Absolutely terrible - lacking in so much I just don't care enough to write more for this ghastly book.

This book was a major disappointment. Trying to play off rape for romance is a hard no for me, and just perpetuates the problem that is rape culture. I liked Maybe Someday and seeing Warren’s perspective was a great idea, but this could’ve been done so differently. Or left out entirely.

Honestly, I felt that too many pages were spent on spicy scenes were the story could have been developed. Yet, the story was about a very sexual relationship...

I enjoyed understanding the side characters of Maybe Someday a bit more for why they have particular character traits/likes/actions. Also, Bridgette's pranks were so good!

Thank you Colleen for writing this little surprise story. It was an amazing addition to the world of Maybe Someday.

Holy shit, was this supposed to be romantic? This is about a codependent woman and a man who takes advantage of that. Love the scene where he basically rapes her because "I can treat her well, she deserves good sex after all the shitty men she has been with before". Maybe I was just expecting the wrong kind of book, but the writing makes me think Hoover actually found this cute and romantic.

This little pamphlet of a book was so cute. I loved that it showed the side of Bridgette and Warren that we didn’t get to see in Maybe Someday, and I really enjoyed that it actually gave Bridgette a soul and a backstory instead of the bitch she was mostly portrayed as in the previous book. It was short and sweet, and I enjoyed it!
