When I saw this book would come out I knew I just had to read it. I loved Maybe Someday, and I really liked Warren's character from that book (though I hated Bridgette). How did it fare for both characters?

Let's just say I still love Warren, but oh do I still hate Bridgette. Yeah, I know her life sucked ass, her life was horrendous, but come on, no need to treat everyone like shit and act like this. Especially when someone loves you and truly tries their best. At times I was just frustrated with her attitude, and at times I also wanted to smack Warren for just trying to keep going and all. I just didn't see a future with these 2.

There is also quite a bit of sex which I skipped (because yes, I still find it highly awkward to read about people having sex. It feels like I am trespassing, seeing something I shouldn't see. Especially when it is really graphic and every detail is highlighted and done in a big fashion). So yeah, some pages I just couldn't stomach and I just skipped through it to the better parts.

We learn more about Warren (and find out why he was so addicted about porn during the events of Maybe Someday) and we learn about Bridgette. Sadly, even knowing what Bridgette went through, I didn't like her, and I think I never will like her no matter what she does. She would need to change A LOT for me to start liking her.

It was also a short book, which is a bit of a shame, but I think it is best like this (yeah ain't that confusing). I don't think there is more to be said and more to be done.

Now I just got one wish. More Ridge and more Sydney. :)

Warren and Bridgette have a very strange dynamic, unrealistic personality traits that get them into unrealistic situations, buuut after reading this and book 2 (Maggie's POV) I'm convinced Ridge and Sydney have zero chemistry lol. MUCH prefer seeing these two interacting!

edit: I forgot I wanted to add that I listened to the audiobook version and omg WHY did the dude give everyone weird accents?? It was so bad??

Meh. These characters were weird and sometimes I didn’t understand their actions, but my interest was kept. Nice short book for a weekend read

This is book two in the Maybe Someday series. This is a quick novella that follows the story of Warren and Bridgette who are roommates. It was interesting to see the unexpected connection by the characters in this book. This was a quick read that helped readers to better understand who Warren is and his story.
