Reviews with content warning for Alcoholism - Maybe Someday

I absolutely loved this book from start to finish - well almost finish. I understand what Colleen was doing with the scene she decided to end on, but for me it was a weird way to end. The ending was definitely different than most other romance plots. And this entire book was actually. I think that's why I liked it so much! The prologue is actually about events that happen within the timeline of the entire novel. Which - when I turned the page to chapter one and saw that it was 3 weeks earlier than the prologue I was a bit afraid that 350 pages were only going to occur in 3 weeks time. Colleen sure knows how to scare me!

The soundtrack that goes along with this novel is FANTASTIC - you should totally listen to the songs as they appear in the novel. This just brought in a whole new element to the story (and my reading) that I missed the acoustic guitar when I had to continue on. What I need is an acoustic version (no lyrics) of all those songs to play while I'm reading in the future!

Some of those twists in to create the 3rd act of the novel - my goodness Colleen how do you think of this stuff!

I liked this book a lot! I don’t like the cover with the guitar! But that’s neither here nor there! I enjoyed the characters! I was in tears! My dog passed away very recently and her name was Maggie so when that all happened you bet your ass I was crying!
I love Warren! Always will! I read maybe not before I read this one so I knew warrens story!!
I get why people didn’t finish this book because of the cheating but I don’t find it massively triggering even tho I’ve had personal experiences! If cheating is a trigger than this whole book is just not a book for you!
I am excited to read maybe now and finish this series!
I never thought I would read Colleen Hoover because her books just didn’t seem like something I would enjoy. Now I’ve tried her out I realise I do like her writing style!

Honestly this book gets bad rep. but since i finished the book i understand. it was very interesting but it made me tense up so hard bc Ridge was such an asshole towards everyone when he was the problem. I feel horrible for Maggie. but i absolutely love Warren sm. Has my whole heart.

I’m not a fan of Infidelity so it made me really uncomfortable at times. I feel bad for Maggie and honestly the biggest power move would have been if Sydney and Maggie had gotten together and forgotten about Ridge. I just feel that he didn’t choose Sydney in the end but he pretended as if he did. He chose Maggie, kicked Sydney to the curb (literally) and then only "chose" Sydney when Maggie rejected him.
I love Colleen Hoover and I still think it was a devastating story. However, I do think that it glorified infidelity a smidge.
