Reviews with content warning for Alcohol - Maybe Someday

Very emotional story in which the characters learn the hard lesson that what brings two people together may not be enough to keep them together. Other reviewers have commented that this book seemed to gloss over the cheating aspect, but there was a conversation relatively early in the book which led me to believe that all was not perfect between what some saw as a perfect couple. I especially liked the deaf representation with a character who was a songwriter. The explanations of his abilities and the way he related to others was very touching.

I read this years ago, but I decided to revisit it. I grew up and changed, so I have a different take now than when I was younger. At the beginning of this story, Sydney annoyed the shit out of me. Her hypocrisy was to the max, and she needed therapy sessions to manage her violence. I surely missed these things years ago because I was so naive back then, never realizing that red flags were in my face, and this book had many of them waving. Even if I disliked her in a massive chunk of this story, I was glad she transformed even a little bit.

I understood Ridge, but he was far from innocent like Sydney insisted a million times. He was a grown-ass man, so he knew what was up. He was deaf, not stupid, but yeah, he did a lot of shitty things as well. He couldn't get mad at Hunter because they had similarities.

I wouldn't say I liked that Sydney and Ridge were both flirting, but they got surprised to develop feelings. What?

Maggie, I hope you live a good life.

Warren, you're the best boy ever. Thank you for being supportive and understanding.

I liked the music part so much. The lyrics were intriguing, and I was happy they bonded through music. Overall, a good read.✨🎧

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.
