Maybe I Love You by Briyanna Michelle missed the mark entirely for me. I had no investment in the characters and, despite his beautiful language, vulnerability, and wealth, there was something about Donavan that just didn't make him swoon worthy to me. And I wasn't really buying Ivory's attraction to Donavan either. I appreciate the LGBT+ representation and the discussion around the FMC Ivory's sexuality, but it all felt so rushed and I didn't finish the book with a broader understanding of the character. I also didn't like the Acacia-Vera connection/storyline. If the book were just a tad longer with more developed characters and some tension and angst (you have a MMC who has been pining for his best friend for years, you have an FMC who has been left at the altar, you have a FMC who has been denied by her father because of his homophobia), I would've appreciated the story a lot more. Unfortunately, I don't recommend Maybe I Love You, but book 1 of the Undeniably In Love series is decent.
