Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

I did a bad thing.

I read the synopsis of the book and a little except and it sounded cool so I decided to read it. I already knew Collen Hoover is a good author. But when I got about halfway through, I started skimming, and then I skimmed through the rest of the book.

It's just... the book was so frustrating. I didn't like where it was and I didn't like the direction it was heading to... And I kinda felt cheated because I thought this book would be different.

You see, Colleen Hoover has this thing where all her book, or at lest the ones I know of, have some big secret in them. And it's gotten old.I thought this one didn't have that plot point. But then it did and it annoyed me.

Honestly, I'm not even upset that skimmed over half the book because I didn't like what happened during the parts I fast-forwarded.

There were a few major reasons for my dislike of the book. One was, of course, the same-old, same-old secret plotline. Then there was the over-dramatic-ness of the whole thing that made me feel icky. Finally, the actions of the characters were morally questionable. And downright dishonest.

The book did have its moments. It was funny, some parts were sweet and sometimes, I even liked the protagonists. Bridget and Warren (the side-characters) were both great.

Overall, it was an okay read. I think it could have worked without all the excessive drama and I wish Collen Hoover would do something fresh. She's a talented author, she should try something a little different.

For now, I think me and Colleen Hoover might take a little break.
