Maybe Once, Maybe Twice by Alison Rose Greenberg
4.0

What happens when you make a marriage pact with two different men, at two very different points in your life, and both of those men come back to cash in on that promise you made? Maybe Once, Maybe Twice by Alison Rose Greenberg tells that very story of Maggie Vine and the only two men she’s ever loved in her life – Asher Reyes (teenage boyfriend turned movie star heartthrob) and Garrett Scholl (unrequited love and Mr. Maybe after multiple missed opportunities). This book was both poignant and funny. The dual timelines and flashbacks tied the present day story together so well, that it really made you understand why Maggie was where she was in her life. There were definitely times I wanted to shake her because she wasn’t making a choice I would have made, but ultimately she did end up choosing the right guy – in my opinion. Lots of heartache and longing and a slow burn – which personally I’m a huge sucker for! The 90s music nostalgia was also very real in this book, and had me running to Spotify to listen to the songs that were mentioned throughout the book (Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters, Fall Out Boy…the list goes on and on). Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and definitely recommend you add it to your TBR.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided to me through NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to Alison Rose Greenberg and St. Martin's Press, St. Martin's Griffin for giving me the opportunity to read this book!
