Maybe Once, Maybe Twice by Alison Rose Greenberg
4.0
Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I adored this second chance plus friends-to-lovers romance novel (although it was so much more than that)! Singer-songwriter Maggie Vine made a marriage pact with two very different men - her teenage boyfriend and one of her closest guy friends through her 20s and 30s. At 35, she has to confront her feelings for each man head-on.
Alternating between past and present timelines, the author deftly shows us how Maggie fell in love with each man at different stages of her life with each having a different, yet lasting, impact on her life and view on love (I did have a favourite right from the get-go as one of the guys felt spineless to me - not that Maggie was any better!) I felt the book was more about a journey of heartbreak, grief, first love, unrequited love and most of all friendship (loved Summer's story). All characters are flawed characters but relatable - even the ending was crafted in a realistic manner (at least to me).
