Book Review: Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

Summary:

At twenty-two years old, aspiring musician Sydney Blake has a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her good friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter cheating on her with Tori—and she is left trying to decide what to do next.

Sydney becomes captivated by her mysterious neighbor, Ridge Lawson. She can’t take her eyes off him or stop listening to the daily guitar playing he does out on his balcony. She can feel the harmony and vibrations in his music. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either: He seems to have finally found his muse. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one…

 

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a passionate tale of friendship, betrayal, and romance—and the enchanting music that inspires one young woman to put her life back together.

Review:

I love Colleen Hoover, and when I learned of her latest release---and the fact that I was several months late in reading it---I bought Maybe Someday and started reading it the same day. 

 

Hoover writes contemporary fiction stories with likable characters, realistic storylines, sizzling chemistry, and tons of emotion.  I always need at least one tissue while reading her work, and Maybe Someday was no exception.

 

I loved every aspect of Maybe Someday.  I wouldn't change a thing about it: it was a perfectly written, moving read.  It was much deeper and more emotional than I expected it to be, which I loved.  There's a big surprise about one of the main characters, and it completely changes the tone and arc of the story.  I loved that the characters in Maybe Someday are struggling with some atypical issues.  The issues gave the story more depth, and made the book much more relevant to me personally.  I don't want to say more and spoil the story.

 

I can't say enough good things about Colleen Hoover and will continue to buy and read everything she writes.  Maybe Someday was quite possibly my favorite book by Colleen Hoover to date.  I highly recommend this moving, inspiring story!
