Review: Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

Maybe Someday is a contemporary romance written by Colleen Hoover and tells the story of Sydney and Ridge. Sydney is a 20  something  woman who did all the right things, she has a steady job, a longtime boyfriend and is rooming with her best friend. Though she is interested in the coming and goings of her neighbor Ridge, she is a typical good girl. Her life is thrown off track when she discovers that her boyfriend and best friend have been hooking up behind her back thanks to Ridge's observations.

Good Impressions

I liked Ridge and Sydney together. Most of their relationship is built on desire and frustration, These are two people who want desperately to do the right thing by each other and the other people in their circle.  After meeting Sydney, Ridge struggles whether to admit to her that he's witnessed the affair between her boyfriend and best friend. Once he tells her, she moves in with him after punching the for mentioned people and they struggle with a strong attraction.

I liked that their connection is fairly easy. Nothing feels forced and they don't end up in bed after one drunken night. This story takes is time developing their relationship so that it feels natural. Despite the fact Ridge is in a committed relationship to Maggie you really feel as though he loves them both just differently.

Not so Good Impressions

The secondary story line with Bridget and Warren was not as endearing as Sydney and Ridge's. I understood the awkwardness of their relationship initially but found that it wasn't as interesting or engaging as Sydney and Ridge's. They hooked up because it was convenient by found they had genuine feelings for each other later. I don't fault that type of relationship but find it paled in comparison to the "epic" desire between the main characters.

Also there is no epilogue!!! What happens to these couples? What happens to Tori and Hunter (Sydney's ex)? Does Sydney ever speak to either again especially now that she's over their betrayal?

My Verdict: 4 Stars




There wasn't much to dislike about this one. It was romantic and well written. I personally don't care for lyrics to be written in the story but found even I enjoyed their prose. I'm sure that I will be adding Colleen Hoover to my "to read" authors.
