Maybe Someday

 

 

Oh, Colleen Hoover, you've done it again. Honestly you can do no wrong. I just love your books more and more with each one I read. Maybe Someday was no exception. I was hooked from the first page and I knew before I was even half way through that this was going to be my favorite book of all time, ever.

 

Maybe Someday is about a music education major, Sydney, who is helping her guitarist neighbor, Ridge, write music. They both become very attached to one another, even though they do their best to fight it.

 

Colleen Hoover teamed up with the very attractive musician, Griffin Peterson (he's also the cover model on Losing Hope), to incorporate music throughout the book. There is a spot for you to scan a bar code with your smart phone and you can listen to the songs that Sydney and Ridge write together. It makes for an awesome and unique reading experience. I loved the music as much as the book.

 

I cannot gush enough over the characters in this novel. They were all so perfect. Sydney, Ridge, Warren, Maggie, and even Bridgette- they were all strong, confident, and they all had a sense of humor (especially Warren). I'm not sure that I've read a book recently where I liked all of the characters. I know this is a stand alone novel, but I sure hope that Mrs. Hoover surprises us all and gives us more Sydney and Ridge..... please?! 

Thoughtless

 

 

I had a love/hate relationship with this book. That being said, I could not put it down. Thoughtless centers around a love triangle. Kiera and Denny are the perfect, happy couple. Kiera follows Denny from Ohio to Seattle so that he can start the internship of a lifetime. They rent a room from the wildly attractive, Kellan, who just so happens to be Denny's friend. Denny goes on a business trip and while he is gone Kiera and Kellan's relationship becomes more intimate. In the end Kiera has to choose between a comfortable, familiar love, or a passionate, overwhelming love.

 

I am just going to say it.... I hated Kiera! She was so frustrating, selfish, and caused everyone a lot of pain. Also, I've never heard of someone blushing and crying as much as she did. It was ridiculous that she thought she could keep both Denny and Kellan. Why would she even want to do that?! I just wanted to scream and shake her. Stop ruining every one's lives and JUST MAKE A DECISION! She was by far one of the worst female characters I've encountered in quite awhile. She did redeem herself a little at the end. After Denny went back to Australia and Kellan told her that he couldn't be with her. She finally left them both alone then. FINALLY!

 

While I hated Kiera, I loved Kellan. Put aside the sexy, rock star persona, he was a funny, tortured character. His past was heart breaking and he was so insecure. Denny was mostly in the dark about the whole affair for most of the book, but I always felt bad for Kellan. That's what drove me crazy was how much Kiera hurt Kellan and just assumed that he didn't care for her, even thought it was blatently obvious.

 

I will definitely be reading the second book, Effortless. Thoughtless was so emotional and angsty. I clearly was annoyed with Kiera, but I really want to see where this series goes from here.
