By Colleen Hoover
Another Colleen Hoover heart-tugging, heart-wrenching book. I love the ending, of course or I wouldn’t read it till the last chapter.
What I don’t get in the story is the violence. I have mixed emotions and attitude towards domestic violence especially in those cases where it has continually been happening. But who am I to pass judgement or comment on it? I feel for the victim but I especially laud those who managed to walk out of it and free themselves sooner rather than later. I reckon death was so unnecessary in the story to bring the point across. I just hate unnecessary evil even if it’s in stories only – doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen in real life though. But that’s the point. We are already bombarded with all the gruesome news and events every day. Why taint a seemly innocent and lovely story. But, it’s not my book so to say.
It’s sad and bitter-sweet for Tate, I suppose. There are a lot of emotions running high and low in the story and I am just glad that the ending was quite good.
Books like this gives me lots of “what-ifs”. What if Maria is alive? Of course, there’s no story.
This is still a good read.

I read one of the reviews for this book and was compared to
another book about strong, dominant main male character. Frankly, it gives me prejudices. I can’t stop comparing Clayton to the lead
character in the other book.
But to give the author credit, it is vastly entertaining and
yes, I am waiting for the next book. The
cover makes you want to go to Maldives.
Yes, Clayton is one of my favourite lead characters in books
that I’ve read so far. Though, with him
staying in Maldives doesn’t make sense.
Why can’t he go with her? Now
look what happened. She found something
and her imagination go overdrive and they broke up unnecessarily, I
reckon. Because I am sure they will be
reunited. I suppose, they have to
breakup for the book 2 to be exciting.
Lol.
I’d recommend this one if you’re looking for a
light reading on a plane.

Maybe Someday by Colleen HooverMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is one of the most poignant books I ever read. It’s not at the top but it’s almost. The situation that Ridge was in and how he acted on it makes me realise and gives me the right perspective that indeed, it is possible to love two persons at the same time. How you act on it determines the outcomes and the happiness or sadness of the party involved.
I am not in favour on how Ridge acted on it before Maggie’s decision but at the same time, Ms Hoover wrote it in a way that doesn’t make you hate Maggie or Sydney. It makes me believe that this situation is indeed possible and there’s just not an easy way out. I applaud Maggie for standing up for herself despite her getting hurt in the process. I suppose, she had a happy ending too. And in doing so, she gave Ridge and Sydney their own happy ending.
I like how Ridge is the most emotional among all the characters in this book. I love men who know how to show their emotion and don’t make it messy and don’t make you think that they’re less of a man – I’m married to one.
I love the other supporting characters except Hunter and Tori of course. I don’t understand and get men or women who cheat. ‘Nough said.
This book opens up the door for me for more Ms Colleen Hoover books. Happy days and crying times.
