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.

When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one…

My Review
5+++++ stars!!
Seriously, how can I even begin to discuss a book that has shot to the top of my list of favorite books ever? Colleen Hoover has written another magical, perfect story that will grab your heartstrings and will not let go until the very end. I have to make this review intentionally vague because there is a major plot twist in Maybe Someday that must be experienced first-hand and should not be known before you start reading this book.
“Sometimes in life, we need a few bad days in order to keep the good ones in perspective.”
Truer words were never spoken. Sydney and Ridge’s story was like nothing I have read before. And Maybe Someday is SO much more than just a book, there is a gorgeous soundtrack that accompanies the story and makes this an unforgettable reading and listening experience.
Ridge is hands-down my new favorite book boyfriend. Ms. Hoover has taken a familiar genre, and created an imaginative and unexpected story that surprised and thrilled me and left me with a serious book hangover after finishing. This book is perfection and it is an absolute must-read!!

Lightning Round with Colleen Hoover!
Do you believe in fate?
Not to be a downer, but I really don’t. I’m honestly not a romantic at all. It’s weird that I write romance novels.
Your characters have stayed with me long after I finished your books. Do any of them stay with you after you finish their stories?
Yes! That’s why I end up writing sequels. It seems like I’m never quite finished with my characters after the first book.
Which character has been the most difficult to write and why?
I’d probably have to say Miles. He’s in Ugly Love, which releases August 5th.
Is Griffin as nice (and as cute) in person as he seems from his photos?
He’s seriously one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life. And he’s so humble! He’s really been a pleasure to work with.
What is in your purse right now?
I would tell you if I knew where it was.
