Heiß ersehnt: die neue Hoover!
Endlich sind Sydney und Ridge auch offiziell ein Paar, und eigentlich könnte alles perfekt sein. Dies umso mehr, als Ridges Exfreundin Maggie dabei ist, sich umzuorientieren: Beim Skydiving hat sie Jake kennengelernt, und der ist ganz offenkundig ebenso interessiert an Maggie wie sie an ihm. Doch als ihre Krankheit erneut ausbricht, gibt sie ihm aus lauter Angst gleich wieder den Laufpass – und sucht Hilfe bei dem Menschen, der ihr so vertraut ist wie kein anderer: Ridge…

Seriously?? Hypocrite Sydney is still a saint, Cheater Ridge is the best boyfriend on the planet and everyone gets hitched on the same day after all that went down? What a load of bull.
2 stars, that too only for Maggie and the only decent boyfriend she's ever had!

My goodness, this was cheese-galore but I lapped it up like a dog.
I wasn't sure whether a sequel was needed. Maybe Someday ended pretty perfect for me.
But I'm so glad this story continued on. I loved getting to know the characters more. It wasn't just about Sydney and Ridge, but the others too and it was great to see their awkward dynamic come into play and seeing them handling that.
Be aware that the cheese is hard, people. Well, my definition of cheese anyway. It's been grated on every page that by the end of it, you might very well be sick of it.
So, be sure to be in a cheesy mood when reading this.
Or on your period.
I'm really glad Hoover wrote this.

****spoilers from the first book will be mentioned*****
Colleen Hoover basically took my all time favorite couple and ruined them beyond repair. In my opinion it was also an awful interpretation of a person living with CF and I feel bad for anyone with CF reading this book. You could tell by the end even Colleen must hate this book since after taking months off from writing it she came back and rushed the ending with such unbelievable events that it was like a 14 year old writing amateur fan fiction.
Ridge and Sydney were two amazing characters and Maybe Someday ended with them finally coming together yet still having a communication barrier. There were so many awesome directions a sequel could take. How do you navigate a relationship when one is deaf and the other is just learning ASL? What would it be like to travel and tour with a band? What is the deal with Brennen?
Yet Maybe Now doesn't take any of those choices instead focusing on a character that didn't really need a story and that is Maggie. In Maybe Someday she was this mythical perfect woman that Ridge put on a pedestal, the delicate flower that needed to be protected at all costs even Ridge's own happiness. And in the brief glimpse we get of her in the story she is kind of like cardboard and really boring that I didn't care what happened to her.
But even I could admit there is potential for a good story for her like how is it like living with CF? How do you move on and make your own friends and relationships now that the guy you depended on is gone? But we get none of that instead we get Maggie acting like a 2 year old and making her ex boyfriends jump every time she snaps her fingers because she never made any friends of her own.
At this point in the story I was just hoping she would hurry up and die so Ridge and to some extent Warren could finally be free of her.
I won't say anything else that happens in the story in case you are a glutton for punishment and want to put yourself through the torture of reading this book.
However if you loved Ridge and Sydney at all then please please please do not read this book. Because you will hate them by the end of Maybe Now.
I am hoping in a year or so I will have forgotten this story and maybe just maybe I will be able to read Maybe Someday for the 15th time and enjoy it again.

I don’t know why I’ve put this book off for so long. I read Maybe Someday when it first came out and loved it. There were moments in this book I didn’t love, but overall I really did enjoy it. Warren and Bridgette were the highlight for me. The ending was fun and not what I expected. It was nice to get more from Maggie and overall I liked it a lot.
We shouldn’t revolve our lives around their possible endings. We should revolve our lives around the experiences that lead to the endings.

Terminar un libro con la cara llena de lágrimas, apagar tu celular y seguir llorando, de emoción, de alegría, de tristeza, y todo junto.
Eso es terminar un libro que te encanta.
Eso es lo que me pasó con este. Lo termine de leer en Wattpad, ya que lo venía siguiendo desde marzo a esta tercera parte, y segunda parte de la historia de Ridge y Sydney.
Les tengo un cariño enorme a estos personajes desde Maybe Someday, es que ame esa historia con mi vida y creo que es la mejor de colleen para mí (después le sigue All your perfect). Y eso que cuando arranqué ese libro no esperaba que me iba a gustar un montón, y al final me gustó mucho más que eso..
Y cuando me enteré que la historia continuaba en Maybe Now no podía estar mas feliz y era una tortura cuando Colleen no actualizaba la historia.
Pero la espera valió la pena.
Cada vez que subía un capítulo nuevo dejaba todo lo que estaba haciendo en ese momento y me lo ponía a leer, y por ahí no tenía nada de impresionante el capítulo y yo me emocionaba igual.
Por qué les agarre cariño a todos los personajes.
Maggie siempre fue mi favorita, ojo también amo a Sydney, pero Maggie siempre me pareció una persona madura, una chica real, que de todas las cosas de mierda que le pasaron ella nunca se rindió, siempre quiso hacer más de lo que podía. No tenía miedo a arriesgarse, y se me hizo un personaje tan real, nunca la pude odiar, siempre le tuve un cariño. Y me encantó este final para ella.
Ahora con Bridgette y Warren, estos dos siempre me hacían reír muchísimo, A veces no los toleraba, pero me encantó su relación, fue diferente a la de los demás y eso al mismo tiempo la hacía única.
Ahora mis Sydney y Ridge,.una de mis parejas favoritas, voy a extrañar tanto a estos dos. En esté libro su relación fue madurando, y se fueron conociendo más el uno al otro. Fue preciosos leer todo eso, no puedo explicar con palabras, me emocionaba cada vez que Ridge le cantaba a Sydney, o cuando Sydney bailaba con Ridge. Todos sus momentos fueron únicos. El comienzo de su enamoramiento fue creíble, como los dos finalmente se volvieron novios, todo fue hermoso y no siempre disfruto de leer tanto a una pareja, pero con estos era un deleite leerlos.
Amé a Jake por.como era con Maggie, Me encantó su relación.
Pero la de Ridge y Sydney es un clásico (para mí), y espero ansiosamente que colleen publique un epílogo de cómo están todos dentro de varios años.
Ya cerrando, calculo que la reseña me está quedando larguísima pero entiendan que este libro me encanta, y lo vengo siguiendo hace como diez meses a la historia.
La verdad fue precioso, y si sentí algo apresurado el final, pero de todos modos me encantó y lo acepte.
Colleen otra vez hiciste magia con tus libros. Y gracias por darnos esta historia espectacular.
Lo super recomiendo.

I was expecting more in Maggie's story (i didnt need Ridge & Sydney in this book, sorry) 💀💀💀
the good thing is i love jake. i do think i'd love this book more if the book focuses on maggie & jake's relationship and some conflicts to add. the ending's kinda cringe...

Warning: IF YOU LOVED MAYBE SOMEDAY PLEASE DON'T READ THIS.
This isn't a sequel or continuation to Ridge and Sydney's story, not really this is pretty much Maggie's book and it's an unrealistic and delusional one. I get it this is fiction, but i was baffled at the lack of research displayed in this book towards Maggie's illness and to be honest even disrespectful to people who suffer from CF. Don't let me get started on how everyone was magically "adapting" to thier very messed up situation. The way Maggie kept on tangling herself into everyones lives and how everyone went from 0 to 100 with her ended up being sickengly sweet, unrealistic and straight up toxic. I was never particularly found of Maggie but I could empathize for her situation in MS but this book made her completly unlikable to me and I completely hated how Ridge and Sydney were portrayed, it's like their personalities completly changed and they never were the couple we we're routing for in MS. Im definitely not here for ruining one great book for the sake of making an unlikable character who gets off in playing victim get her way.

I can’t believe I didn’t know this book existed until today, it was such a delight to continue reading all of these characters stories. I have to say I love each and every single character in the maybe someday world and I’m so happy that I finally read this.

In, Colleen Hoover Maybe now we meet Ridge and Sidney who are finally together and dealing with the aftermath in Maybe Someday Although I haven't read the one I really enjoyed this and could

This was almost sickeningly sweet. I could have done with less Maggie and more Ridge & Sydney (and Warren & Bridgette!). It would have been nice to see how their relationship evolved without the constant presence of Ridge’s ex in their lives.
November 16, 2018
Did I feel the need to have a new book about the characters from Maybe someday? No, I did not.
Did I read said book anyway because I’m trash and I would read everything Colleen Hoover decides to give us? Well yes, of course I did read it!
This book was okay, it didn't feel that special to me. I'm just happy to have read it because Maybe someday is my favourite Colleen Hoover's book and so I had to see what the characters were up to.

Maybe Someday was never my favorite Coho book, but I did love Maybe Not. Since I read EVERYTHING Coho writes, I wanted to give this book a shot. I enjoyed it, but there were many points when I considered dnf-ing mostly because I wasn't interested in the story.
Maybe Now takes place close to the end of Maybe Someday. In this book we get 4 perspectives, it was nice to see Maggie's perspective on things because I always felt she was left out of the situation. Like I said, I enjoyed this book, but I am not invested in these characters and there were a couple things in this book I gave the side eye to. But I think Coho fans and fans of the first book would love this one.

A very surprising 3-3.5 stars, given how much I loved Maybe Someday. I think I would've enjoyed this more if it was just a Maggie novella.
November 9, 2018
I was curious if this new Colleen’s story on Wattpad after the awesome Too late. I was happy to see Maybe Someday’s characters again, and not very happy to see that Ridge and Sydney’s problems with Maggie were not resolved at all. She’s too related to them, I can’t be friend with my lover’s ex, sorry.
Jake is my new crush and I would love to see more of him and his story. But I think after a long break, Colleen was fed up with this story and fans crazy reactions, so she ends it in a sweet but too rush way, and I’m disappointed.

One star for Warren and Bridgette being their hilariously awesome selves, the other characters were unrecognizable. This book served no purpose and very nearly ruined Maybe Someday for me. The ending was extremely lazy and rushed and broke my cheese radar. Did not feel like CoHo writing sadly.

Really?
¿Eso es todo?
Tengo un gran issues con Colleen Hoover por no darle conclusión a las historias y siempre terminarlas así o sea me quedé igual que con Maybe Someday ‘¿DÓNDE ESTÁ MI EPÍLOGO?
Desde que terminé Maybe Someday hace algunos años siempre rogaba a los dioses literarios por un epílogo y luego me entero que no era epílogo era segunda parte y pss me emocioné. Sidney y Ridge son una de mis parejas favoritas y merecían un verdadero Happy Ending a la altura, por lo tanto tenía muchas expectativas.
Realmente el libro estuvo MEEEEH!!! Una historia que podría haber tomado muchas directrices interesantes se fue por la peor y eso es incluir a Maggie y su drama con nuevo galán es que en serio A MI NO ME IMPORTABA LO QUE LE PASARA A ELLA. Podría haberle escrito una historia corta sólo para ella pero no incluirla en la de Sidney y Ridge.
Al final todo parecía un fanfic mal escrito de watpad… ups se olvidaba, esto fue escrito para wattpad pero no parece que fuera por Colleen Hoover a pesar de que no todos sus libros me gustan al menos están bien escritos.
Anyway.. . lo único rescatable fueron algunas escenas de Ridge y Sidney que siempre me parecen tan fuckin lindos y Warren y Bridgget que me hacen reír.

Maybe Now by Colleen Hoover. Apparently this book has a 1.5 in between which i thought was #3. She doesn’t have them clearly marked like many authors do. I really enjoyed the first book. This one I didn’t enjoy as much. Fast read, fair amount of romance into brief sex. Not much of a plot.

May 11, 2019
Creo que estoy siendo generosa con las 3 estrellas, porque esto es un fanfic pésimo, no me creo en absoluto que CoHo haya escrito esto, esta fatal!.
Básicamente, Colleen Hoover se llevó la pareja de este libro y la arruinó sin remedio, parecen una pareja de adolescentes hormonales que no pueden quitarse las manos de encima. En mi opinión, también fue una interpretación horrible de una persona que vive con FQ y me siento mal por cualquier persona con FQ que lea este libro. Al final, se podría decir que incluso Colleen debe odiar este libro, ya que después de haberse tomado meses sin escribirlo, regresó y se apresuró a terminar con eventos tan poco creíbles que fue como un escritor de ficción de 14 años.
Ridge y Sydney eran dos personajes asombrosos y Maybe Someday terminó con que finalmente se unieron y aún tenían una barrera de comunicación. Había tantas direcciones asombrosas que una secuela podía tomar. ¿Cómo navega una relación cuando uno es sordo y el otro simplemente está aprendiendo el lenguaje de señas? ¿Cómo sería viajar y hacer una gira con una banda? ¿Cuál es el trato con Brennan?
Sin embargo, Maybe Now no toma ninguna de esas opciones, en su lugar decide centrarse en un personaje que realmente no necesita una historia y esa es Maggie. En Tal vez Mañana ella era la mítica mujer perfecta que Ridge colocaba en un pedestal, la delicada flor que necesitaba protegerse a toda costa, incluso la propia felicidad de Ridge. Y en el breve vistazo que vemos de ella en la historia, ella es como un cartón y es realmente aburrido que no me importara lo que le sucedió.
Pero incluso puedo admitir que hay un potencial para una buena historia para ella, ¿cómo es vivir con FQ? ¿Cómo sigues y haces tus propios amigos y relaciones ahora que el tipo del que dependías se ha ido? Pero no obtenemos nada de eso. En cambio, hacemos que Maggie actúe como una niña de 2 años y haga saltar a su ex novios cada vez que chasquea los dedos porque nunca hizo amigos.
En este punto de la historia, solo esperaba que ella se diera prisa y muriera para que Ridge y hasta cierto punto Warren finalmente pudiera librarse de ella.
No diré nada más que suceda en la historia en caso de que tengas mucho valor y quieras pasar por la tortura de leer este libro.
Sin embargo, si te encantaron Ridge y Sydney, por favor no leas este libro, porque los odiarás al final de Maybe Now.

This story is a follow up to where Maybe Someday ends. If you haven’t read that book, I don’t recommend starting this one until you do. However, it’s not necessary to read the novella, Maybe Not, in order to enjoy this one, though I did.
Now that Ridge’s relationship with Maggie has ended, he and Sydney are fully exploring the new freedom to give into their true feelings. However, he and Warren are Maggie’s only support system and now what should that look like, be like? Maggie is enjoying her new freedom though she still has some resentment for how Ridge handled everything. Enter Jack, a man who helped her with the first item on her bucket list...and one more. Can she risk being in another relationship? How should she be living her life knowing that it’s on a short timeline?
I’m glad I waited so long to start this series because listening to them back to back made such a difference. While I could imagine what would be next for Ridge and Sydney, it wasn’t as easy figuring out the same for Maggie. I loved how the conflicts were presented and developed without any easy answers. It really helped having the points of view from Ridge, Sydney, Maggie & Jack. And let’s not forget Warren & Bridgette for comic relief.
I was thrilled, too, that the audiobook featured four narrators. I’m a big fan of using multiple narrators in books with more than one narrative and this one was an ideal example. I enjoyed all of them as they seemed to all “get” their characters. And, it was so easy to recognize the transitions as their voices were distinctively different. I loved the format and the story, even with its sort of fairy tale ending but it worked for me. And, having a musical construct as the foundation just made me love it even more.
(I received a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.)

The cheesiest ending ever and not very realistic. After reading the first two books, my expectations for this one weren’t high. The strangeness of the love triangle continues. The plot wasn’t very well developed and not much happens in the whole book. I honestly didn’t feel the need for book 1.5 and 2, as the first one was enough for this story. I did like the female friendship aspect in this one and Maggie’s love story. I have loved many of Colleen’s books, but I didn’t really like this series.

“That’s the beauty of love, isn’t it? It comes in so many different forms, shapes, sizes, textures. And it’s ever changing.”
Oh my goodness for the cheesy pizza but I just needed this in my life right now. The love in this is so pure that it made me want to just dance. So be warned — super lovey dovey but I think it was exactly what I needed.

“She’s about to melt, just like her bowl of ice cream.”
I'm not one for books that are released by chapter or newsletter - mostly weekly...it's an excruciating wait especially when you read 2-3 books a week. I've been trying to just wait until the whole book is released and that's what I did with this one and I'm glad I did. Plus I can't really complain when the author makes them free. (thank you CH)
I really love Ridge and Sydney together and I couldn't wait for more of them. What I didn't like was hearing more of Ridge and Maggie...that was no bueno.
However, I did -sort of- like Maggie and Jake together. And all my reasonings for not liking them a lot boils down to it being hard to accept the "other" woman. Even though we get to know Maggie better, I think that her situation and everything just made things hard.
Ridge is also a horndog...and very sappy. He was almost too sweet.
I -somewhat- enjoyed Warren and Bridgette...what a crazy couple. At every juncture, I expected a break up.
Then there's that ending, cheesy for sure but definitely different.

A cute ending to Ridge & Sydney’s love story! I enjoyed this series of hers but not as much as HOPELESS // LOSING HOPE ❤️
