YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a passionate tale of friendship, betrayal, and romance.

At twenty-two years old, Sydney has a great life: She's in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her best friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter's cheating on her--and she is left trying to decide what to do next.

Sydney becomes captivated by Ridge, her mysterious neighbor. She can't take her eyes off him or stop listening to the passionate way he plays his guitar every evening out on his balcony. And there's something about Sydney that Ridge can't ignore, either. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one...

Original music created for Maybe Someday by musician Griffin Peterson can be accessed through the website listed in the ebook and paperback.

Maybe Someday (Maybe #1) by Colleen Hoover will be our second GBR for February 2015.

This one is my first Colleen Hoover book too. :) Hoping she's as good as everyone says!

Loved this book so much! I hope you'll all like Ridge as much as I did :)

This will be my first Colleen Hoover book as well. She is very hyped right now and I can't wait to see why. This will my first big read a long and I'm super stoked, but I have no idea how to do the spoiler tag?

To do a spoiler tag you need to type <.spoiler.> just without the dots, and it should show up like this (view spoiler)[ hi ☺ (hide spoiler)]

Ah I wanna join!! I've only read Finding Cinderella by her not knowing it is a novella lol. But I loved it! Can't wait :)

Yay! Welcome Brittnee ☺

I want to join! This will be the first Coolen Hoover's book for me, but I heard she's a very good author :)

I want to join, this will get me to read more for CoHo.. I am still in love with Slammed but I kind of avoid reading for her of fear that it won't be as good >.<'

as for expectations, I try not to have many beforehand ..

Yay! The more the merrier ☺

Starting now. :)

Chapter 1 - (view spoiler)[ Sounds like they had a crazy lunch! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4 - (view spoiler)[ Ah, so that's why that girl assumed she was deaf when she didn't talk. (hide spoiler)]

I'm bored.

chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ yeah, I thought it was pretty obvious from the prologie that her boyfriend and flatmate were cheating together. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ hmm, he really needs to remember that he has a girlfriend. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ it would have been a bit odd otherwise! I thought the girl was just being a b*tch. (hide spoiler)]

I thought that too.

Sarah wrote: "chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

Yep.

chapter 11 (view spoiler)[ yep, you made her a tori. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ that thing about him not being able to hear his own farts is gross. (hide spoiler)]

66% (view spoiler)[ well, there's nothing like cheating with a boy whose girlfriend is dying to make you feel like an utter worthless pile of turd. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "66% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ It's so bad that Ridge is kissing Sydney when he's girlfriends dying! (hide spoiler)]

I really love this book. It is romantic and I love the playlist. :) I've read other Colleen Hoover books, reading them in order of release date (as much as possible)

(view spoiler)[Q2. Do you think that Ridge and Sydney will end up together? Do you think that Ridge is maybe acting a little inappropriately considering that he has a girlfriend? Do you think that he should maybe have told Sydney that he had a girlfriend?

- I think Ridge is torn between two women. His attraction to Sydney is undeniable and I know he is falling for her. He is just afraid of letting Maggie go (with regards of her condition), considering that she is attached to him. Even if he told Sydney he has a girlfriend, he knows that he is not meant for Maggie. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Q3. How do you feel now that you know that Maggie may not have long left to live? Does this make you feel differently about the love triangle?
- I feel sad for her because she can't have a long lasting love because anytime, she will leave this world. Acceptance is what she needs and it's really tough for her to go through that kind of condition. This love triangle is heart wrecking, because one has to lose the other. I know the fact, Maggie will let go. It's a sacrifice. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Q4. What do you see as the best outcome for this love triangle? Do you feel that Ridge did the best thing asking Sydney to move out?
- Some people might find it rude to ask a girl to move out. But I think he should leave and settle his issues with Maggie. Damn. I feel so bad for Maggie. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I think it would be for the best if he let sydney go and focused on maggie, the poor girl is dying, and he's been with her for 10 years! he owes her his loyalty. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ blimey, so maggie was with his best friend when he fell in love with her! how many love triangle are there in this book? (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "Beatrice wrote: "Q3.

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[You got a point. The problem is, he knows he is going to lose her. Maggie realizes she is too selfish to keep Ridge where she knows he deserves happiness. It's indeed sad. I know she is going to let him go. It did broke my heart. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 18 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[about 2 love triangles. (hide spoiler)]

Beatrice wrote: "Sarah wrote: "Beatrice wrote: "Q3.

(view spoiler)[ it really is sad. I don't know how Sydney will live with herself if she splits them up and maggie is dying! (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "Beatrice wrote: "Sarah wrote: "Beatrice wrote: "Q3.

(view spoiler)[Indeed. It's difficult for her and she'll live with guilt. (hide spoiler)]

the end (view spoiler)[ I really feel so so upset for Maggie! (hide spoiler)]

I really loved this book, there is a short-ish book called Maybe Not, about the roommates, whose names escape me right now, I need to read that. This was my first book by this author and I would definitely read more :-)

I'm reading Maybe Not now ☺ I'm actually liking it better than Maybe Someday!

Good to know. I keep meaning to read it and then something else comes along, but I'll move it to the top of the list :-):-) The more I think about it, the thing I did like about the book is it resolved itself in a good way.g

holly shit, I totally forgot we had a buddy read for this one today... :/

OMG. Be prepared for some seriously sexy love scenes! I mean really!

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[I hope he tells Maggie before he tries any thing with Sydney.. even though I fail to see the connection between them, it harbours on lust for me not love but I'll see where it goes.. but initial thought: not impressed! (hide spoiler)]

25% (view spoiler)[ well that explains why he's always watching porn! he's looking for her! (hide spoiler)]

End of chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ OMG. That was a seriously hot sex scene! (hide spoiler)]
