SUMMARY:
At twenty-two years old, aspiring musician Sydney Blake has a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her good friend, Tori. 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. She can feel the harmony and vibrations in his music. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either: He seems to have finally found his muse. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one…

While making this review let me tell you that I'm currently listening to the soundtrack by Griffin Peterson and it is making me nostalgic, Author Colleen Hoover wanted to make it more genuine so she decided to actually put songs in this book, Griffin Peterson wrote the songs, I find it all amazing!
It brings fresh memories into my mind like the way I read the book.
I finished this book in 2 days because I can't simply put it down.
Maybe Someday started with a prologue telling what happened to Sydney, that she is standing in the rain after breaking up with her cheating boyfriend, Hunter with her roommate and best friend, Tori that just sucks considering it is her birthday, to makes things worse.
She gets some help from her neighbor named, Ridge and he let her stay in his apartment... and this is how things started to grow!
this book is filled with Plot twists, I can't even count.. but here's a few:
1. Ridge is DEAF.
After reading the part where he let Sydney in his apartment he told her that if she is not going to look into him while talking they might as well go back to texting. I started rolling in my seat and raising my brows in confusion, I don't get it. really, it doesn't hit me the tiniest bit.
I mean, HE IS PLAYING GUITAR IN THE BALCONY and Sydney loves to listen to his songs and one time she even mouthing her very own lyrics to it so he decided, to ask for her number and make her text the lyrics to him. I never see this one coming, I thought this is just the greatest prank of all.
2. Sydney and Ridge both has relationship. He has a Girlfriend named Maggie, which is also DEAF.
I mean, ever since I read that Sydney has been listening to her neighbor in the balcony while he is playing playing guitar, I know they are my OTP already, so it is a shocked to me when her boyfriend came over and kissed her, then later on Ridge reveals he also have a girlfriend who happens to visit him, every 2 weeks or so or when she is not busy doing the T word (I don't know if i'm allowed to say this but it is THESIS)
3. Ridge is the one who found out that Sydney's bf is cheating on her.
Since, he is always out in his balcony playing guitar and he is the one who witness what is going on. He even thinks that the betrayal happens when Sydney is out or in the sower because he notice they always make it quick. He knew it all along and he doesn't even know how to tell her.
That maybe explains why Sydney saw him leave the balcony with a unlikely face, because he it.
Hunter, the boyfriend kissing Sydney yet he is aloof.
4. Maggie
After Sydney and Ridge's first kiss, everything is just laid in front of them, every truth, every emotion they hide, feelings they try to control but it all goes to the point that they really develop a strong attachment together, because of music, it paved the way for them to have this sense of connection to each other, it took them a while for the two of them to admit they are both in love because Ridge has Maggie and he can't leave her (and he won't) because he is holding her sickness, that he can't leave her because she is not in good condition, that he is holding for the fact that they been together for years and yet he felt something so strong for someone else, and the moment comes when it is too hard for the two of them to write music together and set aside their feelings for each other, Sydney found Maggie in the bathroom unconscious and that's the time she found out she is sick and the reason he don't wanna leave her.
Sooner, Maggie found out everything by reading all the messages Ridge and Sydney exchanged.
From there, It feels like, every turn of the page this book made me cry, like how I cried when I read THE FAULT IN OUR STARS in 2012 or ALLEGIANT last year.. maybe I even shred more tears in this book, than any other books I read because it reminds me of someone I used to love and he is also passionate about music.
There mere fact, It all started so nice and lovey-dovey I never knew I will be going to this twist and turn ride of emotions one way to the next and there are few moments where in I'm going to squeal because it is so cheesy. sometimes I go "OMG WHAT IS THIS?"
While reading this book, it is like a roller coaster ride, going up and down and messing up with emotions.
I cried a lot in this book (I say it like I am so proud, which is, I am) and I love every minute of it, I love how Sydney doesn't change the way he treats Ridge even after she knows he is deaf, I like that a lot! I love how in this book, they never treated the deafness of the characters as a hindrance.
I really love Colleen Hoover now and for sure, I'm going to read her previous books, because after reading Maybe Someday which I consider a masterpiece, She made me a fan in an instant!
I WILL RE-READ IT AGAIN AND CRY ALL OVER AGAIN!
