Maybe Not: Colleen Hoover (Maybe someday, 2)

This is a short story that runs alongside Maybe Someday. It explores and explains Bridgette and Warren's relationship, who we sort of meet briefly as background characters in Maybe Someday. It could be read on it's own, but I recommend reading both, as they compliment each other...doesn't really matter which order in my opinion. I was gutted that it was so short and that it got to 82% and that was the end. I actually said a "noooooooo!!!!!" out loud. I have marked other authors down for this, but this one really can do no wrong for me. Short or not, I don't care, I think I'd read this woman's shopping list! Eternally romantic, written with feeling and depth, I'm officially a fan. Fantastic quality writing with not a single editing or grammatical faux pas to be found, her books are an absolute pleasure to read for me. I don't want her to write quicker because I know that real thought goes into her books and I wouldn't want the quality to be compromised for the sake of quantity. If you like a good old love story that leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy, a real story about seemingly real people you can relate to, this author's for you. Fab as always :)

Good easy read , ready to get on with the final one in the series love Colleen hoover books x

I always love Colleen Hoovers books and this was no different. I always seem to never put the book down and this was the very same. I would love to be able to slow down and prolong the amazing book but you just want to read more. I think this book explains so much more from Maybe Someday. Shame there was no song in it. I think Warren and Bridgette are a cute and funny couple. Bridgette has a bit of a tough life and in the book you see she is searching for some answers for a family yet I think she develops a family within the book with Warren. Finding out why Warren was so obsessed with porn made me laugh so much. Warren is such the jokester and never let's anyone live in the apartment without a prank being done. Bridgette is very angry but when she let's down her walls for Warren it is cute. He does have his work cut out for her but he manages to win the girl. I have a complete picture of their apartment in my head now and can just see it so visually through great descriptions. If you are MAYBE thinking of reading the book SOMEDAY do not hesitate just read it you will not regret it. I would read Maybe Someday first. I also would recommend reading all of Colleen Hoovers books

Was a bit disappointed with this book. Love her books but this one was a short read, the third of the size of a normal paperback. The story was predictable with a lot of repeated scenes

Such a good follow on from maybe someday from my favourite character in that book! Would definitely recommend.. 5 stars

I have read Maybe Someday on Sunday (for the second time) and then followed up with Maybe Not on Monday (release day). Colleen Hoover never disappoints. I have been glued to these books for two days now. I read it hungrily and passionately and I loved every bit of it. Now, I feel hollow and I might have withdrawal symptoms soon. I am glad the primary focus was on Warren and Bridgette with very little reference to Ridge and Sydney. I find both books complimentary to each other, yet telling different stories. Both books operate in the same time scale so both romances start and flourish around the same time. Colleen has unique ability to tell the story of healing love in a non patronising way. Bridgette is a 'broken' girl with lots of baggage. She is harsh, rude and unlikeable. I despised Warren in Maybe Someday as shallow, non interesting porn addict. Well, he certainly is not any of those things. Neither of them is what it seems. He is a sensitive chap with great depth into him. She is a girl with a lot to offer but just scared to death to be let down once more so she builds the walls around herself. She pushes Warren away again and again. Would he have enough patience to withhold it? Can she overcome her own fears and let him in? Well, one needs to read the book to find out. :-)) The book could be read on its own.

I LOVED Maybe Someday, so when I found out about Maybe Not I knew I had to read it, getting to see inside Warren and Bridgette's mind and what really makes them tick is a book you don't turn down. My review will be small, and quick, I have literally just sped through the pages to get to the end and see their whole story. Warren I loved him in Maybe Someday, I loved his pranks, his undeniable loyalty towards Ridge, and his love/hate relationship with Bridgette. Warren is the prankster, the joker, and only really comes across as a serious person when it involves band business, so getting to see in his mind and how he really thinks really changed my mind about how I pictured him. Warren is honest, and determined to get his way, and I love how he is there for Bridgette and doesn't shy away when he learns about her past. Bridgette I honestly didn't really like her much in Maybe Someday, but I was interested in seeing why she acts the way she does, why she is so bitchy and cranky toward others, and most importantly why she constantly pushed Warren away. As we delve into her past, we get to see why she is who she is, and my heart broke for her, going through what she has done has got to be tough on anyone, and she only gives off the emotions she has had to deal with herself. With no-one to love her how can she really show how she loves, or even cares, for anther person. Colleen Hoover really knows how to keep on surprising you. Maybe Not was a short read but does not lack on quality. I thought I knew every aspect of Maybe Someday, but with Maybe Not we are shown a new angle on certain things, one of them is Bridgette's reason for becoming a roommate, but the other is a prank played on someone else.....I'll let you find out who and what it is, and I'll also leave you with this little quote. “The only difference between falling in love and being in love is that your heart already knows how you feel, but your mind is too stubborn to admit it.”

I found this book and storyline poor compared to colleens previous releases. It lacks character building, depth and real emotion, you cant understand the reason behind some of the behaviour of the characters because you get no incite in to their past. I find this book boring and predictable. Nothing to draw me in. More annoying is for £1.99 the story is far to short, a case of the author milking it. I also think sex is and sexual language content is good in a book, but not when it's obvious and over used as a focus selling point, that spoils the whole story. Very juvenile behaviour from the characters too. Not a book I can recomend, but would buy (with caution) or he releases by this author.
