I feel like I just arrived home the very moment I discovered this community through @jhymi I doubt she’s even aware of it 😄 I wouldn't want to start going over my love for books and how fulfilled I am to be here, I guess that description had already been sum up in one word “Home”. An awesome feeling this truly is.
And while we talk about books, I would want to give a detailed review of one of Colleen Hoover's books titled ” Maybe Someday” which is totally one of its kind.
Honestly, The day I began these books I was a little reluctant to continue at the time I discovered the male protagonist had a hearing disability which made me question the romantic story behind this read.
Note; Never in my intentions to look down on special humans, Hell No!
The story begins with a broken “Sydney “ who discovers her two-years boyfriend was having an affair with her long-time best friend “Tori” who feels rather sorry about her actions but not regretful since she claims to have nothing other than a “just-sex” relationship and perhaps expected that she would be cool with it.
Probably a common occurrence with best friends… right?
Sydney who couldn't bear living under the same roof with her ex-best friend and cheating boyfriend had to leave the house and that began her journey to a true but risky love tale which almost cost her becoming a character she despised the most in this world. In other words, it almost cost her to become a “Tori”. She was a lover of music and that led her to “Ridge” the lovable guy with a music-passion-filled personality.
Hoover surprised me when a talented character like “Ridge” who could blend into music with utmost passion when he plays his guitar was deaf.
It was a twist I never saw coming.
Sydney loves music with equal passion as Ridge and that began a scary part for them from becoming music partner to developing attractions. A part where they had to choose between morals and the desires of the heart.
Oh! I didn’t mention Ridge was already off the market long before Sydney who he found himself being attracted to, all to stay loyal to his girlfriend. Sydney on the other hand, as a girl who had once gone through the pain of being stopped in the back by the person you love had no intentions of inflicting such pain on another and what comes thereafter was a little unexpected but a good end.
My Opinion
As I said, Hoover’s inspiration was one of a kind that blends with reality. I loved how she brought to life a special character like that “Ridge”. A part where he expressed the world of no sounds made me cry…

And how she managed to express a conflicted attraction with a possible solution was everything. I didn’t regret reading from “Hoovers” and sure anticipate the next part of the book “Maybe Someday “.
