Are you really a doctor?” I yell over the roar of the engines. We’re seated directly across from one another in the small airplane. His smile is huge and full of teeth so straight and white, I would bet money he’s actually a dentist. And while this is a spinoff novella of Maybe Someday, I'd like to emphasize that it's NOT a rehash of that aforementioned book :) Maybe Not was a really fun & sweet read. It's a novella & a spin off from Maybe Someday & I can't describe how excited I was when I heard that we'd have a book about Warren & Bridget. Warren was one of the best characters in Maybe Someday. I loved him so much & I was very excited when I realised that this was written from his POV.

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.. He said those words numerous times last night, but hearing them again this morning still feels like he’s saying them for the first time. I smile and pull my hand from his so I can sign, I love you, too. I walked on the clouds all day. Every once in a while we all need one of those "feel good", happy and fluffy reads. oud yet, and I don’t know enough sign language to hold a full conversation at a decent pace. I’m sure until we both get better, texting will remain our primary form of communication. I watch him text for a moment, and then my phone pings. Warren. Oh my God, Warren! Tanja can we squeeze him into your harem somehow? Do not worry, I will take care of him.

Rotating narration from Maggie, Sydney, Ridge, and even Jake, allows readers to see what makes each character different, what keeps them going, and just how much they truly care about one another. I don’t even know him, but there’s something calming about him that makes me want to tell him. But I don’t. I look at my hands, folded together in my lap. “You might not let me jump if I tell you.” I recommend it to anyone who wants a short, fun read from the queen, but you should start with Maybe someday. If you have read that and liked it, I definitely recommend this novella. Ridge and Sydney are thrilled to finally be together guilt-free. But as the two of them navigate this freedom, Warren and Bridgette's relationship is as tumultuous as ever, and Maggie grapples with her illness. 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 roll out of bed and scan the room. Ridge’s shirt is next to mine on the floor, so that means he’s still here. I’m a little nervous to walk out of my bedroom and see him. I don’t know why. Maybe because he’s my boyfriend now and I’ve barely had twelve hours to adjust to it all. It’s so…official. I have no idea what it will be like. What our lives together will be like. But it’s an excited nervous. He nods slowly. “What about the other part of the question? Medical conditions?” He waits for my answer, but I fail to give him anything other than a nervous pause. His eyes narrow and he leans forward a little bit more, eyeing me carefully. He’s looking at me like he’s trying to figure out answers to more than just what’s on the questionnaire he’s holding. “Is it terminal?” I even look at newborn babies and think of death. Knowing that I’ll never live to see a child of my own grow into adulthood has erased any desire to ever have a child. He shakes his head. The plane is booked for the rest of the afternoon. But I can put you on the schedule for my next day here. Warren and Bridgett start as roommates thrown in together unwillingly. Then things change between them. It’s hard to describe. Are they friends? Boyfriend/girlfriend? Is it just sex? Or is more brewing between them....

I know, I know!!! I’m the last person to finally read this one. I read Maybe Someday in 2013 and MAYBE NOT was released in 2014 and here it is almost 2017 and I’m finally reading this one. *hangs head in shame* 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. Maybe that’s where this new sense of peace comes from—the absence of all the guilt I’ve always felt in his presence. It was hard falling in love with someone who was committed to someone else. It was even harder trying to prevent it from happening. Maybe Someday is one of my favorite books, and I was expecting to love this. I don't want anyone to think I went into this with any kind of biased mindset. I am absolutely, without a doubt, so grateful for Hunter and Tori. I would live through the Tori/Hunter heartache a million times over if Ridge was always my final result.Ridge’s eyes shoot to mine, and he laughs a little, like my text was completely absurd. Then he leans forward and gives me the softest, sweetest kiss before replying. Fair enough. He pushes me a step forward, then intertwines his fingers with mine, spreading our arms out. This is it, Five Hundred. You ready? I’m kidding, he says. You looked so embarrassed after the first time you said it, I wanted to make you say it again. Too far? Naaaaah. It’s about the equivalent of how the “romance” in this book felt to me. Still, there’s something about Hoover’s writing that is kind of un-put-down-able even when I hate it and I didn’t hate this one nearly as much as Maybe Someday so it gets a bonus star.

He leans in even closer, looking at me with an expression full of sincerity. “What is it, then, Maggie Carson?”

New To CoHo?

I was twelve when I started to research my diagnosis. No one had ever really sat me down and explained to me that cystic fibrosis came with an expiration date. Not an expiration date on the illness, but an expiration date on my life. He leans in even closer, looking at me with an expression full of sincerity. What is it, then, Maggie Carson? Warren's thoughts and actions are NOT okay. In the beginning of the book he is constantly assuming that Bridgette wants things without her actually saying or doing anything to confirm it. I can't even list all the moments that prove my point or I'd just be re-posting the entire novel. Of course with a novella, the main challenge is being the relationship build-up and while I definitely wished for more (note: the book ends at 80% mark), CoHo still played out Warren & Bridgette's relationship with just the right pace without coming off completely rushed or unrealistic. There are times where it leaves you a little frustrated but sooner than later, you can't help but fall for these endearing characters.
