Maybe Someday

"Maybe Someday" blev min yndlingsbog tilbage i februar 2015, da jeg læste den for første gang. Jeg har netop genlæst den igen, og den gør det samme ved mig. Simpelthen en helt fantastisk, varm og rørende fortælling. Jeg kan ikke anbefale den nok.

Dejlig bog, slugte den hele på under 24 timers. Hoover er kommet på min topliste. Hendes bøger er søde, fulde af humor, kærlighed og venskab. Er hel vild med de skiftende povs, selvom Sylvia Day havde ødelagt det for mig med den fjerde bog i crossfire serien. Denne bog fortæller historien om 22 årige Sydney, der opdager at kæresten igennem to år er i hende utro med bedste veninden (som desværre også er hendes sambo). Hun får hjælp af Ridge, der bor i lejlighederne overfor. Ridge er guitaristen, som hun til dagligt høre spille ud på sin altan og muligvis personen, der kan få hendes hjerte til at hele igen. Hun flytter i hvert fald ind hos ham og skaber et par rimelig underholdende venskaber. Bogen er fuld med humoristiske og akavede scener, og musik spiller en kæmpe rolle i historien. Vil helt klart anbefale denne bog og andre af Hoover - jeg skal selv i gang med min tredje!

“Sometimes in life, we need a few bad days in order to keep the good ones in perspective.” 'Maybe Someday' var en virkelig sød bog, der gjorde lige præcis dét, Hoovers bøger normalt gør: trykker på alle de rigtige knapper. Denne bog er, på trods af en smule drama hist og her, en af Hoovers mindst sørgelige bøger - som jeg har læst i hvert fald. Som regel sørger Hoover for, at jeg får tårer i øjnene et par gange, men igennem denne havde jeg faktisk et lille fjollet smil klistret på det meste af tiden. Vi føler skiftevis Ridge og Sydney der virkelig er nogle interessante, søde og talentfulde karakterer. Ak, vi snakker selvfølgelig om unge mennesker, så der bliver truffet en del dårlige beslutninger, hvor nogle er dummere end andre og til tider stødte jeg også ind i lidt unødvendig drama, som jeg godt kunne have undværet. Ikke desto mindre skinnede kemien imellem de to hovedpersoner virkelig igennem og til tider var jeg nervøs for at der gik ild i bogen, med alle de gnister der var imellem dem! Derudover elskede jeg, at der var gjort så meget ud af musikdelen i bogen. En ting er at kradse nogle tekster ned hist og her, men her er de gået hele vejen og har fået udgivet alle sangene der er i bogen. Det var noget jeg virkelig nød under læsningen, at jeg lige kunne få en melodi på de tekster og Griffin Petersons stemme er jo absolut skøn - virkelig en lækker detalje, der gjorde læseoplevelsen endnu mere gennemført og fin! "For her I bend, for you I break." Den eneste grund til at denne bog ikke får fuldt hus i stjerneafdelingen, er at jeg manglede lidt closure og svar for nogle af bipersonerne, samt den unødvendige drama nævnt før. Det er dog uden tvivl endnu en skøn bog fra Hoovers side!

Meget sød, sjov og medrivende. Historien blev lidt langtrukken og kørte lidt i ring, men det var en god historie og man kunne ikke andet end at blive forelsket i personerne.

Det bliver lige en anmeldelse på engelsk:  What did I just READ?!! That was brilliant, BRILLIANT! Just when you thought Colleen Hoover couldn't get any better, because she's already perfect, she writes this book and blows every other book and every other author so far away that there is no way I'm ever going to enjoy any other book after this. I'm ruined! First of all I have a couple of things I need to say to my mailman: I hate you! aaaand I freaking love you! I love you for bringing this book to me so fast considering I practically live on another planet (at least as far as Amazon is concerned), but I also really really hate you for brining this book to me so fast. I mean, I had plans, things that needed to be done today, but then you knock on my door all innocently, holding this book in your hand, like you aren't about to change my LIFE! You suck! Sort of ... I guess it's really me that sucks.  You see, I am WEAK when it comes to Colleen Hoover books.  I got the book, started screaming, squealing, crying, jumping up and down and clapping my hands like a mad person .. then I put it on my table and told myself You can wait - It's just a book, it's not as important as studying. HA! LIES! I tried ignoring it for a couple of minutes but it was impossible, so I told myself Okay, it's okay. You can read a couple of chapters and then you need to put it DOWN. HA! More lies. I ended up not moving from the couch for 10 hours straight - I barely had time for bathroom breaks, and whenever my boyfriend tried to talk to me I was like description So people, BE WARNED! Don't start this book if you don't have time to read it in one sitting, because it is impossible to put down.  Before I say anything about the story, I have to praise that cover. IT. IS. FREAKING. BEAUTIFUL! I love how the cover says SO much about the story and I just generally love pretty covers, so bonus points for that.  The story is about Sydney Blake who lives a good life. She has her boyfriend, her best friend/roomie and a nice job. Then, she "meets" Ridge Lawson and when he tells her that her boyfriend is cheating on her, her world is turned upside down.  She ends up staying at Ridge's apartment and together they create beautiful music together. Feelings begin to develop between them and lines are blurred.  Normally I would go on and comment on the characters and the story individually, but I can't with this book because the characters and the story are so intertwined that it feels unnatural to separate them.  Everything in this book was .. beautiful. I really think that is the best word for it. All of it touched me deeply and I actually began to truly care for this book and these people. Before I began reading I was a bit worried about the fact that this book is about a love-triangle (even though I really think that is the wrong word for it), because I hate love-triangles. But then I considered the author and shoved all my worries into a little box and threw it away, because I just knew that if anyone could make me appreciate love-triangles, it would be Colleen Hoover. And she did. This wasn't a book about a guy who just wants too much and what he can't have.  No, this was a really heartfelt story about how what the heart wants is sometimes different than what reality can offer. It was about all the nuances of grey that we often can't control even though we try because the heart has a mind of its own.  It was a beautiful story all on its own, but the characters made it an amazing story! I quickly came to care for Sydney, Ridge, Maggie and the other characters. All of them were so well-rounded and felt so real! I felt like every little detail about the characters and the story was so well thought-out. Nothing felt random, everything and everyone had a past and a story.  And Ridge, he felt the most real to me. Ridge isn't you typical hero crush. He is described as being good-looking, but it's only a brief comment and nowhere near the main focus. And he is actually a really good guy with a good heart and soul, and it made me love him so much. But what made him come to life, was the fact that he was deaf. I am really ashamed to admit that at first when I read that he was deaf, I was like 'no that can't be right, that's too big of a flaw for the main character'. Yes, like I said ASHAMED! Being deaf is NOT a flaw, and it's not what I think at all, but in NA and YA the main male character just tends to be without any kind of flaw - they are even a bit too perfect. So I was completely floored by the fact that the male 'hero' was deaf. But him being deaf just gave so much more to the story. I loved how he reacted differently to people because he couldn't hear them, so often he had to feel them, and I love how real he became just because he had that one very human quality.  Another thing about the book that needs to be praised is of course the music. I can't even tell you how brilliant it is to be able to read the lyrics and listen to the songs while reading - it's an experience!  And I just loooove Griffin. His songs are amazing and his voice is just yum!  So to sum up: This book is a masterpiece! I loved it so much and I feel like it just turned my world upside down. This is the kind of book I live and breathe for. Books are meant to be powerful, books are meant to change the world, and of course they are meant to entertain, and Maybe Someday did all of that and more.
