Maybe Now is such a great follow-up to Maybe Someday, and I loved spending time with Sydney and Ridge, Maggie, Bridgette and Warren again. Hoover always manages to grab me and deposit me into her stories, and that was definitely the case here.
I laughed, I cried, I cringed (thanks, Bridgette and Warren!)...
Most of the chapters were from Ridge, Sydney or Maggie's point of view, and I loved how they worked out all their differences and past mistakes. Seeing their inner thoughts also made me understand them all so well - and that's always a plus in my opinion.
The characters are relatable - even the ones that I don't necessarily love as much as the others, so it felt like spending some time with good friends. With all the joys and hassles that can bring.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first but i like how transparent, honest & understanding they all are with eachother and when things get tough the unlikely friendships happen like sydney and bridgette.
I enjoyed learning about maggie , her past and present and learning to love someone who wants her for her and not just her illness. Jake is the perfect match for her , he taught her she still is living and to love her life in the present.
I also liked this quote "If you aren't living your best life for you self you can't be ur best self for those in your life "- Sydney.
