A review by lemongirlandyou
Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover
1.0
(No spoilers but bordering on)
It’s a book you love or hate and I hated it.
FirstlyI’ll start off with what I liked;
The format for one it set off with the drama and then went back in time working up till the event and then carried on from there as normal which was fun and different.
I liked how obviously in every book you don’t have to agree with the protagonist, but in this book I just really didn’t like the two mains.
I also liked how there was album to go along with the book, it made it more enjoyable.
The multiple POVs was also nice to read, always good to see two sides of the story.
For what I didn’t like;
None of the characters were making choices I would stand behind, it must have been a sign of the times for 2014.
The cheating trope is just awful, I feel so icky the whole way through, I was constantly putting myself in the other persons shoes and It was a horrible time.
The use of “slut” “bitch” “whore” or just slut shaming (women hating on women) in a written by a man tone, again very much 2014. Also shaming women for getting work done (plastic surgery), not what I wanna be reading tbh.
I don’t like how they all claim to be innocent and morally correct the whole way through, until shit hits the fan but then the characters feel justified again and it felt sour and to give the story and happy ending when it was awful what happened,
I never shipped the characters together. That’s a main part of reading a romance book: rooting for the couple, and I never did, but at the same time they were both bad so ultimately they kinda deserved each other.
Also EVERY character hated this one girl who I thought was the only reasonable one. Like putting myself in that girls shoes i’d feel the same way. Justice for her because she was my favourite. (Bridgett)
That’s about it, kinda a waste of my reading time if I’m honest. But if you like it or if it’s something you think you’d like then good for you, hope you have fun x
