Maybe This Time is about a girl named Sophie who works for the local florist, attending events and arranging bouquets. At a valentine's event she meets Andrew- son a famous new chef in town and required at all the events Sophie has to be at. They have a rough first meeting and Sophie thinks he is arrogant and entitled and Andrew thinks she's a snob. At every event throughout the year, they keep getting in each other's way until eventually, they end up becoming friends and then maybe something more.

After [b:P.S. I Like You|25486998|P.S. I Like You|Kasie West|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442247987l/25486998._SX50_.jpg|45261093] became my number #1 Kasie book, I didn't think another one would dethrone it so soon but here we are. This book was just everything I wanted and everything I needed right now. It has the classic Kasie West wholesomeness and just all around cute but without being shallow or childish. I don't mind high school romances but this one not taking place in high school was really nice.

This entire book is told from event to event in snapshots and I loved that so much. Instead of getting filler, it gets right to the good stuff. Also I was weirdly into seeing all the different events and how they were run behind the scenes... don't @ me. This relationship is hate to love and watching them become friends (slowly) into romance was pure. Plus so freaking adorable. They only see each other during the events so all the development between them happens purely at the events, throughout the entire year. They were honestly just so good together and I really loved them, even (especially) when they were bitching at each other.

Sophie's friend Micah has a large part in this too and I loved their strong friendship that had drama but it was actual necessary drama and not some petty pointless drama. Sophie's relationship with her family was pretty complicated too. While everything is fluffy and cute, some serious topics are still put into play but I like how it doesn't go too hard, just hard enough.

Plus FLOWERS. So many flowers! Love that! I'm so glad that I loved this one because I was worried after I wasn't the hugest fan of her last book but Kasie West has yet again blown me away with the cuteness.

Highly recommend this great romcom.
