I have been binge reading all of Colleen's books lately, and I can say that I am so in love with Maybe Someday there were so many things that happened that I was not expecting and it made me ecstatic to read. I always love her books, and there is so many things that are brought to light that a lot of people don't ever think about, but Colleen's books really make you think about it. They push boundaries in the best possible ways!

Sydney; I think that she is one of my favorite characters that Colleen has written that I've read so far! I haven't read a bunch of Colleen's books (only the Never Never series, and the Hopeless series) She doesn't judge even in the slightest, she is so quick to be sure that Ridge isn't at fault. She would gladly take all the blame for everything than ever let him feel as though he's failed. She is strong and she is so selfless - Sydney is a strong woman and I admire that about her. She can love unconditionally, and she will always love unconditionally. It takes a lot to be in love with a person with a disability (I can speak from experience, my husband has epilepsy) and to overlook that disability and know there is so much more to them than a disability. I admire that about her because in that sense it really hit home for me, and I love knowing that it is possible for others to love people with disabilities to the fullest extent.

Ridge; he is a wonderful character, I admire his passion for music and I am so happy with his loyalty to his girlfriend regardless. I am proud of who Ridge is and what he stood for, he didn't let things get him down and he was willing to overcome all the hurdles in his life and that is truly beautiful to me. He didn't let things stop him from playing music didn't stop him from wanting to play the guitar. There was a lot of things that Ridge did that were courageous and I love him for that. I just wish that he was able to see past disabilities it's the saddest thing to know that relationships can't be saved because of an excuse of not being able to see someone for their worth and just seeing them as a disability and a need to save them.

Maggie; she is the sweetest character in this book I think. At first I really didn't like her because of the relationship she has with Ridge it and it made me really sad because naturally you root for Sydney. But once I met Maggie I fell in love with character she is the sweetest and she was definitely one of the characters that you couldn't not like. She was the most likeable character and I can't believe the life that she live - that's the roughest thing that I can think of, and I'm just pleased to know that she wanted to live the most of her life.

Warren and Bridgette; I really enjoyed both of their characters I think because Warren was just a sarcastic person and Bridgette was an obvious "B" word that it just made it that more comical when they were together and when they would speak with Sydney. For a while I did think that Warren was out of place when it came to being upset with Sydney. But when he became her best friend it was such an amazing thing to see him care about someone other than himself, his porn or Bridgette.

Overall - I fell in love with Maybe Someday and I hope that Maybe Not is just as good so that I can get a feel for so much of this story. I'm not quite ready for it to be over. This is definitely one of those novels that has touched every part of my heart, Colleen Hoover is slowly taking up all of my heart with all of the novels that I've been reading by her! I can't help but love her and the characters that she brings to life.
