Ridge Lawson is her neighbour, and although they haven't spoken yet, they do share a unique bond. Everyday when Ridge plays his guitar out on his balcony, Sydney cannot help but be magnetized to his tunes. As a music fanatic and aspiring musician herself, she is drawn to him, but until now, she never had to chance to tell him how beautiful his music is.

Ridge is one half of a band, and as the songwriter and music extraordinaire, a lot of the band's pressure sits on his shoulders. He is unable to be inspired by anything lately, but he unexpectedly finds his muse in Sydney. This begins a complicated romance that will have readers pining for a happily-ever-after.

Colleen Hoover infuses MAYBE SOMEDAY with her trademark charm and a good boy hero. Ridge has a secret that is revealed fairly early on in the story, but it will ultimately change the way you see him. I am still not fully sold on this, because it makes believing him as a musician a little more difficult. However, Hoover works on that authenticity for the whole book and achieves a good result.

The book begins with Sydney punching her roommate in the face for her betrayal, and as you can expect, much of this book involves cheating. However, it isn't all physical. I find that the emotional cheating was a little more hard to deal with and prevented me from really investing in Ridge and Sydney's romance. Yet, Hoover wields her magic and somehow makes it work.

Though different from Hoover's usual style, MAYBE SOMEDAY is a refreshing take on the forbidden romance.
