Maybe Not (Maybe #1.5) by Colleen Hoover - Restarting November 3rd 2019

[Brittany]

Colleen Hoover, the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe Someday, brilliantly brings to life the story of the wonderfully hilarious and charismatic Warren in a new novella, Maybe Not.

When Warren has the opportunity to live with a female roommate, he instantly agrees. It could be an exciting change.

Or maybe not.

Especially when that roommate is the cold and seemingly calculating Bridgette. Tensions run high and tempers flare as the two can hardly stand to be in the same room together. But Warren has a theory about Bridgette: anyone who can hate with that much passion should also have the capability to love with that much passion. And he wants to be the one to test this theory.

Will Bridgette find it in herself to warm her heart to Warren and finally learn to love?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Chapter 1:

(view spoiler)[
So the 1st chapter totally dragged me in. After reading Maybe Someday, it is exactly what I was thinking it would be like. Fighting and bickering. Totally made me laugh out loud! (hide spoiler)]

[Tessa]

I do think the author is trying to put Bridgette in a more favorable light after everyone complained that she is a cliche.

Chapter 1-3: (view spoiler)[It's funny so far and I really like where this is going. I still don't think I like Bridgette, but I can't wait for the hot scenes to get even hotter XD. (hide spoiler)]

[Tessa]

A mod should move this topic to
"BUDDY READ:Contemporary/Romance"

Thank you! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Tessa, sorry, I didn't see the thread earlier ☺

[Emily Rabecca]

I am only on chapter 2 but I am really enjoying it! Warren is so funny!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

What do you think to this compared to the first book? I kinda liked this one better ☺

[Emily Rabecca]

Hmm I'm not sure i just read Maybe Someday last week and loved it. But I like seeing warren more, he is a lot different than Ridge.

[Emily Rabecca]

Do you like Bridgette?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I liked her more the further into the book I got, I felt like I knew her a bit more by the end. She's hiding a lot of secrets. There was definitely a lot more action in this one though, and no cheating!

Thanks for moving it. It was my first time making a buddy read so I wasn't sure how to do it :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Not a problem ☺

Chapter 4

(view spoiler)[ I can see where your coming from about Bridgette. I'm interested in hearing her story, learning why she is such a Bitch.
I'm definitely liking this book so far, her bitchiness and his games totally make me smile. Plus the sexual tension is building!!!! (hide spoiler)]

I agree!! He makes me laugh!!

[Brittany]

Finished

(view spoiler)[
I enjoyed this short read! Warren made me smile a ton throughout the book. It was more of an 'in the now' book. We learned about their pasts briefly but not in too much detail. I would have liked to learn a little bit more about them. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

I didn't like Bridgette at all in Maybe Someday. She was so ignorant

[Christina]

End of chapter 1 - (view spoiler)[Warren's all over Bridgette like a hungry wolf.
I still find the shared bathroom thing hilarious even in Maybe Someday. It's asking for all kinds of trouble (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 4 - (view spoiler)[Cue the delusion. Warren, seriously you think she's into you? Haha

And wow that was unexpected. Bridgette in a porn! No wonder Warren was having marathons in Maybe someday (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End of chapter 5- (view spoiler)[Whoa that was fast. Bridgettes such a control freak even in the bedroom. I still don't like how she's bipolar. Why does Warren even like her =_= (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Finished - (view spoiler)[In the end Warren just wanted to know what porn Bridgette starred in lol
It was good they finally went on a date for once (hide spoiler)]

[Tessa]

Wow, I'm so behind, but I also finished the books today :D .

"I am only on chapter 2 but I am really enjoying it! Warren is so funny!"
Yes, I liked Warren a lot :D .

"What do you think to this compared to the first book? I kinda liked this one better "
It was better because it was shorter. Stories like these don't deserve so much drama. If all this author's books would be this short she would be a 5 star author for me XD.


"I liked her more the further into the book I got, I felt like I knew her a bit more by the end. "
Felt the same way about Bridgette, Sarah. Still, she's not getting into my top characters list XD.

"I would have liked to learn a little bit more about them "
I felt the same way, but overall I enjoyed this :) .

"I didn't like Bridgette at all in Maybe Someday. She was so ignorant"
It's not that she was less ignorant here, just the story focused more on her so you got to overlook it XD.

(view spoiler)[
"Bridgette in a porn! No wonder Warren was having marathons in Maybe someday "
That explained a lot XDD.

"Why does Warren even like her "
No ideea, but the sex was nice XD.
(hide spoiler)]

Overall it was a nice hot read :D .

(view spoiler)[I know! It’s crazy! In Maybe Someday, I thought he was just a horndog lol. It’s cool to learn the reason behind why he was watching a lot of porn. 😂😂 (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

Warren: (view spoiler)[I mentioned this in my last comment, but it was cool to finally learn why he was watching so much porn. It redeemed his character that he wasn’t completely a major horndog. Lol
It was so cool reading in his POV. I loved that he is so family oriented! In Maybe Someday, his character didn’t come across in a good way, so I liked reading another side to his character. Also.. omg those sex scenes. Good for you Bridgette, good for you. Lol (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

Bridgette: (view spoiler)[I always like reading from another character’s POV. It shows that there is more to someone that you may have first realized. Even though she definitely has her b*tchy moments, it was nice knowing that she at least had a reason for being so closed off. (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Ah! I love the last few lines of this story! It was so cute. All he wanted was to know the name of the porn Bridgette was in. Hahaha “ or Maybe Not.” 😂 (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Jacquelyn wrote: "Warren: I co..."

(view spoiler)[ I liked seeing that that was why Warren watched so much porn as well. I forget that part of Maybe someday. I did really enjoy seeing things from his perspective though as there was more to him then just wanting sex. I loved how infatuated he was with Bridgette and her walls didn't deter him, they made him want to break them down even further. (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Jacquelyn wrote: "Bridgette: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I loved seeing the other side of Bridgette and why she was so guarded and bitchy. I like seeing those walls be broken down. I thought it was cute how she was actually jealous of Warren and Sydney. I don't remember that scene in maybe someday, I definitely want to reread! (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Jacquelyn wrote: "Finished: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yes that was cute, I love seeing why books are called what they are. I think Colleen Hoover does that a lot in her books, the title is mentioned in someway and it always has a cute meaning behind it. (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Brennan (view spoiler)[ It was nice to see how much he felt for Bridgette and he hoped she had answers about knowing who her real father was. I liked how when he turned out not to be her brother, how much Warren comforted her and said he would be a shit Dad anyway etc. (hide spoiler)]
