Maybe Someday
Colleen Hoover's Maybe Someday is one of her most musically ambitious novels, originally published with a companion album of original songs co written with musician Griffin Peterson. Sydney Blake is a college senior who comes home one afternoon to find that her best friend Tori has been sleeping with her live in boyfriend Hunter, and she ends up sitting on the curb outside her apartment building with no plan for the night. Her quiet musician neighbor across the courtyard, Ridge Lawson, has been the soundtrack to her life for months without her knowing it, and he invites her in. The two of them slowly discover that they make remarkable songs together, that Ridge is deaf and reads her face the way other people read voices, and that he has a girlfriend named Maggie whom he loves and refuses to leave. Hoover writes the novel as a slow, ethically thorny love story about two adults trying to do the right thing while creating music that demands they keep meeting.
