Dane is by and large the WORST hero I have ever had the (dis)pleasure to read about. There was nothing redeeming about him. He is a caveman who thinks he is God's gift to Earth and I just can't. Our first introduction to him meeting his "love" interest is by blowing a gasket and calling her "Hitler's spawn" and "Satan's spawn" because she dared to come to his university....and her father dared to run against his mother in the US presidential election. Um....what?? I mean, I get that your parents are rivals, but dude you don't even know the girl. Also very confusingly, Lucia has a huge crush on Dane and wants to "be his girl". WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BE THE GIRL OF SOMEONE WHO CALLS YOU SATAN'S SPAWN. HAVE SOME DIGNITY PLEASE.
Also, I get that this book was written in 2014, but there are some phrases that Dane uses that really should never, ever be said. "Chillax", "pocket rocket", and "hawt" being a few examples. Dane has an extremely overinflated view of himself, his politics, and his attractiveness. I'm not sure what kind of character the author was trying to write, but Dane is 100% a spoiled, selfish, extremely immature man-child and I....

can't.......

I definitely skimmed the majority of the book because I broke out in hives every time Dane had dialogue. And since he was one of the leads, that was an awful lot of hives. There may have been romance, but it totally went over my head because I have no idea how this guy even has friends, let alone girls who want to be romantically involved with him. This book could have been such a win for me....if only Dane wasn't in it.
The premise of this book is adorable, but I've seen mixed reviews. Crossing my fingers that this is winner!The premise of this book is adorable, but I've seen mixed reviews. Crossing my fingers that this is winner!...more
Ummmmm so this was awesomely trashy and I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT
The reason it didn't get 5 stars is because it had one of those annoying trop4 stars

The reason it didn't get 5 stars is because it had one of those annoying tropes where the stupid problem would be solved the the characters freaking TALKED to each other. Otherwise, it was awesome.
Sometimes in life, we need a few bad days in order to keep the good ones in
I could not put this book down. Colleen Hoover has a way with words,5 stars

I could not put this book down. Colleen Hoover has a way with words, and I was hooked. I started this book yesterday afternoon and read through the entire night. The struggles the characters face in this book are realistic, and I really appreciated that.
I LOVED the fact that Ridge was deaf. I am hard of hearing myself and I have to wear hearing aids, and it was wonderful to be able to truly understand and identify with a character. I kept saying "YES YES YES" whenever he described his frustrations with not being able to hear, or how rude people can be due to ignorance. Thank you, Ms. Hoover, for not romanticizing or downplaying what it is like to live life as HOH/deaf. Disabilities are not subjects that you see much in books of any genre, so I was thrilled when I found out that Maybe Someday had a character who was deaf.
THAT EPILOGUE! I have to admit it was probably one of my favorite scenes of the whole book. I ended up slightly teary and emotional by the end of it (that could also be because I am severely sleep deprived from staying up all night reading, but oh well).
Overall, a wonderful read! Now I'm off to listen to the songs.......more
