I really wanted to love this but the first half of the book was so fucking frustrating. They go back and forth and GOD the miscommunication just about killed me. It's like the author just wanted to create more angst, so Rain makes the decision to lie and stay away from River, but god forbid he actually does because he seeks him out and they hook up all the time bc they're horny fuckers and they have multiple, repetitive toxic fight about their toxic relationship like a never-ending cycle of toxicity...more

Firstly, even though the author wanted to be vague about the TWs because they're "spoiler-y", I don't think she should have Follow the River ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Firstly, even though the author wanted to be vague about the TWs because they're "spoiler-y", I don't think she should have taken away that choice from the readers. She could have put a detailed list on the last page and warned readers to check them out at their own risk of getting spoiled. Because I think mental health matters WAY more than not getting spoiled for a book that can be VERY triggering for some people. I personally wouldn't advise going in blind if you have any doubts about the vague as fuck trigger warning.

Moving on, in the first half of the book I felt indifferent towards the MCs and a little put-off by their interactions and the development of their "relationship". First, there was this "insta-love" connection about them, and then in the second half of the book the writing was so dramatic about how the two of them together was "fate" and that they were "soulmates". Usually, I gobble that shit up, but in this case it was just a lot of telling instead of showing in regards to the writing. Miss author, you cannot convince me someone has inner monologue spewing shit like that...more

I wish it ended with her dying and Logan heartbroken and don’t get me started on the epilogue-
Sometimes, books should just have sad endings. I think it would be more fitting for this series, I just don’t see how giving a depressing story a good ending will be realistic enough for me. I read books that aren’t realistic for escapism, but I still feel some books should stick to the story and not miraculously end up with a happy ending. ...more

Argh, I have mixed feelings. I felt so disconnected from the characters and the story but I also really enjoyed reading it???
I don’t know, but the third part (present time) was not as good as the second part (fifteen years ago) because the story was so fucking rushed and there was so many time skips. Everything was a little too convenient and we didn’t really get to know you-know-which-character in depth. Also, we didn’t get a lot on their new character dynamic and I felt that something was missing from the book.

Review: No because this book hurt me, despite having a happy ending. I love their friendship, I love their relationship, I love the dynamic between them! They are perfect. My new fave ship has arrived, and its called Alex-and-Poppy-forever.
I could NOT with all the Norway talk in this book, I swear to god Norwegians are too full of pride when it comes to our country- when it's just mentioned and you go all "omg that's my country" and blahblahblah.
Anyways, this book hurt to read because they were both sad about not being together, and the fact that they weren't for 10 years- my heart can't take it, not today....more

I feel like what I’m about to say is “somewhat” controversial, so remember that this is how I interpreted the book and my own opinion, though feel free to share your own in the comment section <3
This book killed me but I’m back from the dead to write this review. These are my thoughts presented in a chaotic mess, as always:
It was extremely easy to judge Hunter and Tori in the beginning of the book, but when the main characters turned into the people they originally despised I didn’t judge them…? Who am I and why did I not feel the second-hand guilt?
In the first half, Warren was biased, and he should have seen the case from both sides. Though that was difficult because he’s Ridge’s best friend. But it was annoying as h*ll, but excusable.
I’ve read people say that Sydney is annoying, but I don’t agree. Her actions are normal considering the circumstances, though some of them might not be easy to justify. But love is a complicated thing, especially when both sides are toeing the same line. She isn’t responsible for Ridge’s actions that he carried out based off of his feelings. She is however responsible for all she decided to do.
This book is the definition of right-person-wrong-time, just look at the fu*king title: Maybe Someday.
“His eyes study mine for several moments, and the way he’s looking at me makes me hate myself, because I love it so much.”
I- anyways-
Moreover, not me coming to the realization that I’m reading romance for the emotional trauma so I can feel something, and not only for the romance…
I either complain about not connecting with the characters, or I’m too emotionally invested. Because I should be concerned about me sobbing at 3 am staring at 26 letters stocked differently…right?
When I’m reading I’m either looking at it from the outside, like watching a movie, or experiencing it. That means I’m feeling what the characters feel, I’m so invested that I forget I exist. And this happened wile reading this book, so imagine all the heartbreak I’m going through when I haven’t even been in a real relationship myself. It’s overwhelming, to say the least-
Update: I thought the songs weren't there but they actually are and that made me so happy! So go check out Griffin Peterson right now!...more

Rewiev: I loved the writing style, it was easy to read and flowed like water, almost like breathing.
”I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell, I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”
I thought I’d get bored easily and that I had to force myself to read it because everyone seemed to love it. But then it was actually so good and I couldn’t stop reading.
”He is half of my soul, as the poets say.”
They both committed actions that could have been prevented, but they were cute so I didn’t really care. But the more I read the less respect I had for them.
