SYNOPSIS

Colleen Hoover, the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe Someday, brilliantly brings to life the story of the hilarious and charismatic Warren in this new novella.

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.

MY REVIEW

Here is another review by Colleen Hoover (I know I'm obsessed with her). This short novel is the story of Warren and Bridgette, who both were characters in Maybe Someday. It is hard for me to review this book since it's really short and the development was kind of predictable. Although, what I can point out is how hilarious both Bridgette and Warren are. She is rude, mean, stubborn and cold. She is also fragile, shy, scared and soft. I loved everything about her. Warren is really a dude. That's the word for him. A dude with a soft heart.

"Why does she have to be so mean? Mean girls are my weakness, and I think I just figured that out." - Warren

I think this quote best describes both Warren and Bridgette. The more she is mean to him, the more they are attracted from each other. The more she tries to stay away from him, the weakest he is. Whenever Bridgette opens a door, Warren makes sure it never closes again. 

This novella was simple and sweet. I can't however put it on the same level as Hoover's other books, but it wraps up well the story of Maybe Someday. I recommend to read it, it takes two hours and it will make you smile for the rest of the day.

Thumbs up !
