Maybe Not by Colleen Hoover

In this book set around the time before and during Sydney's arrival in their life and from Warren's perspective. Warren has just met Bridgette his fellow roommate who is very standoffish and infuriating for him to be around as he not only finds her incredibly hot, they're battling each other in a brutal prank war which results in their bad attitudes between themselves.

Bridgette is a strong female and has life experience that made her that way and she doesn't give in easy to Warren's pursuit of her yet pretty soon their attraction becomes heated and sexual and they can't turn away from it no more, the heart wants what it wants after all.

I really enjoyed knowing more about the two characters that were a big part of Maybe Someday and from Warren's perspective seeing he wasn't just playing with Bridgette after all but really deeply cared for her.


Losing Hope: A novel by Colleen Hoover

This is the same story as in Hopeless only from Holder's point of view on his sister's suicide and finding Hope.

As he writes letters to his sister in an old notebook of hers he documents life and his feelings day to day pretty much as he tries to understand what happened to his sister to cause her to commit suicide.

He also learns from a letter she left behind to him about the cause of her deep pain and how his family and his friend Hope fell apart for the one simple reason of a broken and selfish man.

This book is more around his sister's story and obviously his feelings as he meets Sky and understands Karen's role in her life over the years since she was taken. It was pain to see how much all the children and both families were broken by the events that took place but Sky and Holder in a way restore some Hope into their lives as a couple together, strong.

Once again it was a great and dramatic read with a fantastic plot full of twists! I loved Losing Hope and Hopeless and suggest you read them!

Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

Starting public school brings joy to sheltered homeschooled Sky, as she meets Breckin a gay wannabe Broadway star who's also adopted and she copes without best friend Six being around.

She doesn't bank on meeting Holder, a bad boy know for getting into fights who's lost his sister recently to suicide linked to her past, yet the two find a chance meeting changes both their lives for the worst and better.

Karen adopted Sky but all is not as it seems, as Sky and Holder get closer, Sky can't cope with her flashbacks and realises her life may just have been based on lies...

Yet again outstanding plot twists from Colleen with a dramatically heart breaking and mending detailed read about a tragedy with a partial resolution.

Too Late by Colleen Hoover

Sloan and Asa are a couple where it seems, he always needs sex. Sloan is trapped and has to rely on him and his money to help her but he sells drugs and has too many parties for her liking but he pays for her brother's special care.

In university Spanish class Carter and Sloan meet and go on a date but Asa has a tracker on Sloane unknown to her whilst sleeps with any girl uses them and calls them a whore in his mind after his father issues we learn about.

Asa is overprotective of Sloan being his property and is particular about the company he keeps. So much so he doesn't see Carter and Sloan becoming close as she grows more scared of Asa and his behaviour.

Then there's a huge twist ahead with Luke and Ryan who are undercover cops, Asa is onto them and plays on schizophrenia like his parents doing many pills and loving his coconut cake.

There is a shooting, very tense all through the last few chapters and two epilogues to finish an amazing book!

November 9 by Colleen Hoover

Two lives collide after a twist in their stories brain them to meet by chance one November 9th at a restaurant where eighteen year old Fallon is meeting her father and Ben sticks up for her despite being a stranger he fakes being her boyfriend on the night she's leaving to go live in New York.

They leave with a promise to her future self and future Ben that they meet up every November 9 until they are twenty three. Ben will write a book of their story while Fallon will grow her confidence in herself and date despite feeling less than perfect and not attractive because of her fire scars and pursue her acting on Broadway.

As their lives evolve many twists lie ahead for the two, from deaths, births, other Colleen Hoover book characters making appearances and their relationship reaching it's decision point.

The last few chapters though! This climax suddenly brings us full circle in another twist in the plot revealing many secrets which Fallon will be the decider over what happens next for the two.
