Someday Maybe

Definitely Maybe Series- Book 2

By Ophelia London2cb3f-add-to-goodreads-button

Synopsis

A new adult title from Entangled’s Embrace imprint…

Some guys are impossible to forget.

Rachel Daughtry has a 10-year plan that leaves no room for mistakes. Or not-so-serious boys–including Oliver Wentworth, the freshman boyfriend she’s never forgotten. Now she’s back in San Francisco with an awesome-slash-scary new job. Unfortunately, The Plan doesn’t cover things like meeting her best friend’s new “secret” guy…Oliver.

Fortunately, no one knows that Rachel and Oliver were ever together, and endless bikini wax torture couldn’t make Rachel hurt her friend. But it’s killing Rachel. She’s not over him. Not even a little. And as her 10-year-plan crumbles around her, Rachel realizes that maybe–just maybe–Oliver feels the same way.

Now Rachel is on the verge of losing all control. And her best friend. And the love of her life…

Tina’s Review

Rachel Daughtry is serious about her goals, she has a plan. A 10-year plan. But before that, she has one last day to have a “normal teenager” experience before she begins her college education at University of San Francisco.
Oliver Wentworth happens upon Rachel the day before school starts and they form an instant bond and have a mutual attraction. He wants more but she’s always hiding from her brother, who just so happens to be the president of the student body.
Six years later, they meet again but things are… complicated.

This story can be read as a stand-alone book.
The story opens up on the day before Freshman year at USF. Chapter Two jumps ahead to “Six Years Later…”. For a while, it sort of teeter-totters from past to present as the story unfolds making it a little difficult to connect to the characters. When it finally settles into present day formatting, the main characters are college graduates with careers or pending careers, mid/upper-twenties and relatively spot-on maturity-wise, except for Megan. But, I guess every group of friends has to have one that’s more flighty, immature and slightly annoying. Sarah was more mature. Rachel is a decent heroine, but her fears and insecurities have to be battled. Oliver is a strong, stable hero. The plot moves along at a steady pace & flows more smoothly after the flashing back is over with. There’s minimal conflict with satisfactory resolve. Minor predictability. Overall, a nice story about love, second chances and forgiveness. Finding your place in the world doesn’t always go according to plan.
