My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Growing up under his
punk rocker dad's spotlight, eighteen-year-old Luke Greenly knows fame
and wants nothing to do with it. His real love isn't in front of a
crowd, it's on the page. Hiding his gift and secretly hoarding songs in
his bedroom at night, he prefers the anonymous comfort of the locally
popular podcast he co-hosts with his outgoing and meddling,
far-too-jealousy-inspiringly-happy-with-his-long-term-boyfriend twin
brother, Cullen. But that’s not Luke’s only secret. He also has a major
un-requited crush on music blogger, Vada Carsewell.
Vada's got a
five year plan: secure a job at the Loud Lizard to learn from local
legend (and her mom's boyfriend) Phil Josephs (check), take over Phil's
music blog (double check), get accepted into Berkeley's prestigious
music journalism program (check, check, check), manage Ann Arbor's
summer concert series and secure a Rolling Stone internship. Luke
Greenly is most definitely NOT on the list. So what if his
self-deprecating charm and out-of-this-world music knowledge makes her
dizzy? Or his brother just released a bootleg recording of Luke singing
about some mystery girl on their podcast and she really, really wishes
it was her?
More Than Maybe started as a cute YA story about music. However, it became more than that with each chapter. It is a very sweet and funny story about love and family.
Vada was
a unique character, and so was Luke. They were super cute individually (oh, to feel in love like a teenager) but they are even cuter together. I loved the way their feelings and thoughts are described. The other characters were really cool as well, like Meg, Cullen, Zach, and Phil.
I like the romantic part, it wasn’t too much and the story combined it perfectly with a bit of drama, fun, and music.
The music component was awesome, and I loved listening to the playlist while reading, it added to the story.
I thought this book would be OK and it sounded interesting so I wanted to give it a try but the truth is I liked it A LOT. It positively surprised me and I am pretty sure it will be in my top reads for 2020.
