Maybe This Time

by Kasie West

Beloved author Kasie West brings her signature witty banter and rom-com fun to a bold, fresh format. Think Four Weddings and a Funeral for YA.

One year. Nine events. Nine chances to . . . fall in love?

Weddings. Funerals. Barbecues. New Year's Eve parties. Name the occasion, and Sophie Evans will be there. Well, she has to be there. Sophie works for the local florist, so she can be found at every big event in her small hometown, arranging bouquets and managing family dramas.

Enter Andrew Hart. The son of the fancy new chef in town, Andrew is suddenly required to attend all the same events as Sophie. Entitled, arrogant, preppy Andrew. Sophie just wants to get her job done and finish up her sketches so she can apply to design school. But every time she turns around, there is Andrew, getting in her way and making her life more complicated. Until one day she wonders if maybe complicated isn't so bad after all . . .

Told over the course of one year and following Sophie from event to event, this delightful novel from master of romantic comedy Kasie West shows how love can blossom in unexpected places.

It’s hard to rate a Kasie West book because they’re all cute, quick and sweet. Some are more witty. Some have less interesting (almost annoying) characters. Some of them are really GOOD. And a lot of them are, “yeah it was a Kasie West book” which says enough.

This was a Kasie West book. The flower theme was a pleasant thread and the story worked pretty well even broken into segments. I really liked the friendships at the core of the story - it felt like it gave everything some substance and they were genuine and organic and witty. It captures something really authentic about being young. I think the friendships are what set this, not at the top, but in some ways I enjoyed it more than other recent Kasie West books.
