There are some things you worry about. And then there are some things you don't worry about. You don't worry about them because they're too awful to contemplate worrying about. What I did enjoy about this novel is Zoe's humour towards most things. This is probably the only reason that I kept reading, because it made most things bearable. The memorial service is the most well done part of the story. It's described lovely and very realistic, I felt as if I was right there beside Zoe and her family. I was actually close to shedding a tear at this part. Bu türde fazla kitap okuduysanız sizi etkilemeyecektir. Şahsen okurken gözlerim bir kere bile dolmadı. Ama verdiği his, duygu bu yönünün açıklığını biraz kapattı. Öneririm fakat sizi hüngür hüngür ağlatacak bir kitap beklemeyin.

I feel bad giving this one a two stars especially because I love this authors usual work and The comfort food cafe is one of if not my favourite chic lit series but unfortunately this book did absolutely nothing for me. I did shed a few tears while reading this one, but as I said at the beginning, it was exactly the book I needed to read at the time I read it. Maybe One Day is only the second "cancer book" I've read but, just like The Fault in Our Stars, it made me tear up. Only, unlike Green's renown novel, Kantor's latest is a little less humorous, a little less romantic, and has a little less to take away from it too. Where Maybe One Day excels is in its portrayal of friendship. Olivia and Zoe, two high school juniors, have been best friends since the age of four. Ever since they met in dance class, they've had the type of friendship most people only dream of or witness in the movies. Thus, when Olivia is diagnosed with leukemia, Zoe is devastated.As friends, Zoe and Olivia had chemistry. They were very supportive of each other, and pushed the other to try their best, fight and to be strong. They brought out the best in each other, and I enjoyed scenes with them together (mostly). One Day” is Tate McRae’s debut single, posted to YouTube on October 20th, 2017. In the song, Tate speaks about unrequited love and the inner thoughts of a girl and a guy pining over each other.

Not: Bu arada kitabın adını çok sevdim. 'Belki Bir Gün'. İçeriğe oldukça uyumlu olmuş hem de umut aşılayan bir yönü var. Maybe One Day starts off with a lot of info-dumping which was strike one for me. I cannot stand it when authors shove a bunch of information in the first few chapters and then expect readers to remember it when it actually comes into play. I read about four books at a time. Hell no do I have time to remember that shit. I also found the writing to be a bit stiff and awkward exactly like how I felt towards the romance. It's all contrived and rushed and just thrown together because this is a YA novel and romance is needed no matter what. On top of all that, the characters are choppy and annoying. Zoe is so very self-centred and mean, she does nothing but think about herself and how Olivia dying will affect her life and her plans. I couldn't stand her and her pettiness. Your best friend is dying, console her and her family along with yourself. There's a . . . I mean, there has to be some mistake. How could you be getting medicine already?" Somehow that was the most implausible part of what she'd told me. I'd slept at her house Saturday night. She'd been fine. I'd talked to her this morning. Eight hours later she was in the hospital and getting medicine? How could they even diagnose what she had that fast? Using Joe's cards and letters Jess, her cousin Michael, and one of Joe's friends Belinda travel from place to place, piecing together Joe's life and the people he met along the way. Maybe it was the writing style. Maybe it was the heroine. But something about the book just felt so flat and without any personality. Or maybe that it was more of a telling than showing kind of book. The point is, it didn't make me cry as much as I wanted to, or made me want to spend more time with my friends or family and things like that. It was just so plain for me.

Release

The audiobook was wonderful and the narration by Laura Kirman was truly a treat. She gave such an emotional performance, making me tear up one moment and then burst out laughing the next. I did have problems at times understanding the different accents, but she really did such a fantastic job. However, I felt that so much more could have been done with Maybe One Day. Zoe's relationship with dance, Olivia's religious parents, and Zoe's attraction to Calvin all could have improved with more development. Perhaps Kantor could have spent more time showing Zoe rekindling her passion for dance, or maybe she could have created more room for conversation between Zoe and Calvin about how they felt regarding Olivia's illness or their emotions for one another in general. The concept of God came into the story a few times, but it felt as if Kantor dropped it in to make us think just a little bit, instead of developing the idea of religion as a solid theme in the book. The writing, while nice and non-distracting, did not convey the emotional depth of the characters well enough for me to genuinely care about them. I liked Maybe One Day. Melissa Kantor wrote Zoe and Olivia's friendship with honesty and emotion, and I came close to tearing up once while reading the book. She did a good job of portraying Olivia's battle with leukemia by incorporating just the right amount of detail, and Zoe's voice stayed consistent throughout the story.

Holy broken heart batman! There are very few books out there that can make me have the ugly cry moment and this one has made the list. I cried three, yes, THREE, times reading this…IN PUBLIC! But seriously Maybe One Day may be one of the best friendship stories I have ever read and it was worth all the public humiliation. As my friend Jenni's DNF review already pointed out, the cancer stuff is totally off base. Zoe doesn't know what leukemia is, but does understand the meaning of both cardiology and oncology. As she heads to the hospital to visit Olivia, she does a grand jete on her way, because she's so sad she has time for ballet. She wishes that Olivia's brother Jake, who she actually likes, were the one dying of cancer instead. There are some things you worry about. And then there are some things you don't worry about. You don't worry about them because they're too awful to contemplate worrying about.”Where to start? First, while I really enjoyed this, it is not your typical Debbie Johnson novel which really threw me because I kept expecting the novel to be something it isn't. Have you ever read a book that was completely addicting, really moving (enough to make you cry), and in the end, still had no idea how to rate it?
