More Than Maybe: A Novel

"Like your favorite song, More Than Maybe burrows inside your heart and stays there. Vada and Luke's story of music, family, and first love will shoot to the top of your book playlist. A rich, sweet, rock and roll ride." - Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces and How to Make Friends With the Dark
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?
In More Than Maybe, Erin Hahn’s swooniest book yet, Luke and Vada must decide how deep their feelings run and what it would mean to give love a try.

Vada has a five year plan that will lead her to securing a career as a music journalist. She’s already checked a few off the list but when she finds herself collaborating with Luke Greenly her world changes. She’s had a crush on Luke since discovering the podcast he hosts with his twin brother and when he starts working at the Loud Lizard with her she gets the opportunity to know him on a much deeper more personal level. When she hears him singing a song on his podcast she starts to wonder if it could possibly be about her. I enjoyed Vada’s go getter lifestyle. She knows what she wants and doesn’t let anyone get in her way, not even her alcoholic father who seems to turn up at the most inopportune times.
Luke doesn’t like the lime-light but when his twin brother releases a song on the podcast he shares he starts getting attention he’s been so focused on trying to avoid. Now everyone is wondering who he’s written the song about. He’s had a crush on Vada since discovering her blog and has fallen for her even more after working with her at the Loud Lizard. He doesn’t need the job but it gives him something to do and he has the opportunity to get to know Vada on a deeper level. I thought Luke was so adorable. I fell in love with this sensitive song writer. I hope you will too!
Luke and Vada balance each other out in this fun YA contemporary. Hahn includes so many great music references to help the relationship between Luke and Vada along. If you love a good romance than you’ll enjoy this one!!
