Just Maybe is a great, clean, contemporary work of fiction. This is the third book in the Home in You series. I saw an underlying theme of redemption in this book. Both Quinn and Cooper have to face redemption in their own lives and I think that they are their own biggest stumbling blocks.
Quinn is a journalist for a struggling magazine. She wants nothing more than to land the big story that will prove she is worthy of the editor's position so that she can revitalize the magazine and protect her jobs of her co-workers. She is assigned the impossible task of getting an interview with Cooper Anderson, the Top Entrepreneur of the Year, a man who refuses all interviews. In fact, he despises journalists.
Through a misunderstanding, Quinn finds herself in a position to get the story she needs but under false pretenses. Cooper begins to see Quinn as indispensable. Quinn quickly discovers that returning to her home town is much more difficult than expected.
The hardest part for me was reading about the character with Alzheimer's. I lost my grandma to dementia far sooner than we lost her to death. It is such a painful experience to watch a loved one start to forget. I definitely experienced my share of some of the moments of confusion and the moments of lucidity.
Despite the painful moments, I really enjoyed reading Quinn and Cooper's story. Sometimes, I was cheering them on and at others I wanted to shake some sense into them. This is a great story full of poignant glimpses, missed opportunities, confrontations and redemption.
