Maybe Once, Maybe Twice

By: Alison Rose Greenberg

Narrated by: Katherine Littrell

You know that old saying “if we are still single when we’re 35, we should get married?” Well, Maggie Vine made that vow with two different people at two very different stages of her life. And they both showed up. Maggie Vine’s life is going extra-medium.

At 35, she’s pursuing her dreams of being a singer and being a mother—though neither are successfully panning out. So when Garrett Scholl—stifled hedge-fund manager by day but electrifying aspiring rock singer by night—comes to her 35th birthday party with the intention to kiss Maggie senseless, it feels like one piece might click into place.

But he’s engaged to someone else, and Maggie knows she won’t fit into the cookie-cutter life he’s building for himself. Enter Asher Reyes. Her first boyfriend from summer camp turned into heartthrob actor, he’s lived a successful yet private life ever since he got famous.

When a career-changing opportunity is presented to Maggie after her reconnection with Asher, it feels like everything—music, love, family—will fall into place. But her past won’t let her move on without a fight.

Filled with the romance and angst that defines the years you come to know yourself, Maybe Once, Maybe Twice is a novel of second chances and finding your own way that's perfect for fans of Josie Silver and Sophie Cousens.

Critic reviews

"Katherine Littrell skillfully narrates a love-triangle romance set in New York City. Littrell ably navigates the multiple storylines and jumps in time periods. Littrell wonderfully conveys the desires and hesitations of this trio, as well as splendidly revealing Maggie's struggles with her career and complex family history." - Audiofile Magazine

Disjointed

I had a hard time following the storyline because it kept jumping from one age of the main character to another. After figuring out what was going on (at least half way through the story ) it was ok.

Unbelievably beautiful

This was so well written and heartfelt. Usually romantic books like this are filled with cliches and average writing. The writing was stunning. Maybe my favorite read of 2023. The characters were very likable and I didn’t know how I hoped the story would end. More books please ARG.

A favorite!!

The story had me on my toes wanting to know who or what Maggie would choose. Not the ending I thought and loved it even more. Greenberg has done it again with this novel! We need more.

Great story kept me guessing.

While this wasn’t a mystery- I could not figure out who would end up together. A real page turner!

Clever and well written overall

Loved this book overall. Didn’t love the ending. I thought she pushed it a bit too far on the 2nd breakup.
