Our Year of Maybe
By Rachel Lynn SolomonPublisher Description
“Emotionally resonant and deeply characterized.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
From the author of You’ll Miss Me When I’m Gone comes a stunning contemporary novel, perfect for fans of Five Feet Apart, that examines the complicated aftermath of unrequited love between best friends.
Aspiring choreographer Sophie Orenstein would do anything for Peter Rosenthal-Porter, who’s been on the kidney transplant list as long as she’s known him. Peter, a gifted pianist, is everything to Sophie: best friend, musical collaborator, secret crush. When she learns she’s a match, donating a kidney is an easy, obvious choice. She can’t help wondering if after the transplant, he’ll love her back the way she’s always wanted.
But Peter’s life post-transplant isn’t what either of them expected. Though he once had feelings for Sophie, too, he’s now drawn to Chase, the guitarist in a band that happens to be looking for a keyboardist. And while neglected parts of Sophie’s world are calling to her—dance opportunities, new friends, a sister and niece she barely knows—she longs for a now-distant Peter more than ever, growing increasingly bitter he doesn’t seem to feel the same connection.
Peter fears he’ll forever be indebted to her. Sophie isn’t sure who she is without him. Then one heartbreaking night twists their relationship into something neither of them recognizes, leading them to question their past, their future, and whether their friendship is even worth fighting for.

“BRO DO NOT READ THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR HEART BROKEN!!! I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING THROUGH A BREAK UP JUST READING THROUGH SOPHIE’S POV. I picked this book up on purpose because I hate when they end up together so why not pick one where they’re most likely not going to be endgame? Biggest mistake of my life. This book kept me on edge the whole time. Peter was a frustrating character and I don’t know how Sophie dealt with him for so long. This book needs an epilogue for closures sake.”Believable charactersCharacters change and growEasy to readFast-pacedUnpredictableRealistic settingHeartbreakingUnsatisfying ending
