About the Book
"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 Garett 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. Except 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"--Book Synopsis
A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUZZ PICK!
"Greenberg serves up some irresistible romantic angst in this page-turner.. This is a knockout." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Filled with the romance and angst that defines the years you come to know yourself, with a shifting timeline covering two decades and ratcheting up the tension, Maybe Once, Maybe Twice is a novel of second chances and finding your own way. 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 is successfully panning out.

"Everything you want in a smart romantic comedy: deep, tear-inducing emotions; sharp, sardonic humor; steamy sex scenes played by even steamier leads; and an epic soundtrack underneath it all." - Associated PressReview Quotes

This is a knockout." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "This nonformulaic romance is strong on friendship and the importance of being true to oneself." - BooklistAbout the Author

It’s rare that in a love triangle, a reader roots for all the parties, but that’s what happened in my case. Maggie is in love with two different people: Garrett who she has pined for for the last 12 years, and Asher her first love. The reader is introduced to Garrett first and while their relationship is far from perfect (I mean, Garrett is engaged to someone else!), it’s easy for the reader to feel their chemistry and want their love story to find a happy ending. Then we meet Asher, and we learn about their young love story. Asher is presented as such a good guy, it’s hard not to want them to have a happily ever after too. I became just as invested in Asher/Maggie as I was Garrett/Maggie. This is where I think the author did a phenomenal job in forming the story. I couldn’t decide who I wanted Maggie to be with, and that’s what kept me devouring chapter after chapter. When her decision was made, part of me applauded it and part of me mourned the match that could have been, and I don’t think I’ve felt that way about any other love triangle story I’ve ever read. It’s that rarity in character formation that would have me recommend this book to anyone who would listen. The ending was a bit rushed and a bit clumsy, especially after all the detail placed in the rest of the storytelling. It felt like it was a contrived twist to add drama where none was needed. At first I thought this would ruin the story for me, but the author fixes this mistake at the last moment. With that said, a few pages of messiness doesn’t take away from how great the rest of the story reads. If you are a fan of romance, you won’t go wrong picking up this book.
