I cannot possibly describe how much I hate when I hear or read these three words together: maybe, just maybe. Mostly I’ll hear it in films when some underdog character is trying overcome insurmountable odds. Recently, though, I read it in a novel and I put the book down immediately. I have zero interest in ever continuing it again.
I think the biggest reason why I don’t like is because the situations in which its used is too melodramatic and thus makes the plot seem instantly lame. I can’t even write any more about it because it’s making me cringe.
