Encuadernación: rústicaEn Puede que esta vez, primer libro de Sonia Pulido, la autora plasma el proceso de crecimiento de una chica, con un trasfondo muy pop A través de situaciones, pensamientos, encuentros y desencuentros, el lector descubre quién ha sido, quién es y en quién se quiere convertir la protagonista. A medida que la historia transcurre, se va afianzando una relación de pareja que se desarrolla paralela a la evolución del personaje. No es una historia lineal, sino más bien hecha a partir de fragmentos, capítulos sueltos que juntos explican una transformación, un querer ser. De ahí el título, Puede que esta vez: puede que esta vez lo consiga, puede que esta vez todo vaya hacia donde ha de ir, puede que esta vez sea feliz, triunfe el amor. El título es un homenaje a la canción "Maybe this time" de la película Cabaret.
