Colleen Hoover

Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies. That is what seventeen-year-old Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she's never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of just one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks memories from a past that she wishes could stay buried.

<b> THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ </b> <br />I was hooked with this book right from the start. I loved Dean Holder and the way he treated Sky/Hope.

Would you rather know a truth that makes you feel hopeless, or keep believing the lies? Colleen Hoover returns with the spellbinding story of two young people with devastating pasts who embark on a passionate, intriguing journey to discover the lessons of life, love, trust - and above all, the healing power that only truth can bring. Sky, a senior in high school, meets Dean Holder, a guy with a promiscuous reputation that rivals her own. From their very first encounter, he terrifies and captivates her. Something about him sparks memories of her deeply troubled past, a time she's tried so hard to bury. Though Sky is determined to stay far away from him, his unwavering pursuit and enigmatic smile break down her defences and the intensity of their relationship grows. But the mysterious Holder has been keeping secrets of his own, and once they are revealed, Sky is changed forever and her ability to trust may be a casualty of the truth. Only by courageously facing the stark revelations can Sky and Holder hope to heal their emotional scars and find a way to live and love without boundaries. Hopeless is a novel that will leave you breathless, entranced, and remembering your own first love.

wow!

I was loving the way the book was reading and then a twist! Another twist! More twists! A perfectly written tale; that no one should survive. Thank you Colleen for telling a story so painful, so real, and with so much passion. “Hopeless” penetrates the soul and makes us a little more thankful, brave, love more fiercely and most of all… believers in just how powerful our protective instincts are for others AND ourselves.

I laughed. I cried. I sympathized. I lived. I loved. 

Every piece of this story is just so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the exact same time. Sharing not only the love but also the pain makes the story of Holder and Sky more precious. He can feel her. She can feel him. And that is how we know the depth of their love. 

I actually, literally can't put this down. I just want to read it all in one sitting. All the secrets and revelations, I was in awe! The connections with everyone in the story. The meaning behind   HOPELESS . The concept of having the fate of Holder and Sky being connected ever since they were kids, which is one of the concepts I really really loved. I loved everything about this.

3.7 stars.

Not one of my favorites, but this story is a story that would stick with you for the rest of your life. I honestly loved that there was more to this book than just a sappy love story, that it had more depth than I realized. It went from basic to complex gradually, and it was a pretty nice adventure. Suffice it to say, I was pretty absorbed. There was never a dull page, except maybe for the sappy part where their relationship was developing. That part was too cheesy for me, I guess.

★★★ // reminds me so much of Twilight and Fifty Shades, but this wins by a hair in terms of having a more decent writing and plot.

Even though the story was good and an important story to tell, i still didn't connect with the characters as much as i'd like. I don't know why it is like that

I found their romance to be cliche at times and the smut didn't help much either. 

However i do think there are things to take from this book, like Sky's backstory the way she had suppressed her trauma without knowing it or the connection between Karen and Sky.

This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I absolutely loved reading it, you never knew what was gonna happen next. Holder was the perfect fit for Sky and I’m so glad they found each other. Beautiful story with some difficult issues.

“The sky is always beautiful. Even when it’s dark or rainy or cloudy, it’s still beautiful to look at. It’s my favorite thing because I know if I ever get lost or lonely or scared, I just have to look up and it’ll be there no matter what...and I know it’ll always be beautiful."

I should never let the thoughts of other people take over. Stalker-ish shit aside, this book was amazing. Now, I can't wait to get to the second book.
