Hopeless by 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.

I bought this book knowing nothing about it.

Sure, I'd heard it was a NYT bestseller and knew it did smashingly well on Amazon.
But that was it.
I knew absolutely nothing about the plot.

And this book blew me away.

I juggle manic deadlines of my own so to give up hours and hours, and not go to bed until I finish...well, that's saying a lot for the quality of the book.

The characters made this book for me.
Holder is incredible. I love a flawed hero and he's one of the best.

Sky's voice is riveting to read.
And I loved how the secondary characters in Six and Breckin played off the main characters perfectly.

Hopeless is intense and heartbreaking and mesmerising.

I can't rave enough about it!

THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD READ!!!!!

It deserves the 4 stars through and through. Wonderful storyline, so perfect how everything tied together in the end. Although it could be predictable at times, the different parts of the story was strung together very beautifully.

Only had a problem with how the main character seemed nonchalant about being called a ‘slut'. That wasn't something to look up to and it pissed me off a little.

Cutting down on the text about kissing would have made the book a little better, too. I understand it was an essential part of the story, but omg it came to the point that every time I read the word “kiss” I rolled my eyes and wanted to puke.

Otherwise, a great read!!

I can't even fathom a coherent sentence about this book. I thought it was a little slow to start but once it got going, oh my gosh.

How do I say this nicely? This would be great for a 12 year old except I wouldn't really want my 12 year old cousin to read the sex. The writing is so cringy. She really beats HOPELESS into your brain.
