Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

Hopeless (Hopeless, #1)

by Colleen Hoover

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.

I don't even know how to begin to review Hopeless, there are just not enough words in the English language.
It's an emotional rollercoaster, you'll swoon, pant, gasp, cry and cry again. Beautifully written, but yet devastating to read. Just incredibly amazing. If Hopeless could convey one parting message to readers, surely it would be that nothing in fact, is hopeless and that we can find beauty and strength in the most despairing situations that life throws our way.

Colleen Hoover is by far my favourite author. Just brilliant.
