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.
Praise for Colleen Hoover:
'As brilliant and entertaining as Slammed, Point of Retreatis absolute poetry.' - JAMIE MCGUIRE, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Disaster
'I finished reading Slammed at 1am on Sunday... I couldn't wait to start reading Point of Retreatso I bought it right then and there!' - Amazon Review
I had read Finding Cinderella before reading Hopeless and I thought Hopeless would be a funny story but man, it was everything. Now I understand why so many readers love Colleen and love Hopeless. Her writing style is perfect and her stories are amazing.
I began reading this book and I just knew this book was going to touch my heart and it did. I connected to Sky’s character in so many ways. Reading about what she went through, all those flashbacks, was hard for me and got me so emotional. Sky is very brave and such a strong character even when she had her breakdowns.
Hopeless is a dark, phenomenal, romantic, thoughtful…it really has everything. I thought I wasn’t going to like it because it turned out to be different than Finding Cinderella but it’s because it is so dark and in-depth that I love this story. If you still haven’t read any books by Colleen Hoover, I HIGHLY recommend you start with Hopeless because it will be the ride of your life, a major roller-coaster of emotions. You will cry, you will laugh, you will understand, you will connect, you will fall hard for each character in this story. I had a book hang over. It took me a while to write a review and I still don’t feel happy with what I have written because Hopeless is very hard to describe and hard to express emotions for.
It is perfect…it is beyond amazing. You will love this story and will not regret ever picking it up.
