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've been putting this book off for such a long time, because I was afraid it would touch on things I wasn't ready to read about yet. It didn't. At all. I actually happened to really love this book.
Sky and Holder are amazing characters, they're flawed, but they see the best in each other. I also loved Karen, Sky's mom. She was such a joy to read about. I didn't quite get enough of Six though, Sky's neighbor and best friend. I loooooved her!!! She was my favorite character 3
I didn't even finish the book, before I went and ordered book two and three in the series. I need more of this universe, and I need it now.
The writing style was light and easy to read, and it wasn't quite as slow as Slammed, which I thoroughly enjoyed. This is among Hoover's best works, and if you haven't read it yet, you're really missing out!
