It seems that a theme Colleen loves to revisit is the idea of repressed memories. And it’s kind of unfair to the readers to believe they’re reading a dark, teeny-bopper romance from the back of the book only to realize there’s a pretty heavy emphasis on dark and less romance. Because most of her books include 2-3 twists, the plot summaries can’t really provide an accurate description on what the story is about. I didn’t sign up for a heavier book (I leave that to tv shows and not something I’m reading before bed) so I stopped midway.
My suggestion if you do love her books is to rely on the first-hand account from friends and ask them to share their thoughts after reading vs. retailer reviews. The parts I did read from ‘Hopeless’ were intriguing and I ended up googling the ending. It’s yet another “shock and awe” twist where I can see why it was suggested, it’s just not for me.

I really need to stop reading all these angsty teenage love stories... because I'm not getting any work done.
Ok, only the first half of this one was an angsty teenage love story, the rest was SO MUCH MORE. Seriously, all the feels going on right now.
I need a chapter break.

3.5 stars.
So, it was very hard for me to choose a rating for this book.
At first I thought whilst reading the first half that it was a bit difficult to get into. For my liking the relationship kind of went too fast and it didn't really make sense to me. I was like "is this going anywhere?".
THE SECOND HALF OF THE BOOK THOUGH. OH. MY. GOSH.
I was like: "THIS is the Colleen I know an love!"
I felt so many emotions, I didn't even know what to feel at times because twists kept coming and coming. It was just heart breaking, but also a lovely bittersweet story.
After I finished reading this book, I understood why everything seemed so fast for me at the start. I couldn't have known. I did suspect a few things, but it still kind of hit me like a truck.
PLEASE don't let my rating put you off. I settled with 3.5 as the other Colleen books I read have my heart and soul and I honestly didn't know where to put this book in my list. It wasn't the strongest CoHo book for me (this is only based on the first half due to the slow start in my opinion), but that doesn't mean that it wasn't amazing in it's own way. It only means that other books of hers are higher on my list. That's it.
I cannot wait to read Holder's POV and the Novella!

Tudede jeg? Nej
Var den god? Ja, men jeg må være ærlig og sige, at plottwistet var okay, men ikke lige mig. Har brug for mere romance.

My first read was back in 2015 and I didn't review. That was when I was getting back into reading for FUN. I used/still use Goodreads more as a tracker but I've become better at reviewing so I know if I want to recommend a book or not or re-read one.
I grabbed the audio version when Audible was having a sale. Boy oh boy jumping back into Sky, Dean, Six's world was good. I think I liked the print version better b/c I could skip a bit just so I had a good handle on where the book was going. With the audio I was just along for the ride. (which isn't bad)

Best book from Colleen so far! Give it a read if you’re into romance and love that will last for ever
