Hopeless

Colleen Hoover

4.05 AVERAGE


This was a great book, I've started it two other times but never stuck it out for some reason. I also got it for $1 at the Goodwill, so even better. It was heartbreaking at times but it all tied together so perfectly and there was a happy ending for everyone, yay!

Do you remember your favorite afterschool special? The one you recorded on your VCR and watched over and over again? The one with your favorite Tigerbeat actor? The one you maybe weren't quite old enough to watch, but watched anyway?
I feel like "Hopeless" is kind of like my all-time favorite afterschool special...but way hotter. I did not want this book to end. Also, Holder may have ruined me for other men forever (though, at my age, I probably shouldn't be thinking about 18-year-old boys).

I thought Sky and Holder were going to turn out being siblings

It was simply meh.

Longer review in processing

I loved this book how everyone was connected in some way. Some part of the story was predictable and some wasn't, but I loved it! Now on to Holder's story.

I'm torn and broken.

I'm fine. I'm a little sad, and a whole lot confused, but I'm fine.

But don't talk to me.

This was one of those books that I picked up, read the first 100 or so pages, put down for a while, picked back up, and wish I had never put down. This was DARK. Like pitch black. I was expecting some heartbreak and surprises because it's a Colleen book but this book just kept the punches coming, and then when you thought you had it all figured out BOOM another punch. I cried, I laughed, and I freaking loved this book.

this book is a wild ride

I was thinking about this book in my sleep. I was talking about it with my husband and my friends and I was addicted. I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen.

Sky and Holder and all the insane twists and turns of this book are so worth the time. Just do it.

It was hard to read. Not like- I couldn’t get through it. But that it wrecked me and made me so sad and was so deep and twisted. But I also loved the storyline and the true love aspect.
