I. Loved. This. Book. So. Freaking. Much.

You could think that reading the same story only from different points of view could be a bit boring, but it wasn't. At all. For starters, Holder's story begins earlier and ends after Sky's and I liked that because I really wanted to know more about what happened after her finding out the truth.

I already knew Holder was an amazing person, but being able to read his feelings, what he thinks and why he does what he does just gave that word a whole new meaning. He is such a good person. Having a guy like Holder as a boyfriend is probably everything a girl can wish for. Having someone always by our side despite everything and helping us get through such horrible things... There are no words to describe that feeling. Their love is so big and beautiful. I could never get bored reading about them.

Now, Lesslie's letter. WHAT??? HUGE OH MY GOD. COMPLETELY MIND BLOWN. I never imagined! It's good knowing that she died knewing all that, though. It's more peaceful.

This book is really extraordinary. The characters are so good and the writing is very good, too. Colleen Hoover writes the most beautiful books and Losing Hope is at the top of the list of the best books I ever read in my life.

This is basically the same as the first one but just in Holders point of view. I was hard for me to read this after the first one because robot felt like reading the same exact thing. I finished it months after I started it.

This book was VERY repetitive to hopeless, it took forever to get into and felt like I was for the most part just re-reading hopeless. As much as I love the 1st book I didn’t feel I needed to read basically everything over again in the 2nd book. There were some parts that weren’t included in the first book but this book really drug on. Overall I of course love sky and holder

OMG the ending, the storyline, I cried so much happy and sad tears these characters were put through so much! But.... As a true crime and crime series lover there was some stuff that needed to be explained a bit better but all and all another great series from COHo

No sé si hubiera leído la secuela de hopeless, ver la historia de otra perspectiva no es atrayente para mi (porque ya sabes todo lo que ocurre) sin embargo, ya que a la trilogía la estoy leyendo con una amiga, lo leí. Como dice goodreads, tardé un montón en leerlo; no era de mi interés. Hasta que descubrí la mejor forma de concluirlo: audiolibros. Es increíble cómo te cambia el ánimo escuchar el libro expresado en emociones. Realmente lo disfruté mucho y dudo que sin escucharlo lo habría podido terminar. Aunque escuche la mitad del libro en audio}, la otra la leí; y sinceramente me gusto más que el primero. Muy bueno.
Ansiosa por saber más de Gabriel.

Totally Holder's story not just his POV. :)

Liked his letters Les and hers was extremely heartbreaking as if Hopeless wasn't enough, Losing Hope grilled my heart literally of all the happiness. :( as in fuck.

It's also nice to know that Holder had Dennis and their friendship with Breckin was possible, not that it wouldn't IRL but it's a wonderful touch.



Now Colleen Hoover I think is one great writer. Love her.
