I love the whole Chestnut Springs series and this was a great ending, breaking the mould a little of them all settling near the ranch which was nice. I loved the fire between Beau & Bailey and they were funny and real as characters. Overall they weren’t my favourite couple but I enjoyed reading about them and both of them getting a bit of a redemption arc / fresh start.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit, I had read 300 pages in the first day of owning this book. Most of what I liked about this books was the vibes, so I don't have wonderful poetics about the positives of this book.

The negatives of this book, however...
I didn't like the talk about how small and dainty she was. My patience for this wore thin really quickly.
The age gap was kind of problematic in this. I put it a bit out of my head while I was reading, but it wasn't the best by a long shot. They mentioned frequently how young she was, but I kind of just tried to tune it out to keep having fun.

I have blitzed through this series in 4 days so you know I enjoyed it!

Speaking on Hopeless itself, I enjoyed Beau and Bailey’s story and the camaraderie that they share, coming from traumatic pasts and both living with insecurities around the unknown parts of their lives. It makes sense that they would be drawn together, though, like Beau, I do find the age difference slightly awkward. That being said, Bailey is clearly a 22-year-old who has had to be wise before her years, and Beau’s years in the military probably mean that his 20s and early 30s were not as progressive socially as they could have been. Maybe they meet in the middle.

Hopeless did not grab me as much as the other books in the series did, which is why my rating is slightly lower. I felt myself gravitating more towards the snippets of the other characters’ lives and wished we’d had more of that.

That being said, I still found Beau-Bailey endearing, hilarious and, frankly, emotional. I giggled and blushed and cheered for them. I hope they’re happy together forever, and I hope those Jansen boys get far away from Chestnut Springs.
