Hopeless by Elsie Silver is an unforgettable, emotional rollercoaster that completely swept me off my feet. From the very first chapter, I was hooked by the slow-burning tension and the depth of emotion that builds between Bailey and Beau. Their connection is raw and achingly beautiful, unfolding in such a natural, unforced way that you feel every glance, every quiet moment, every unspoken word.
Bailey is such a strong and resilient heroine. She’s been through so much and yet she still leads with heart and hope. I adored how she carved out peace in the chaos of her world and stood her ground even when people tried to keep her small. Watching her find her voice and grow into her strength was so empowering.
Beau absolutely broke my heart and then slowly put it back together. He’s guarded and scarred in more ways than one, but underneath it all is a man with the biggest heart and the fiercest protectiveness. The way he sees Bailey, the way he chooses her when no one else ever really has, it’s everything. He made me cry and swoon, sometimes in the same chapter.
There’s something so special about how Elsie Silver writes small towns, families, and quiet moments that scream with emotion. This book gave me late night chills, teary smiles, and so many highlighted lines I’ll come back to again and again. It’s the kind of story that sticks with you long after you finish.
Absolutely loved it. Five stars and a million feelings.
