A review by cherry_
Hopeless by Elsie Silver

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.0

4.5/5🌶️

(forced proximity, marriage of convenience, age gap, he fell first,
not experienced/experienced, nightmare trope)

i could not put this book down and it’s currently 5:26am 
that should tell you enough 

officially my favorite book off the series. then cade’s and then rhett’s. everything ab this book just beats them: 
The depth of the characters? i actually almost cried at the beginning with beau’s backstory
The tension?? mind blowing 
The SPICE??!! yessir sign me tf in

…honestly the spiciest of the whole series and the most original too like some of the scenes really made it for me.
i was actually surprised after every other book was 2-3/5🌶️

only things i wasn’t completely sold on was that the marriage of convenience was so sudden it felt fake, like it could have been planned out and explained  better bc it makes sense with both their stories. Also the end felt kinda rushed out, and the twist…i almost didn’t like it bc she was so independent and did it all on her own it felt wrong that he helped with that too

i know im gonna go back to reread it tho so nothing that annoyed me too much to not go back

would recommend! :)
