Synopsis:
Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies…
That’s what seventeen-year-old Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she’s never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of just one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past that she wishes could just stay buried.
Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he’s nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn’t at all who he’s been claiming to be. When the secrets he’s been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky’s life will change forever.
Review:
After reading Slammed, Colleen Hoover
became one of my favorite authors. I just love her style of writing
and the way she sucks you into the storyline. I've had Hopeless on my
shelf for a little while now, and finally got a chance to read it. It
was amazing! This is so much more than just a teenage romance. This
is a deep, emotional story with so many twists and turns that you
won't be able to stop flipping the pages.
Seventeen-year-old Sky has lived a very
sheltered life – for good reason. She doesn't know the reason
though. Her whole life is a lie and all the crazy details slowly
start unraveling. Holder was such a great character. There was so
much mystery surrounding him for so long. I'm glad that none of the
chapters were told from his point of view so that the mystery could
remain. Holder is going to be everyone's book boyfriend – every
teenage girl's fantasy. I loved his “Hopeless” tattoo and the
meaning behind it. I also loved the texts that he sent to Sky.
Holder is by her side every step of the
way when life starts crumbling around Sky. She is a strong character
and has gone through so much. Just as much as I loved the amazing
plot, I was in love with the swoon-worthy romance. I can't LOVE a
book without a good romance... and this book has it all – drama,
mystery, romance, passion, intense emotions...
I'm not sure if this should be
classified as New Adult or Young Adult. The main character is 17 but
there is sex involved (however, it's not too descriptive). No matter
your age though, if you love romances with a lot of depth, I suggest
you read this now!
