Blurb:

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:

Although Hopeless came out in 2012, I just discovered it a few weeks ago. Colleen Hoover won me over on the first page. I could not put this book down. Her style of writing captivates you and makes you want to read the whole book at once. 

"The sky is always beautiful. Even when it's dark or rainy or cloudy, it's still beautiful to look at. It's my favorite thing because I know if I ever get lost or lonely or scared, I just have to look up and it'll be there no matter what...and I know it'll always be beautiful." 

Hopeless is a the perfect mix of romance, mystery and heartache. I definitely let out a tear or two or three...The story of Sky and Holder is a roller coaster ride of emotions. 

Sky is the main character and narrator. She is beautiful and strong but she definitely has her flaws. Her character came off as very realistic, which is very important to me. 

Holder comes off as a mysterious bad boy. Then Sky gets to know him better and we slowly realize he is so much more than that. He is so many different things. Intense, passionate, kind and a little crazy. 

I loved watching Sky and Holder fall for each other. They just fit together so perfectly. This book is a must read.
