Hopeless (Hopeless 1)

Product Information

I couldn't for one second put it down while I was reading it (expect when absolutely necessary off course, but even then the story continued to live on inside my head). She makes out with all these guys because she enjoys the numb feeling she experiences during the makeout sessions. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

and say all the right things, all the things inside you that you've kept locked up for so long to that part of you which doesn't feel anymore, which is slipping away. As they embark on a journey to uncover the truth about her past, Sky and Holder, find themselves falling in love. Overall, I would describe Hopeless as one heavy, intense, and emotionally-driven book with an extraordinary level of angst. This does not deter her plans though, she pushes forward and is met with a not so friendly welcome by the 'mean girls' in school.But this love has conditions: they agree it will last only one hour, and it will be only make-believe. When she starts at the high school (without Six- who ends up doing foreign exchange) She has a bit of a rough start, and develops a bit of a reputation due to some of her flavors of the week that go to school there.

the relationship was so inconveniently timed and felt gross because of all the trauma that was happening around it. There is something about Holder that sparks memories of Sky's troubled past, those which she would rather stay buried. If only there weren’t rumors surrounding her before she steps foot into High School for the first time. And, after finishing this phenomenal book, I'm pretty sure I've never wanted to hug an author so badly in my life.When this book wasn't busy lovingly breaking my heart, it got its kicks from wowing me with some of the most clever and adorable scenarios imaginable. However, as he begins to uncover the truth about his own past, he realizes that he may have a chance to win Sky back. Then much to her dismay Sky finds out her best friend Six will be spending senior year abroad in Italy in a foreign exchange student program.

But still that's not enough: we have a hero who carries all the guilt of the universe on his shoulders, witness the kidnapping of the heroine, learn about the rape of the heroin and his twin. I'm sad to say that I had much more pleasure reading some of the beautiful reviews written about it than reading the book itself. But I know it sucked and I have no idea why you aren’t crying right now, but I know your heart hurts, and maybe even your pride. There is a confusing mix of messages being sent out here about being a "slut", what that means, and how we're supposed to react to it.In Losing Hope, Holder reveals the way in which the events of Sky's youth affected him and his family, leading him to seek his own redemption in the act of saving her. I'm going to work my way through some of the popular New Adult books and see if I can weed out the crap and hopefully find some surprising gems. Because if you've never felt anything when someone's kissed you, then no one's ever really kissed you. There are some very dark subjects in this book but the way Colleen Hoover handled them was just nothing short of amazing.

I want him to lock his arms around me and throw away the key, because this is where he belongs and I'm scared he'll just let me go again. The characters are complex and well-developed, the writing is beautiful and emotional, and the themes are important and relevant.

She prepared to battle to save someone she didn't know yet she did, perhaps better than anyone else. So many emotions poured out of this book into me, then through me before exiting in the form of my tears and smiles. It took effort to turn the pages, to make my brain comprehend and accept that life isn't about fluffy love and happily ever afters. You stop for a moment then shake your head and start running again because it could be someone else but after a few minutes you can't shake the uneasy feeling. But then she runs into Dean Holder - messy brown hair, smouldering blue eyes, and a temper straight out of Fight Club, someone who Sky is determined to avoid.
