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.
I've just re-read Hopeless for the second time because it is so freaking amazing. It brought out every emotion I could ever feel. I was laughed, cried, screamed at the page, got the butterflies and even needed to take a couple of 'chapter break's' ;)
At the start of the story we meet Sky, possibly the funniest person in the whole wide world. This girl is amazing. When she meets Holder she is instantly attracted to him and very intruiged by him. The feeling is mutual, Holder immediately thinks she is somebody else and demands to know her name. He almost refuses to accept she is called Sky and that she isn't the girl he thought she was. He is extremely intense and this freaks Sky out.
Later that day when out for a run, Sky quite literally runs into Holder. Upon this encounter, gone is the scary guy from earlier. He is replaced by friendly, flirty and funny Holder. Sky knows she is screwed! She likes him. Alot.
Sky and Holder quicky form a bond and things are headed to the next level. The chemistry and banter between these characters is superb. It had me laughing out loud more times than I can remember.
All good book's need a twist or a turning point, this had both. What went from being a very light hearted fun read went to a heart breaking story of betrayal, lies and deceit. I loved how the twist connected the characters. It was genius. I think I bit all of my nails off, terrified of what would happen to Sky.
Colleen Hoover is such a talented writer. She touched two very sensitive subjects, and handled them extremely well. She drew every feeling i've ever felt, out of me whilst reading this.
Im super excited for the follow up book to this series, which will be told from Holder's POV. It will be aptly named "Losing Hope"
I rate Hopeless 5*
