Publisher's Summary

Would you rather know a truth that makes you feel hopeless, or keep believing the lies? Beloved and bestselling author Colleen Hoover returns with the spellbinding story of two young people with devastating pasts who embark on a passionate, intriguing journey to discover the lessons of life, love, trust--and above all, the healing power that only truth can bring.

Sky, a senior in high school, meets Dean Holder, a guy with a promiscuous reputation that rivals her own. From their very first encounter, he terrifies and captivates her. Something about him sparks memories of her deeply troubled past, a time she's tried so hard to bury.

Though Sky is determined to stay far away from him, his unwavering pursuit and enigmatic smile break down her defenses and the intensity of the bond between them grows. But the mysterious Holder has been keeping secrets of his own, and once they are revealed, Sky is changed forever and her ability to trust may be a casualty of the truth.

Only by courageously facing the stark revelations can Sky and Holder hope to heal their emotional scars and find a way to live and love without boundaries. Hopeless is a novel that will leave you breathless, entranced, and remembering your own first love.

Drags and over explains story

Very laborious to get through. Good twist at the later part of the book but not worth sitting through the mundane over stating. Holders is rude in parts and romanticises poor character with the “but then he’s amazing” acts.

Brilliant

So plausible, so gut wrenching, so worth the read. It was my first book by Colleen Hoover and i am now a fan. I’m thrilled to now be able to enjoy so many of her other books.

Another hit out of the park by Colleen Hoover

Honestly obsessed with her books. She's not put a foot wrong and delivers another excellent novel. Narration is on point! The reader doesn't attempt to differentiate between male and female dialogue and just reads it effortlessly.

Surprising

I loved this story, the relationships between the characters was so believable. It wasn’t the story I expected it to be and I shed a tear in a couple of places. Some people really have some difficulties to get through life just like some of these families.
