  • SOOOOO GOOD!!!
Just wow! This book blew me away. It had all the twists and turns you would expect from a COHO book! I loved the story of Dean and Sky. Sky is a girl living with her mother, Karen, who had adopted her from a young age. Sky is not allowed to have any form of technology, her mother does not believe in it. She has also always been homeschooled until this year. Sky runs into Dean Holder in the grocery store one day, where he chases her down in the parking lot, claiming to know her from somewhere. She then bumps into him while running, and their connection grows. He quickly becomes someone she wants to spend all her time with. However, he has some strange sides to his personality that sort of scare her. Such as, one time he notices her bracelet she is wearing and demands she tell him who gave it to her. When she doesn't, he storms off and they don't talk for a month. She eventually goes and visits Dean's house, where she sees an old picture, and realizes that they knew each other when they were just kids. She finds out that Dean and his sister, Leslie, were her next-door neighbors when she was a kid. Dean says that one day she was sitting outside crying and he came out to comfort her. The next thing he knows, a car pulls up, she gets in the car, and leaves. He then tells Sky that she has been missing for 13 years. This throws a huge plot twist in the story, because up until now, Sky has thought she was adopted by Karen because her father did not want her. She gets very angry and goes home and packs all her stuff and tells Karen she needs time to think. Her and Dean go stay in a hotel in the town where Sky's father lives. They drive past her old house because she is hoping that seeing it will spark some memories. However, once in front of it, she realizes she needs to go inside to see if she can spark any memories from her childhood. Once inside, she goes to her old bedroom and decides to lay down on her bed. It is then, that she is flooded with flashbacks from her childhood where her dad would come home from work and bring her a gift. However, he always wanted her to "thank" him for this gift. She would cry every time he pulled her gown back down. She becomes enraged and starts throwing everything in the bedroom and Dean has to intervene and get her out of there. They go back to their hotel and she demands to return the next day. When they return the next day, her father is just getting home from work. Seeing him sparks her need for him to answer if he is doing this to other young girls. She jumps out of the car and soon after her father recognizes her. They go inside to discuss everything and he admits to raping her due to a drinking problem after Sky (Hope) mom dies. When Karen took Sky, he then took to raping Dean's sister, Leslie. Dean becomes sad at hearing this. Sky's father apologizes and shoots himself. They return to their hotel to wash off the blood. The next morning, Karen's boyfriend, Jack, calls Dean telling him that Karen confessed everything to Jack and that she really needs to talk to Sky. They go. Karen then proceeds to tell her that when she was 14, her 23-year old brother had to take care of her due to both of her parents being dead. He used to physically hit her when he got mad. One night, though, he got so mad that he raped her. He did this for 2 years straight. It is then, that Sky figures out that Karen's brother is her father. Karen says that she was in the grocery store one day and hears her brother's familiar voice talking to a little girl, and that is when she saw Sky. She saw the same hopeless fearful look in her eyes that Karen once had, and it was then she knew he was doing the same things to Sky. Karen planned it out for how she would get Sky out of the situation. She tried multiple times to report it, but because Sky's dad was in law enforcement, the cases always got dismissed. So, she took her that evening. She figured as long as she could keep her safe until she was 18, and wouldn't have to be taken back to her father, that she would endure whatever consequences came of Sky finding out what happened. However, Sky realizes what sacrifices Karen has made for her and decides to move past it. I CAN NOT GET OVER HOW GOOD THIS BOOK WAS!! The twists were just insane!!!!! Can't wait to start Losing Hope now!!! ... show more

  • 5++++ amazing stars!
This review and others can be found at [...]- Jointly reviewed for totallybooked Jenny: Gitte, is it possible to fall in love with a book and its characters from the first few pages, because if it is then that is exactly what happened to me in Hopeless by Colleen Hoover. I fell in love with this book instantly and my feelings didn't waiver until I read "the end" and even then I've spent the past few weeks thinking about this book and how it affected me. To say I have loved everything this author has written is an understatement. Every word she writes is flawless and every word demands to be read. This story took me completely by surprise. I didn't know what to expect and what I got was so much more than I could have ever hoped for. This story touched me, moved me, humoured me and devastated me and I loved every minute of it. Hopeless is a darker read than Slammed and Point of Retreat and I was absolutely enthralled with the places this author took me throughout this book. Gitte: I am speechless Jenny, after I had finished this book I felt faint; every word this Author wrote squeezed my heart tight; made me dizzy and light headed....my eyes hurt as did my head; I just could not put it down! I am in complete awe and utter admiration....Reading Sky and Holder's story left me breathless, made me cry. This Author captures a reader in a tight hold carries you with words that each takes their rightful place in your heart and doesn't let you go until the story has been told. Long after, every single word still stays with you. This story just flowed so naturally. The relationship between the characters was inspiring their relationship and story intense. "The sky is always beautiful. Even when it's dark or rainy or cloudy, it's still beautiful to look at....it'll be there no matter what...and I know it'll always be beautiful." Jenny: I know how immersed you were in this story, you wouldn't even answer your phone until you finished it. Sky is heading off to High School (and school in general) for the first time after being home schooled by her Mum for her school life. Unfortunately, she is forced to do this on her own as her best friend Six is moving away for six months and leaving Sky to face her first year of school alone. Her introduction to school isn't a pleasant one with the other students already having a preconceived opinion of who Sky is - they couldn't be more off the mark where Sky is concerned, but Sky takes it all in her stride and she is lucky enough to make a friend in Breckin. This friendship is just so warm and funny! I just loved these two. They were kindred spirits and I absolutely cracked up at the banter between these two. I have to say GG that I just ADORED Sky. She was strong, independent, yet vulnerable in some ways, funny and when her story starts to develop my heart just ached for her and the sorrow and sadness I felt for her was all encompassing. Gitte: LOVED Sky; she was an amazing character. She is up front and doesn't suffer fools gladly. She is honest, genuine, funny, adorable, naïve yet knows more than a person should know. The somewhat sheltered life she has had, for reasons which become clear, has left her with this endearing quality an tangible innocence. Yet at the same time she had a spot on sense of humour and a sarcasm which yeah made me fall in love with her even more! Jenny: Sky has never "felt" before. She has kissed a few boys, but she has not felt anything with them...nothing. That all changes when she meet Holder. Dean Holder has a troubled past and a reputation and temper that precedes him. Dean Holder......Wow! Be still my beating heart! I LOVED this guy! He stole my heart from the outset. There is an instant attraction between these two but it's not just an attraction - it's something deeper, something instant, a connection. They both feel it and the chemistry between these two was palpable. You absolutely felt their connection and you immediately needd to know why Holder especially is so drawn to Sky. Sky is wary of her feelings for Holder but she confides in him. In Holder she sees something, she begins to open up to him and express her feelings of "nothing" -. Holder assures her that with him she will "feel" - "the moment my lips touch yours, it will be your first kiss. Because if you've never felt anything when someone's kissed you, then then no one's ever really kissed you. Not the way I plan on kissing you" - and how true this was! Not only did Sky feel that first kiss but I swear I did too GG! Gitte: If anyone could make Sky feel again it had to be Holder. Seriously Jenny, what can I say about Holder. He was pretty damn perfect! I LOVE this guy. He was perfectly imperfect!! And yeah Jenny I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck and arms stand up because I felt it too! Jenny: I felt exactly the same GG! To watch the relationship between Sky and Holder develop and flourish was something I devoured! These characters entered my heart....they nestled deep down in it and have found a place there forever. The intimacy these two shared could be felt, with every word, with every touch and with every breath you feel it. This author really does have a way of bringing her characters to life and in this story they are brought to life so realistically that at times I actually found myself clutching my heart. You really do care what happens to these characters. Gitte: This is where I have to bring the intensity up again. This Author just has this amazing talent that completely draws a reader in. Her words have a hard impact yet they soothe too; making each established word count in a way that it gets absorbed and doesn't leave, instead burrowing itself into the heart of the reader thereby creating a scene, an atmosphere, a picture, a feeling, a memory a smell even a perception or judgement. The characters in this story...I loved them. Both of them. Their story... was beyond heartbreaking, amazing, touching, beautiful and emotional even funny at times. Hopeless is without doubt one of the best books I have read this year. What an amazingly talented Author Colleen Hoover is, Sky and Holder will always have a piece of my heart! Jenny: Couldn't agree more GG. This is definitely going to be up there as one of my best reads for this year that's for sure! As each piece of the story was peeled away and their pasts revisited, my heart broke one piece at a time. It initially broke for Sky but in the end it shattered for both of them. There were twists and turns all through this book and the reveal crushed me. The way it was handled amazed me. The ending satisfied me. It all felt so real, and I felt I was there with them in the moment for every moment. My interest, concern and love for these characters never wavered and I felt every emotion they felt. There is the perfect blend of light and dark in this book so you don't feel weighed under with sadness but you do feel sad, you do feel the hopelessness and the hopefulness of Sky and Holder. Just as it becomes too much and you think you won't recover, the author injects humour and warmth and brings you back from the brink. It was perfectly crafted, wonderfully told and Hopeless forever has a special place in my heart. J&G: This book is a departure from Slammed and Point of Retreat and we're so glad this author took the plunge and wrote this story. As readers we love and admire any author who can break the mould and produce a story that surprises us and gives us something different and that's exactly what happened with Hopeless. Don't' got into this thinking it's a carbon copy of her previous books. It isn't, and it is for this reason that this books so excited us. Colleen Hoover is one storyteller who we feel could write just about anything and it would be captivating. : ... show more
