As for a review of the book, it was an incredibly easy read that can be devoured in one sitting and ends with a smile on the reader’s face. Daniel and Six are very likable characters, as are Quinn and Graham. The reader certainly roots for both couples, anticipating a happily ever after. Colleen Hoover". The Book Pusher. Archived from the original on September 5, 2014 . Retrieved July 10, 2014. The Hopeless series would appeal to fans of young adult romance and new adult romance. The related book is an adult contemporary romance. But other than that, Holder was everything I remembered from Hopeless. Sweet, thoughtful, funny, and intense. I’m actually kind of pissed that his awesomeness was tarnished by that cheating scene at the beginning of the book. It didn’t feel necessary to me at all; it just made me get off on the wrong foot with Holder.

Hoover’s decision to retell a story she’s already told was undoubtedly a risk, but it certainly was one worth taking. The character development in this story really shines as we meet Holder in a new light — his own light. As opposed to the heavy content and themes from the first two books, this lighthearted read features new and unexpected love, some steamy scenes, and lots of witty banter. We also get a fair amount of Holder and Sky in this story who we already know and love from the prequels. This book follows Sky, a sheltered former foster child who is entering public school for her senior year after being homeschooled her whole life, and Holder, the brooding bad boy who seems to have a secretive past.But I LOVE the emphasis on Les in Losing Hope. We learn so much about how Holder struggled with Les’s suicide. Sometimes, that extra element made Losing Hope feel like a completely different book from Hopeless (in a good way). It felt like its own story rather than the same story from a different point of view. Holder writes letters to Les in a journal after her death, and just the way he dealt with it was so interesting to read, but also saddening. So many of those letters (and Holder’s thoughts in general) broke my heart in half! Colleen completely jerked my tears around. Colleen Hoover Ebook Boxed Set Hopeless Series: Hopeless, Losing Hope, Finding Cinderella, and Finding Perfect (2022) The personalities of these two characters and the thoughts they possess are so vastly different; hearing them tell accounts of the same events is gripping. The only thing these stories have in common is their starting point. Each author showcased in this anthology was featured in The Bookworm Box in 2020. Each author has graciously donated their story so that 100% of profits from this anthology will be going to the various charities The Bookworm Box is able to support because of you, the readers. And beyond all of this, readers get to discover just what happened to Les, how much she knew, and why she did what she did.

Is Sky who she thinks she is? Does her adoptive mother have her best interest at heart? Does Holder’s hot-and-cold attitude have anything to do with all this? What if Sky doesn’t know the rules to “make-out” clothes? What if she’s wearing this dress just for the hell of it? What if she’s just wearing this dress because her washing machine broke and all her jeans were dirty? What if she’s wearing this dress because she didn’t have time to change into jeans before I showed up at her house? What if she’s wearing this dress because she went to some sort of random church today that has service on Saturdays?The Hopeless series follows the love story of Sky and Holder who meet in high school. The first book gives Sky’s story while book two opens up about Holder’s past, giving his story.

Additionally, Hoover shows the reader a beautiful seesaw effect in this book: the parts where the reader was utterly bewildered by Holder’s actions in Hopeless are laid out on a platter and explained beautifully in this installment since Holder is narrating this piece. If Daniel is so happy with Six, why is he still having thoughts of his fling in the closet? Moreover, why are his feelings for Six starting to feel an awful lot like the feelings he had for his pretend lover? When she doesn’t respond, I sigh and look up at the ceiling. If she’s on the phone with him, I’ll be pissed. But if she’s on the phone with him, it probably means he’s telling her the break-up was all my fault and she’ll be the one who’s pissed. I wipe my palms on my shorts and open the door to her bedroom, preparing for another heated lecture on how I need to mind my own business. Italie, Hillel (September 16, 2021).

Retrieved February 12, 2022. Age Rating: The age rating for the Hopeless series is generally for mature adults aged 17 and over. We think it would be best enjoyed by persons aged 25 to 40 as, while the characters are in high school, the storyline is very advanced. These are young people dealing with very complex situations and emotions. The traumatic sexual content may also be triggering to some people. Each of the twenty-six authors featured in this anthology were given the same first sentence. Where they took that first sentence was completely up to them.

She’s stronger than I give her credit for, though. She didn’t attempt to call him last night and she’s made no attempt to call him today. She didn’t get much sleep last night, so she went to her room before lunch to nap. However, I’ve been pausing outside her bedroom door throughout the day just to make sure I couldn’t hear her on the phone, so I know she hasn’t made any attempts to call him. At least while I’ve been home. In fact, I’m pretty sure the heartless phone call from him last night was exactly what she needed to finally see him for who he really is.
