I can't take you tonight. I had my heart completely broken about an hour ago by a psychotic bitch and I need a little more time to recover from that relationship.

This novella’s protagonists are Daniel and Six. For all of you Hopeless fans, you’ll recall that Daniel is Holder’s best friend while Six is Sky’s best friend. They are both quirky and funny, both misfits of sorts with a ton of personality. The story begins with a fated, chance encounter that would indelibly mark them… a destined happenstance charged with an emotional, soul-deep connection they had never felt before. For real,” I say. “You’re my best friend and I love you. I’m not ashamed to admit that I love a guy. I love you, Holder. Daniel Wesley loves Dean Holder. Always and forever.” Any author who has a memento copy of one of their books printed in “Ermahgerd” is someone who deserves to be read. Also, Finding Cinderella was free, so it was the obvious winner of the “which one should I read?” contest. The romance between them feels natural. I guess some people can label it as insta-love/love-at-first-sight (something I despise with my entire being), but it doesn't feel like that to me. It feels like two people who, from the first moment they met, understood each other on a deeper level. They connected.

I’ll never get used to hearing Sky call him Dean, but her introduction gives me an excuse to look over at that spoon again. Six pulls it out of her mouth and points it at me. “Nice to meet you, Daniel,” she says. I experienced so many emotions while reading this story. I have to say that the banter was brilliantly done. Daniel’s parents were hilarious! Daniel and Holder’s bromance was absolutely adorable! I love the beginning, I thought it was very cute (yes a bit cheesy at times), but that's the stuff we love right? Colleen really has a way with words and for obvious reasons that is why she is so loved. Wait, wait, wait,” Sky says, waving her hands in the air and looking at me like I’m crazy. “What do you mean Grayson pummeled you because you said you took my virginity? What the hell, Daniel?” I have a personal problem, so when ever it resurfaces in books, it makes me cringe. So, yes I did cringe and I kind was like, oh boy it went there. I think it would have been easier on me if it wasn't a novella and I got more character development or I was more wrapped in the story, but I can't fault anyone for that, b/c it's novella.All of the authors showcased in this anthology were featured in The Bookworm Box charity during 2019. I’ve never had sushi,” I admit, trying to process the fact that I’m pretty sure she just agreed to go out on a date with me. Quotes in this review are still subject to change before publication. A huge thank you to Colleen Hoover for sending me an early review copy!!

I can’t help but smile at her reply, though. I wouldn’t mind having to see this girl on a recurring basis. “So does that mean you’ll be joining our lunchroom alliance?” I lean forward and grab the bowl of ice cream she didn’t finish. I pull it to me and take a bite. Thank you Colleen Hoover for gifting this book to the reading world! I wish I had your flare with words to perfectly express how much I truly adore your books. Each one of your characters holds a special place in my heart. Now, Daniel and Six have a spot as well. Thank you! Nothing. They forgot to assign me a class, so I hide out in this maintenance closet every day for an hour." - DanielA continuation of the Hopeless trilogy, this free novella begins with a chance encounter between two teenagers who pretend to fall in love but only for one hour. When the hour is up, one of the pretend lovers is left to wonder if those moments of fake love were real. Fast forward one year, Daniel meets a strange girl named Six who forces him to believe in love at first sight. Their story was extremely sweet and made me feel warm and giddy. Loved every single second of it. (Especially their sense of humor. I laughed real hard with those two!)
