She doesn't remember anything from what happened before she was taken away from her home and family when she was just five years old. But this love has conditions: they agree it will last only one hour, and it will be only make-believe.

My heart sinks and my stomach drops because I just realized with those words that no matter what I try to do to protect her, there’s something way stronger than me that’s tearing her apart. Seriously, I really enjoyed Hopeless but with the knowledge of Dean Holder’s past, inner most thoughts, his sister Leslie and that ending, the completed story was…perfection.I didn't think Holder's account was enough to carry this entire novel (maybe if it was a novella, but it would depend on the focal points), and you could tell where Hoover retraced details from the previous novel to the point where it was tediously trying to evoke the same emotions that were so potent from Sky's perspective in the previous novel. My fist is closer to him now and I have to clench it, knowing how good it would feel to punch his face in. well, I was completely wrong because in Losing Hope this author once again astounded me with her brilliance and Losing Hope did indeed exceed my expectations. I’m sure you know what I mean; the type of books that swallow you whole, drown you in emotion then spit you back out as a chewed up, gnarled mess.

This is a heartbreaking page-turner that asks: Can a resounding love with a perfect beginning survive a lifetime between two imperfect people? Being with her had me thinking about tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that and next year and forever. It wasn’t just steamy, it was just such a vital and pivotal point in the read and I am so glad it was written the way it was written. She volunteered to show him her ID, to a complete stranger, then he went and googled the hell out of her.

I am very conscious not to say much about this book as to give anything away, and not afford other readers the same experience I garnered from Losing Hope would sadden me indeed. New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover held readers spellbound with her novel Hopeless, the story of what happened when a troubled girl named Sky encountered a long-lost childhood friend, Dean Holder. LOL dont worry I'm not a masochist but the fact that I got the same feelings like I was reading it for the first time means a lot.
