You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have, The Facts of Life. - Gloria Loring

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 no one's ever really kissed you. Not the way I plan on kissing you.” The story opens with Sky and Six ushering boys into their rooms for a make-out session that soon turns sour, with the boys turned out, and the girls pigging out on ice cream. It is the day before Sky starts her senior year at the high school after years of being home schooled. But she’ll have to tough it out alone, since Six is leaving on a student exchange program to Italy.

Well I have to admit that I almost run out of patience because he woulndn't kiss her. He wouldnt kiss her because , he wanted their first kiss to be real and unforgettable. I've never been swept off my feet. I don't get butterflies. In fact, the whole idea of being swooned by anyone is foreign to me. The real reason I enjoy making out with guys is simply because it makes me feel completely and comfortably numb." Sky, I'm not kissing you tonight but believe me when I tell you, I've never wanted to kiss a girl more. So stop thinking I'm not attracted to you because you have no idea just how much I am. You can hold my hand, you can run your fingers through my hair, you can straddle me while I feed you spaghetti, but you are not getting kissed tonight. And probably not tomorrow, either. I need this. I need to know for sure that you're feeling every single thing that I'm feeling the moment my lips touch yours. Because I want your first kiss to be the best first kiss in the history of first kisses.”

And I swear I will spend every last breath thanking you for allowing yourself to love me.Thank you so much for loving me....."There are some terrible secrets.Secrets which,if they ever come out,will crush Sky's world to pieces.

Colleen Hoover writes beautifully. She always has a way with words that will leave you feeling awed. And just when you think it can’t get anymore emotional and heartbreaking, her writing goes and outdoes itself. But Sky and Dean’s romance takes center stage. Sky initially takes the reins of the story. A girl of seventeen, Sky doesn’t believe in true love or romance, at least not when readers first meet her.Living," I say. The desperation in his eyes eases slightly, and he lets out a short confused laugh. "What?" He shakes his head, trying to understand my response.

There isn't a single thing about this book that I didn't love. It was wonderful, mesmerizing, hypnotizing, heartbreaking and breathtaking at the same time. I couldn't for one second put it down while I was reading it (expect when absolutely necessary off course, but even then the story continued to live on inside my head). I loved all the characters, their sense of humor and their way of living; and I loved the amazing writing style of the author Colleen Hoover. I found myself wanting to highlight almost every passage in it because the words were so beautiful and perfectly chosen. Hopeless was absolutely one of the best books I've read in 2012 and it's a book that will stay with me for very, very long time...

Before I started reading Hopeless, I thought I was ready for everything. The tissues and the chocolate ice-cream were nearby, and the only thing missing was a steel in case I needed to draw an iratze over my heart. It turns out, I was not ready. I was not ready for a book I hated as much as I loved it. The sky is always beautiful. Even when it’s dark or rainy or cloudy, it’s still beautiful to look at. It’s my favorite thing because I know if I ever get lost or lonely or scared, I just have to look up and it’ll be there no matter what...and I know it’ll always be beautiful. Not everyone gets a happily ever after. Life is real and sometimes it's ugly and you just have to learn how to cope.”
