When I finished Hopeless, I was TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY. I was staring blankly at my e-reader trying to process everything and put into words what I really feel about this gorgeous read. Goddds, it took me a month to finally came up with this review. Yes, I still can't get over it until now. The feeling is still there and I always got teary-eyed whenever I think about the story.
HOPELESS is BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN. It was an AMAZING read. I never thought that I would LOVE this book HARD. I kept asking myself why I didn't read it sooner. Coz boy, this is ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!! I LOVED everything about this book. The characters were perfectly depicted and the story line.. WOW just WOW!! It TURNED MY WORLD UPSIDE DOWN! I never felt anything like this before. It was a different experienced.
I adored Sky. What she had been through was heart wrenching. I could feel her pain, the fear, the confusion and betrayal. While reading it, Sky and I became one. My chest tightened and my heart ache with her through those troubled times. I found myself curling like a ball and crying endlessly through it. And Holder.. he's unbelievable! He had he's own demons to fight with and was misunderstood by people who don’t know what he had been through but despite it all,he came up strong. I love Sky and Holder's chemistry. They have a strong connection. They were each other's strength and I love how they remain intact through the mayhem. Despite everything that happened, they stood side by side and faced it all. They were truly destined to be together.
What happened to Sky in the past was happening in real life, people! What she had been through clearly telling us that there will always be a silver lining in every rain cloud. Life is full of pain and struggles but remember that there is always someone out there who would remain by your side and will hold you all throughout.
HOPELESS IS UNDENIABLY COLLEEN HOOVER'S BEST BOOK EVER!! The story was heavy that it consumed me. I can't even remember how many times I had to take a chapter break. And when I read the "revelations" Goodness, I could feel my blood rushing inside me. My heart was beating fast and I was shaking uncontrollably. I was stunned; I didn't saw that one coming. It was a hard blow and I wasn't prepared. This book will surely rock you to the very core. It was like a gaping hole that will leave a mark on you that you will carry on for years.
