Readers say *Hopeless* by Colleen Hoover is an intense, emotional ride with brave, complex characters and a blend of romance, suspense, and mystery. M...
This is one of those books that I finished in 1 sitting never putting it down until I finished.
The great thing about books is that they make you feel. There’s a deep connection that you go through when reading, it’s as if you are experiencing another life. That’s what Colleen Hoover’s books do for me. They make me live through her characters. Hopeless, was no exception. This was a beautiful story that made me laugh out loud (right, sky? Lol) and yes, at times even had me feeling hopeless. There are so many layers to CoHo’s writing that sets her books a part from the rest. The way the storylines mesh and come together in harmony is captivating; but the way she’s able to eloquently explain her thoughts and make the story make sense is an art. Sometimes when a story has so many elements that are involved in a plot, the conclusion or reveal can be convoluted but I’ve never had that issue with CoHo’s books. She’s a master of her art. I love living the lives of the characters she creates. I don’t just like her books. I LIVE her books.
I think out of all colleen hoover books next to my first favorite November 9, this one is a great read! Second fav
Just like some of her other books, just when you think it couldn't get crazier, it does!
What a roller coaster. A great book with some really amazing characters. Some pretty insane twists that threw me.
Highly recommend if you've read any of Rebecca Donovan's Reason to Breathe series. The two main characters remind me of Evan and Emma.
Very addictive, and a mix of romance, suspense and mystery. I love books I can't put down so this was perfect. Onto book 2- Losing Hope.
