Publisher's Summary

Would you rather know a truth that makes you feel hopeless, or keep believing the lies? Beloved and bestselling author Colleen Hoover returns with the spellbinding story of two young people with devastating pasts who embark on a passionate, intriguing journey to discover the lessons of life, love, trust--and above all, the healing power that only truth can bring.

Sky, a senior in high school, meets Dean Holder, a guy with a promiscuous reputation that rivals her own. From their very first encounter, he terrifies and captivates her. Something about him sparks memories of her deeply troubled past, a time she's tried so hard to bury.

Though Sky is determined to stay far away from him, his unwavering pursuit and enigmatic smile break down her defenses and the intensity of the bond between them grows. But the mysterious Holder has been keeping secrets of his own, and once they are revealed, Sky is changed forever and her ability to trust may be a casualty of the truth.

Only by courageously facing the stark revelations can Sky and Holder hope to heal their emotional scars and find a way to live and love without boundaries. Hopeless is a novel that will leave you breathless, entranced, and remembering your own first love.

Not sure about this one...mild spoilers

Starts as a steamy romance, ends as a book about trauma. It sort of read like two distinctly different stories. The love interest is initially a sexy bad boy, then misunderstood, then utterly perfect in every way. Sex and sexual trauma mixed together felt off for me.

Wow

This book is amazing. The story which at first seemed light turned deep and jaw dropping. Very raw. An amazing read, but most definitely not a light read once you get about 1/3 of the way through. A great book to listen to via audible.

Melodramatic

I'm not sure why I listened right to the end because the over-the-top teenage love drama was challenging to get through. But I'm glad I did finish because the last few chapters almost redeemed. So 3 stars overall from me.

Disappointed

Definitely reads like a melodramatic teen romance, the story felt long, drawn out and predictable. It was hard to get through. The audio recording was choppy at times.

An interesting mix

In the end, I am glad I read this book. It had a pretty good storyline. Some triggering/difficult to hear content. Some reviewers said that it was a bit young adult, but it brought me back to the days of my first love. There were parts where it was a bit much though. Overall, worth your time.
