Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

5 stars!!!!

 
*I labeled this book as a YA.  The material in this book is for mature readers due to sexual content and heavy subject matter involving abuse.  I wouldn't hand this book to a young teenager in the middle school, but I do feel it is certainly high school age appropriate.
This book is not at all what I expected it to be.  I was afraid it was about a young girl  'hopelessly' in love with some high school boy.  I started reading it and actually then stopped.  With names like 'Sky' and 'Holder', I just thought there wasn't going to be any depth to this book.  I could not have been more wrong.  What a great book!  Hopeless does not mean what I thought it meant after all.  No spoilers here, so I won't tell you what it does mean.  You will just have to read the story to find out!
I hope it is OK to quote a review.  I am new at these reviews and am having a hard time putting how I feel about a book into words.  Lynn's Reads seems to say it perfectly!
"HOPELESS has set the bar for the best first kiss in the history of first kisses.  And the best leading man.  And the best plot twists.  And the best love-making.  And the best last 'chapter.'  I guess it's safe to say this book has set the bar for every book I pick up from here on out." ~Lynn's Reads
