5 Hopeful Life Changing Stars!

There are moments in a Gal’s existence that are life changing. Those moments happened for me when I become a CoHo Fan. So I am going to admit something here.. which some of you may have an inkling about. I am not exactly a believer in true love, soul mates or happily ever afters. I was married once and well, I thought I had my fairytale. Turns out I didn’t.. Turns out I was living anything but. That said, I’ve never been a schmoopy kind of gal. I’m just not all that romantic. I know, I know, some of you might be a little shocked about that since for these last 14 -16 months or so, my book buddy Kaceey and I have been reading a lot of rom coms and women’s fiction�� and well, sometimes, a book or two gets me going there for a bit. Then I discovered CoHo.. and her books are different. Ranging from a variety of different topics and involving characters from all walks of life, at different stages of life, somehow, she just got me. When her books involve characters in their most formidable teenage years, for some reasons, they strike a chord and that is when I become Hopeful ...when I remember a time when I did in fact believe.

Oddly enough, “Hopeless�� struck more than one chord with me. It is real, true and difficult and so darn right in every way that matters. After all, as we all know, no one ever said that life was easy, or fair.

“Not everyone gets a happily ever after. Life is real and sometimes it's ugly and you just have to learn how to cope.��

This novel brings you right back to High School and makes you remember the best of times and the worst of times. That raw heartache, the pain and the euphoria of firsts. First looks. First smiles. First time you held hands. First kisses.. and well, so much more ��.(if, of course you went there, lol..)

Sky has never known what it means to be a “normal�� teenager. Home schooled since she was a child, living in a home without electronics and with no access to a phone or the internet, her only link to the “outside�� is her best friend Six, who is planning to do a semester abroad. Now that Sky has convinced her mother to allow her to go to public school for her Senior Year of High School, Sky will finally feel what it’s like to be like everyone else. If only there weren’t rumors surrounding her before she steps foot into High School for the first time.

Dean Holder is known as the bad boy. Suspended from school at the beginning of his Junior Year, Holder hasn’t been seen for an entire year.. till he has a run in with Sky and sparks fly. There is chemistry and then there is Chemistry. One look at her and Holder could swear he’s seen a ghost. Whatever it is, he knows that he has to see her again.

If only life was easy. What happens next. Yet life is always filled with surprises.

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

“Hopeless�� by Colleen Hoover is both schmoopy and swoonworthy. If you haven’t read it yet, your heart will soar and it will be torn in two. Once twice, a thousand times over. Holder is that guy you wish you’d dated in High School. If some of you dated a guy like him, all I can say is: Lucky!

This is a novel that will most certainly appear on my ŷ������ Best of List for 2020. This is the second CoHo book that is making the list so far! How about them apples?!?
