THIS BOOK IS INCREDIBLE, RAW, HONEST, HEARTFELT, MOVING and EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER HOPE FROM A NOVEL!!!!!
“Life is real and sometimes it’s ugly and you just have to learn how to cope�
If you haven’t read this, don’t just put this in your shelves!! as in CAPSLOCK READ THIS NOW!!!
I do enjoy some cutesy, mushy young adult novels. But then there are just some that you hold dear in your heart because you know it changed you, made you shed tears you never expected, and made you realize so so much.
HOPELESS gave me so much hope in so many ways�
Sky has a simple life. She is a girl everyone can relate to. She has some issues in life like a normal teenager. But everything turns upside down when the temperamental and swoony HOT BOD shows up.
“He’s one of those guys you know. The incredibly gorgeous guys who can have anyone, anytime, anywhere and they know it? The guys that, all they have to do is flash a crooked smile or a dimple and ask a girl her name and she melts until she’s on her knees in front of him? The guys that spend their Saturday nights climbing through windows?�
“I saw a guy at the store after school, and holy shit, Six. He was beautiful. Scary, but beautiful�.as soon as I looked at him, it was like my entire body melted to the floor. He was... Wow.�
Dean Holder. Yup he is THAT guy. I’m dying to talk about him because it’s a crime not to. I mean, what’s the point of making a review if he isn’t in it?
**SQUEEEEEEE!!**
Oh. YES. Totally Fangirl-worthy....
Holder has a bad rep, the rude boy whom every girl must steer clear of. He may be sound like a bad boy cliché but I assure you he definitely isn’t!
Both characters are adorable, broken but not beyond repair. I FELT them, their deep connection, their loss, their hurt, their love for each other. Sky and Holder represent every person out there who needs courage to go through life. And I know we all do. They made me see that you can’t let other people define who you are because what matters is what you think of yourself.
AND � I am drawn to their relationship! I love their banters. Their so funny and cute together it’s hard not to burst into the giddiest squeal whenever Holder says some cheesy pick up line or when he’s being so cocky I wanted to give him some ego-inflating text. But he’s always been by her side. He’s so sweet and he loves Sky so much that it pains me to see how hurt he is when she should be the one feeling it.
“Fuck all the firsts, Sky. The only thing that matters to me with you are the forevers.�
This is not just your average romance story. The writing is utterly engaging. It was so smoothly written I couldn’t put it down! I was laughing one moment, then I was in total shock, and the next thing I know I am crying my heart out. It was an AMAZING experience! I actually have so many lines highlighted in my copy. I would’ve shared them all but I just don’t want to spoil them.
I am in awe of the author because� boy! I was hooked! …AGAIN! I am absolutely in love with “Slammed� and “Point of Retreat� but then this book just proves how right I am to put the author on a pedestal whenever I think of her.I live you! I love you! LOL Colleen Hoover! Every fiber of my being is screaming “I want more of your works!�
This is a great read EVERYONE!

“The moment my lips touch yours, it will be your first kiss. Because if you've never felt anything when someone's kissed you, then no one's ever really kissed you. Not the way I plan on kissing you.”
― Hopeless

“Sky, I'm not kissing you tonight but believe me when I tell you, I've never wanted to kiss a girl more. So stop thinking I'm not attracted to you because you have no idea just how much I am. You can hold my hand, you can run your fingers through my hair, you can straddle me while I feed you spaghetti, but you are not getting kissed tonight. And probably not tomorrow, either. I need this. I need to know for sure that you're feeling every single thing that I'm feeling the moment my lips touch yours. Because I want your first kiss to be the best first kiss in the history of first kisses.”

“You wanted to lick my face the first time you saw me? Is that usually what you do when you’re attracted to guys?�
I shake my head. “Not your face, your dimple. And no. You’re the only guy I’ve ever had the urge to lick.�
He smiles at me confidently. “Good. Because you’re the only girl I’ve ever had the urge to love.”

“Sky, if you’re wondering if I have commitment issues, the answer is no. Someday in the far, far, far away future…like post-college future…when I propose to you…which I will be doing one day because you aren’t getting rid of me…I won’t be marrying you with the hope that our marriage will work out. When you become mine, it’ll be a forever thing. I’ve told you before that the only thing that matters to me with you are the forevers, and I mean that.”

“And while I could sit here and feel sorry for myself, wondering why all of this happened to me..I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to wish for a perfect life. The things that knock you down in life are tests, forcing you to make a choice between giving in and remaining on the ground or wiping the dirt off and standing up even taller than you did before you were knocked down. I'm choosing to stand taller. I'll probably get kicked down a few more times before this life is through with me, but I can guarantee you I'll never stay on the ground.”

“All marriages have a time limit if you enter them for the wrong reasons. Marriage doesn't get easier...it only gets harder. If you marry someone hoping it will improve things, you might as well set your timer the second you say, 'I do.”

“When I touch you, I’m touching you because I want to make you happy. When I kiss you, I’m kissing you because you have the most incredible mouth I’ve ever seen and you know I can’t not kiss it. And when I make love to you—I’m doing exactly that. I’m making love to you because I’m in love with you.”
