Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies…
That’s what seventeen-year-old Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she’s never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of just one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past that she wishes could just stay buried.
Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he’s nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn’t at all who he’s been claiming to be. When the secrets he’s been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky’s life will change forever.
An amazing and breathtaking journey reading Hopeless. After finish this book at 3:25 AM, I was seriously gutted. I was totally didn't expect the book would be like that. The truth is I accidentally saw the spoilers of this book and it makes me reluctant to read it. However, I did not feel remorse because the spoilers that I've read just a little part of it and was not nearly what I had thought in this book. Unexpected as it is.. This was a story about first love, truth and lies and a brave f**king girl. Just as the tagline of Hopeless, "Would you rather know a truth that makes you feel hopeless, or keep believing the lies?" This time, Colleen Hoover write another book totally different from Slammed but still has unique issue to handle. It devastated for the heroine after learned the truth and lies about life but she did not give up on her quest for the truth. A brave girl.
Linden Sky Davis. She is a person who doesn't care what people thinks about her, non-technology exposé, home-schooled by her mother, Karen, has a best friend named, Six and didn't have feelings on love. Weird right when you have character's names as Sky and Six? Every questions has their answers and these answers can be known by read the book. ;) She cannot experience love relationship because been home-schooled for 17 years, literally not expose with school environment and boys except Six as they're neighbors. Six introduced some boys to Sky but still, cannot experience that feeling. Her life starts to change when her mother give her permission to go to school as a senior and that first day, she met Holder. I was intrigued by their first met because it certainly gives a mysterious vibe on Holder at the beginning and until the climax of the book.
Dean Holder~ I don't know how to describe Holder. Holder was a bad boy in this book. I always compare him with Travis from Beautiful Disaster at first part of the book but after few chapters, there was a reason behind Dean Holder. He was passionate. Passionate about life. I really want to hug Holder after some tragedies happen in his life and these tragedies made him now, as Sky said "Intense". Love Holder. ♥♥♥
This book has little things that we said cliche because we literally can figure out while reading this book but I'm wrong. I cried when the truth came up at the climax and how that little things can make a big picture/impact in Sky and Holder's life. After climax was my favorite part of the book because how their relationship take a U-turn into the past and to confront the truth and lies for the future. I like both characters development Colleen Hoover write in this book. It makes them brave enough to face the reality of their lives. How Holder never give up on Sky when she knows the truth. They both destined to be together. :) One of Sky's quote when she described Holder as hopeless boy..
"I don't know how this hopeless boy weaseled his way into my life this week, but I know I'm definitely not ready for him to leave."
"Oh inside me
I find my way
Back to you
Back to you"
End note: Get ready for the lies and the truths in life. Everybody lies for the sake of someone we love. It's our choice whether to believe the truth or the lies that can shake our core. "Truth is stranger than fiction." ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆
My dream cast of Hopeless are Jeremy Irvine as Holder and Shailene Woodley as Sky. This time, it was hard to choose which actors/actresses that suit Holder and Sky because this is the first time I met Sky's character. So, this is it.
