Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

 
Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies...

That's what 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 one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past 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.

Um, wow! This is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this book.  I couldn't put it down. I cried, laughed, and did alittle of both at the same time while reading this book.  I have to say that this is one of the most intense books I have read in a very long time and I suggest if you haven't read it yet, that you need to move it to the top of your book list like NOW! Where do I even begin.  I just never saw the direction this book was going until near the end.  Usually I can read something and be like I know how this is going to go... but this book wasn't like that.  Sky is such a strong character and I love her to death!  She never seems to give up even when everything seems to crash down on her she picks herself back up and keeps facing the problem.  All I can say about Holder is can I have one?  But seriously, his character is also so strong and intense.  You don't get his POV in the book but it's never hard to figure out what he's thinking or going to do because Colleen Hoover is just that good of a writer and makes you feel like the characters are real and it's a scene playing out in front of you or something.  This book was so well written that I didn't even find a written error while reading it... and that's rare.  I usually always find some small mistake (nothing major just small words mispelled or something like that) but with this book I didn't find any and it made it even easier to get lost in the pages.  I give this book 5 stars ***** even though it deserves so much more.  I bought it on my kindle but I've already ordered it for my bookshelf as well because it will be picked up time and time again.  It will also be one that I don't loan out to friends :).... it might be gifts but they won't be reading or messing up mine!  Fair warning though, you should at least be 17+ for this book not just because of the sexual content but because of abuse content.  It's for mature readers for sure.  Either way if you haven't read this yet don't wait any longer because you are missing out!  It just became one of my all time favorites.
