I think I'm starting to get a bit bored of this new trend of writing the same story again but from a different POV. I spent a lot of time reading the exact same conversations and wondering what was the point. I did really enjoy learning more about his relationship with his twin sister Lesley and seeing what had driven her to take such drastic action but the majority of the scenes between Holder and Sky were the same ones that we'd already read in Hopeless. I was also hoping we'd get a lot more insight into Holder's past and to a small extent we do but unfortunately we didn't get enough new material to completely hold my interest. When I heard that Colleen Hoover had re-written the story from his point of view I was quite excited to get inside his head and seeing exactly what he was thinking during the pivotal moments. I did find Holder's behaviour was more than a little disturbing at the beginning of the book but after finding out what was going on I could understand his actions. I loved Hopeless when I read it earlier this year, the twist completely took me by surprise and I loved seeing how things unfolded as Sky slowly uncovered the truth about her past. Visit Colleen Hoover's website for more information. In order to move forward Holder must dig deep into his past, and with Sky's help, find the peace that he so desperately needs. īut while Holder can't help falling for Sky, he also can't shake the responsibility he feels, and the new guilt that is thrust upon him.

Until he finds Sky, who is the spitting image of the little girl he let walk away all those years ago, only she doesn't know who he is. Holder can't help blaming himself for Hope's disappearance, and looks for her in every girl he meets. the day his best friend was taken from him. Dean Holder has spent the last thirteen years obsessing over the moment that changed his life forever.

Hopeless losing hope
