Description:
In the follow-up to Colleen Hoover’s #1 New York Times bestseller Hopeless, the charming
and irresistible Dean Holder tells the passionate story that has melted thousands of hearts.

In Hopeless, Sky left no secret unearthed, no feeling unshared, and no memory forgotten, but
Holder’s past remained a mystery.

Still haunted by the little girl he let walk away, Holder has spent his entire life searching for her in
an attempt to finally rid himself of the crushing guilt he has felt for years. But he could not have
anticipated that the moment they reconnect, even greater remorse would overwhelm him…

Sometimes in life, if we wish to move forward, we must first dig deep into our past and make
amends. In Losing Hope, bestselling author Colleen Hoover reveals what was going on inside
Holder’s head during all those hopeless moments—and whether he can gain the peace he
desperately needs.

Holy hell. HOLY. HELL.

I can't stop living, breathing and feeling this story. Losing Hope was just absolute, beautiful
perfection.

I thought I already loved Dean with all my heart, but now I love him more. So. Much. More. I now
understand every part of him. Everything he experienced, I went through it with him. The
bracelet... finding the letter... needing space... needing her. Finding her. Wow.

I felt this book with every single part of my heart and soul. I swear, it owns a piece of me now.

Holy hell. HOLY. HELL.

I can't stop living, breathing and feeling this story. Losing Hope was just absolute, beautiful
perfection.

I thought I already loved Dean with all my heart, but now I love him more. So. Much. More. I now
understand every part of him. Everything he experienced, I went through it with him. The
bracelet... finding the letter... needing space... needing her. Finding her. Wow.

I felt this book with every single part of my heart and soul. I swear, it owns a piece of me now.

It. Was. Perfect.

So much of Losing Hope is new. It's not just an alternate perspective, it's actually a whole different
part of the story entirely. But if you piece it together with Hopeless, you just get EVERYTHING.

Losing Hope took me through all the same emotions of Hopeless but they were magnified
because every single thing that happened now carried the weight of the emotion you already knew
from Hopeless PLUS the new emotions created by all the new things we learned in Losing Hope
about Holder.

This is Holder's story. You need to understand just how much I mean those words. This is HIS
story. This isn't just Hopeless from Holder's POV, this is his story during Hopeless, his story before
Hopeless, and his story apart from Hopeless.
We see a lot of his past - it's heart breaking and devastating but we live it with him. I went through
everything with him. I felt his anger, his loss, his fears. When he fucked up, I cringed. When he
was happy, my heart overflowed.

You know, it's funny 'cuz you think you know a character. I mean, after reading the whole of
Hopeless, I really felt like I knew him. But now I'm just realizing that there was so much more
going on. And I loved that it didn't change him, just... I guess connected me with him more.

There were times when I had to just stop and read a single sentence over and over again because
it was so beautifully written. There were scenes that gave me full body chills - from head to toe.
There were moments where I just closed my eyes and sat there sobbing, letting the emotions sink
in.

I read Losing Hope as slowly as I could because I just didn't want it to ever end. I was WITH the
characters every single step of the way. Totally connected. Totally involved. Totally absorbed in
every aspect of the story.

I didn't just read this book, I lived it.

I have to say that in all honesty, even though I knew all the twists from reading Hopeless, each
one of them hit me as though it was the first time in Losing Hope. Probably because it wasn't as
though I was just re-reading them, I was actually re-experiencing them through Holder's eyes. And
I loved that there were new twists too - things that were going on with just him personally that took
me by surprise in the most wonderful way.

While so much of this book is just completely new, even the scenes that are the same as in
Hopeless feel SO special when you read them because a) they are just awesome scenes to relive
period, and b) the slightly different angle on them gives them just enough of a twist to make you
fall in love with them all over again.

Colleen Hoover's talent for writing vivid and effortlessly beautiful stories is astounding. The level of
emotions conveyed in each chapter just took my breath away over and over again. She has a gift
for bringing everything to life with her words and can write even the simplest scene in such a way
that the words just sink right into your heart.

Pain. Devastation. Love. Loss. Hope. Losing Hope. Finding Hope. Closure. This book has it all.

When I was finished reading I just sat there hugging my book, letting the emotions sink it, letting
the tears flow, and letting myself just FEEL.

This is a must-read for every fan of Hopeless. It truly completes that story.
I can't wait for the world to really meet Dean Holder

6 stars - A must read of 2013!

FAVORITE QUOTES

“What are the chances that the only two girls in my life I’ve ever loved… I’ve lost? It’s
killing me piece by piece every single day.”

“Thirteen years. I’ve been looking for her for thirteen years… I’m not sure that I’m ready for
her to remember me yet.”

“It’s causing my hands to shake and my heart to pound and my chest to ache because all I
want to do is wrap my arms around her and hold her and thank God we finally found each
other again.”

“If I could trade lives with her I would do it in a heartbeat, just so she’d never have to feel
what it is she’s feeling right now.”

“I’m scared if I kiss her too soon, it’ll feel like every other kiss she’s ever received. She’ll
feel nothing. I don’t want her to feel nothing when I kiss her. I want her to feel everything.”

“I let everything I’m seeing sink in because this is what I want to remember the most. I want
to remember exactly what she looks like the second she hands over a piece of her heart.”
“Fuck all the firsts, Sky. The only thing that matter to me with you are the forevers.”

I'll admit, this is kinda how I'm feeling right now:
