Would you rather know a truth that makes you feel hopeless, or keep believing the lies? Beloved and bestselling author Colleen Hoover returns with the spellbinding story of two young people with devastating pasts who embark on a passionate, intriguing journey to discover the lessons of life, love, trust – and above all, the healing power that only truth can bring. Sky, a senior in high school, meets Dean Holder, a guy with a promiscuous reputation that rivals her own. From their very first encounter, he terrifies and captivates her. Something about him sparks memories of her deeply troubled past, a time she’s tried so hard to bury. Though Sky is determined to stay far away from him, his unwavering pursuit and enigmatic smile break down her defenses and the intensity of the bond between them grows. But the mysterious Holder has been keeping secrets of his own, and once they are revealed, Sky is changed forever and her ability to trust may be a casualty of the truth. Only by courageously facing the stark revelations can Sky and Holder hope to heal their emotional scars and find a way to live and love without boundaries. Hopeless is a novel that will leave you breathless, entranced, and remembering your own first love. Review: Hopeless was Hopeful :) - 17 year old Sky lives with her Mum Karen and has lived a pretty sheltered life due to her being home schooled and her mums dislike for technology. As her best friend Six puts it, she makes the Amish look trendy!! After much persuading from Sky and Six Karen allows Sky to experience her final year of education in a mainstream high school. A chance encounter with another student Dean Holder at has Sky feeling things she never thought possible, and memories she thought were lost begin to resurface. Holder has his own issues and secrets and at times scares Sky but then at the same time she can't stop herself wanting to be with him. When Holders secrets start unraveling some startling truths are revealed which for Sky mean her life will never be the same again!! One of my book friends wrote that reading a Colleen Hoover book is an emotional experience because she builds you up, tears you down and then builds you back up again!! This is my first Colleen Hoover book and I couldn't agree with my friend more. The story builds you up and started out making me think it was a coming of age book, I expected a girl who has lead a sheltered life being shown a sample of the real world with it's cruelness and beauty. The characters were perfection, I instantly liked Sky she was cute, funny and quirky. Her best friends Six and Breckin were amazing side kicks bringing that light relief and comic timing to certain situations. Holder, WOW!! *swoon* !! I feel like he needs his own review. He was a perfect mix of perfection and bad boy. Whilst he was flawed himself he always said the most perfect things. He made me wish he was real and I was eighteen again, I live you Holder :) "Let me inform you of something," he says in a low voice. "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." The chemistry between Sky and Holder jumped of the page, I loved them together. The love scenes between them were so real, tender and emotionally charged which made them even more special and OMG the non kiss was pure sizzle!! The story tears you down as secrets are revealed and pasts are realized it brought out all kinds of emotions in me as a reader. One minute I was OMG ing, the next I was crying and then I was hopeful. The story builds you back up again but not by putting a pretty bow on the top and saying they live happily ever after but by giving hope they are survivors and you leave them with the feeling they will get through it all, and to be honest I was left feeling a little inspired by these beautiful characters. "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 even taller than you did before you were knocked down. I'm choosing to stand up taller" My only complaint would be that there was no epilogue and I'm a total sucker for a epilogue. I felt so invested in all the characters I just wanted more!! Maybe a tiny glimpse into the future so I knew they were all going to be ok :) Before you start reading this stunning book I would like to give you some advice. Clear your day, once you start this book you will not want to put it down!! I would also recommend you have tissues and chocolate handy :) Review: Why did I wait so long to read this book? - I don't think I have the capacity to put into words what to say about this story and Coleen Hoover. I don't think I can do it justice. It has been on my to be read list since the comments started to flow on the desertcart discussion board. I opened the first page and it was titled - Sunday, October 28th - 7.29. I was hooked. I started reading it at 13.13 and finished it 22.45 pm. I read it whilst I was making our tea, I didn't have any conversation with my husband. I just read it. Coleen Hoover just blew me away with this story. "I will not cry the indescribable pain that follows and rips out your heart and gut. I hate you, I hate you I hate you and I combust". When I read this I instantly thought "what has Holder done to her?" is this what the story is going to be about? Young love? Has he broken her heart? As I started to read I could not have foreseen the twist that was coming or the intense subject matter. After been taught at home for years Sky is now finishing her last year at a "real school" Sky is quiet, reserved and her "Mom" has not allowed her to won own a mobile phone, have access to the internet or Facebook. She has only had one true friend 6, her neighbour. Sky does not care about the bitches that she meets at school not matter how hard they try to get under her skin. Sky could not care less about them. They didn't matter. But Sky makes one friend at school, Breckin a gay Mormon and then enter Dean "Holder" - OMG Holder. Hopeless is an incredible story that is layered with many emotions, secrets and pain and at times is it gut wrenching dark but she also blends it with some light hearted moments and I laughed out loud at the banter between Holder and Sky. Colleen Hoover has a tremendous gift. Her writing skill is eloquent, strong and very appealing and her stories just suck you in. You feel the hurt and the pain that these characters had to shoulder and as the story unfolds it just takes hold of your heart. If you have this on your "to be read" list then put it to the top. You won't be disappointed. It is heart wrenchingly wonderful and deserves more than 5 stars. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 2,555 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 46 in Erotic Romance (Books) 303 in Romantic Suspense (Books) 884 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 83,649 Reviews | ## Images ![Hopeless: From the bestselling author of IT ENDS WITH US - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qVoXEMfZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hopeless was Hopeful :) *by L***D on 22 January 2013* 17 year old Sky lives with her Mum Karen and has lived a pretty sheltered life due to her being home schooled and her mums dislike for technology.

It was a real rollercoaster of emotions and the development of the relationship between Sky and Holder was lovely, Holder was perfect ( but not in that oh look all the women love him he's so gorgeous,but he only has eyes for me ...like some many in this genre), Sky was strong female charector (which is rare in romance type books) I've given it a 4 out of 5, because this rating system is hard to judge, it would really be good if you coould rate in accordance to genre aswell, because if i was comparing it to other YA/romance type books then it would be a 5. However because its against all type of books its a 4 maybe even a 3.5 for those who prefer more than escape in their reading. I would really recommend this book if you like the genre. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hopeless - Atria Books Losing Hope - Simon & Schuster All Your Perfects --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/51095314-hopeless-from-the-bestselling-author-of-it-ends-with-us](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/51095314-hopeless-from-the-bestselling-author-of-it-ends-with-us) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
