REVIEW
*sigh* Now that was an amazingly great read. Full of laugh out loud moments paired with swoon worthy romance and a serious issue at heart, Hopeless has easily made my favorites list.
Right off the bat I instantly connected with Skye. The interactions between her and her two best friends really brought out the fun in the book. The interactions between Skye and Holder gave me hot flashes.
The romance was heart stopping, the friendship heartwarming, and the mystery surrounding Sky's past suspense worthy.

Hopeless was a delicious read that kept me enthralled, there was no putting the book down. If everything she writes is this good, I have a feeling I will be going on a Colleen Hoover book spree.
"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."
