This book does not have a good message. The males all exert their dominance over the females. The young 'hero' forces the female narrator to do things against her stated will....he knows what is best for her. Other characters are far worse, but I really didn't feel good about this 'romantic' relationship. ( )

This is an all consuming book. From the first page to the last. In a way I wish ALL books were.

Such a realness to these characters that each paragraph controlled my breath. From the moments that had me laughing hard, to the ones that gripped the pit of my soul, and my favorites??? the ones that actually stopped my breathing while I experienced Holder and Sky's intoxicating relationship.


Her characters are real. At least you sure as heck wish they were. And lived in your house. And were your only friends. ;) I loved Sky from the 3rd sentence. Sarcasm and quick wit~ two things I can't get enough of. And Holder? Holder had me at "Hey." I dare you not to fall in love with him.
Perfectly imperfect characters. And I could.not.get.enough.

The title in itself is packed with irony because every single thing about this book is...more. I felt this book before I even finished the first chapter. Yes, the story is dark, but this type of beauty doesn't need light to be seen. This type of beauty is meant to be felt, experienced. Hopeless is beautiful and I felt every single part of it.

Colleen Hoover's attention to detail develops the story and gives it life. I'm not talking about detailed descriptions; I'm talking about those small personalized touches that make a story real. Those little pieces that seem completely random until you finally realize that they all fit together perfectly, flawlessly.

and before you ask yes I will read book two maybe even tonight! ( )

At first, when I realized this book's main characters were teenagers in high school, I thought the book would be cheesy and superficial. Just past halfway through the book though, the plot took a huge twist and after that I couldn't put it down! I only gave it 3 stars because it started off a little slow, and I only give 5 stars to my MOST favourite books. ( )

Very good and multi-layered...
On to Part 2! ( )

Colleen Hoover can do no wrong in my eyes! I really enjoy her books. I could not put this book down! and flew through this entire series within two weeks! I had all the feelings while reading this book! happy, sad, confused, mad you name it! I adore sky and her friends so much ( )
