About this listen

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.

Much deeper then expected

The story was much deeper and darker then expected. I purchased the book as an add on promo to another book and the first half of it had me wondering if Id picked up a teen romance novel but as the story evolved there was so much more depth to it.

Melodramatic

I'm not sure why I listened right to the end because the over-the-top teenage love drama was challenging to get through. But I'm glad I did finish because the last few chapters almost redeemed. So 3 stars overall from me.

Stuck with it but it was a tough listen

This book was very difficult to stay interested in. The storyline moved very slowly and the narrator’s voice was hard to listen to.

Dragged out but good premise

I enjoyed the story but found it to have been dragged out. I enjoyed the narration. There was a couple of times that I contemplated not finishing because it was just repetition and drawn out conversations that I doubt would happen with two young kids. I skipped in several places just to get through the first part. Once it got going, I kept going. Would not be interested in reading the story from Dean's point of view.

Wow

This book is amazing. The story which at first seemed light turned deep and jaw dropping. Very raw. An amazing read, but most definitely not a light read once you get about 1/3 of the way through. A great book to listen to via audible.
