YA Review: Hopeless (Hopeless #1) by Colleen Hoover

Hopeless (Hopeless #1)
by Colleen Hoover

Description:
Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies…

That’s what seventeen-year-old Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she’s never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of just one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past that she wishes could just stay buried.

Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he’s nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn’t at all who he’s been claiming to be. When the secrets he’s been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky’s life will change forever.


My Review:
I was expecting a blend of teen angst and romance, but this one surprised me with its depth. The love story is intense and satisfying, but underpinning all of it is a deeper mystery.

Despite it being book one of a series, it felt complete in itself. The story tackles some heavy topics, and its characters are broken in more ways than seem apparent at first.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to fans of YA.

I picked this up during a free promotion.
