You're kidding right?" He leans toward me. "You don't know what an e-reader is?" I shrug. "It still looks like a tiny TV to me." Promise me that you will never lose Hope.” She nods her head as I wipe her tears away with my thumbs. This is a novel that will most certainly appear on my Goodreads Best of List for 2020. This is the second CoHo book that is making the list so far! How about them apples?!? She prepared to battle to save someone she didn't know yet she did, perhaps better than anyone else..

You probably faked passing out the other day, just so you could be carried in my hot, sweaty, manly arms.” This is a quite simply a beautiful story about love and survival. About hope and healing. About life and death. About coping with tragedy and finding forgiveness and peace. About being strong. About being a victim, but also a survivor.This book follows the exact plot line of the first book from a different point of view. Narrated by Holder, our broody leading man from Hopeless, we hear of how he first meets Sky and all the events and unravel thereafter, with a different twist. The story opens with Sky and Six ushering boys into their rooms for a make-out session that soon turns sour, with the boys turned out, and the girls pigging out on ice cream. It is the day before Sky starts her senior year at the high school after years of being home schooled. But she’ll have to tough it out alone, since Six is leaving on a student exchange program to Italy.

I learnt that sometimes it's better not to rush and to just do that thing which lies in between like and love in the dictionary...you know that thing which is a combination of like and love?? Verity follows a struggling writer who accepts an unusual gig: to live in the home of a bestselling author and her husband, tasked with finishing that author's outstanding novels because the famous writer is injured and unable to write. As she rifles through Verity’s office, Lowen Ashleigh finds an unfinished autobiography that reveals a dark family secret. Holder and Sky have some crazy chemistry. They had this unknown connection. Holder is the greatest. Wow. He will make you swoon, make you melt, make you scream, and really just steal your heart. When Sky meets Holder, her life changes. He is the first guy to make her heart skip a beat. The first guy to really make her FEEL. What they had was intense, passionate, and oh-so REAL. Every single thing they went though and did was believable and just made you wish you knew them in person.

How did it end?

I've never been swept off my feet. I don't get butterflies. In fact, the whole idea of being swooned by anyone is foreign to me. The real reason I enjoy making out with guys is simply because it makes me feel completely and comfortably numb." Only a select few readers have anything negative to say about the Hopeless series. But their disregard for the novels is quite strong. So it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that there is no real middle ground with the Hopeless stories. Hopeless follows two young lovers with dark pasts and secrets, who explore first love and ghosts of the past. Sky, a home-schooled and adopted 17-year-old girl, convinces her mother to let her attend public school for her final year, where she reunites with Dean, a childhood friend turned promiscuous popular guy. I squeeze my eyes shut and bury my head into the bed, grabbing fistfuls of the blanket. My shoulders begin to shake as the sobs I’ve been trying to contain violently break out of me. With one swift movement, I stand up, scream, and rip the blanket off the bed, throwing it across the room.
