Is it possible to top perfection?
Anyone that knows me knows I LOVE the Slammed series by Colleen Hoover with all my heart. To me that book was perfection and I really didn't think that Colleen would be able to top it. And she didn't top it. No, she double-decker ice cream scoop, hot fudge sauce, whipped cream, and sprinkles topped it.
I am once again amazed at Colleen's ability to bring her characters to life and how they can so easily get under my skin. Sky is strong, brave, but yet a broken young woman. There are many points in the story that have you wondering why something that would bother or embarrass anyone else simply doesn't faze her at all. The reality is that I love that about her. I envy her ability to take life so nonchalantly. I don't, however, envy all that she had to go through and wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. My heart broke for her in many places and I'm still not sure if it is completely put back together.
Holder is....well, Holder is scary. He's scary because he is so damn perfect. Not perfect in a flawless sort of way, because he definitely has his flaws, but perfect in a way that makes you feel protected, in a way that makes you feel secure, and perfect in a way that oozes swoon-worthy masculinity and makes your heart pitter-patter with everything that comes from his mouth. There is no poetry in Hopeless, but Holder's words felt like poetry to me.
Before delving into this book, I didn't read the synopsis and I didn't read any teasers. I simply put my faith in Colleen that she would write something that would blow me away. And she didn't disappoint. So in this review I am not going to give anything about the story away. I simply challenge you to pick it up and start reading.
I have to say that I get to read some pretty amazing books, but every once in a while I get to read something that really grabs me. You know what I mean? The kind of book that you can't stop thinking about for days, weeks, months. Yeah, well this is one of those books for me. I can tell you that HOPELESS is in my Top Five favorite books of this year. I can tell you that Colleen Hoover has written yet another heart gripping story. I can tell you...that you will want to read this book.
Now, maybe I had a disadvantage, I don't know, but I watched the story come to life. I got to fall in love with the characters as they were written. It's such an incredible process to watch. Sky and Holder quickly became a part of my life, my heart, and my mind.
For me, Sky was the kind of character that I immediately liked. She's funny, sarcastic, intelligent, and strong. Gosh is she strong. I understood her and the way she thinks. Now as the story developed, my heart broke for her. However, her resilience was inspiring.
Dean Holder...be still my heart. I'll tell you what, Holder is without a doubt one of the best book boys I've read about. Holder is complex, loving, temperamental, and selfless. He's a fixer, a problem solver and is very passionate about those that he loves. When Holder entered the scene, I knew right away that there was something special about him. He comes off a bit gruff at first, but as you get to know him, you see the truly caring person that he is.
I almost can't write about Sky and Holder individually, because they truly are a couple. In every sense. They compliment each other well and the connection they share is undeniable. Holder respected the boundaries that Sky had.
