Book Review: (SPOILER FREE)

Title & Author- Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover

Genre- New Adult, Teen Fiction, Contemporary, Romance

Rating- 4.5/5

Synopsis- "In Hopeless, Sky left no secret unearthed, no feeling unshared, and no memory forgotten, but Holder’s past remained a mystery.

Still haunted by the little girl he let walk away, Holder has spent his entire life searching for her in an attempt to finally rid himself of the crushing guilt he has felt for years. But he could not have anticipated that the moment they reconnect, even greater remorse would overwhelm him…

Sometimes in life, if we wish to move forward, we must first dig deep into our past and make amends. In Losing Hope, bestselling author Colleen Hoover reveals what was going on inside Holder’s head during all those hopeless moments—and whether he can gain the peace he desperately needs."

Review- There isn't much I have to say about this book. I absolutely loved Hopeless (the book before this one)- I gave it a full 5/5! After reading it, I immediately picked up Losing Hope thinking it was a continuation. Unfortunately, I was wrong and I had different expectations for the book. Don't get me wrong, I still really enjoyed it! Losing Hope was told from Holder's point of view; you were able to get glimpses of his life and of his side of their story. My problem was because I read the two stories back to back, much of the dialogue in the first book appeared in the second. It didn't feel like its own unique book. I understand it's the same story, but I was expecting more from their past, or different details of happened during their present, or what happens in their future. Like I said, it was still a very enjoyable read! I would just recommend you space out some time in-between reading both books.
