I’m a little late to the party since i just finished this book and was looking up reviews. I must say, girl your review was SPOT ON!!🙌🏼 I absolutely agree with all of your points and how you felt about it. I have also read a lot of CH’s books and this one was not enjoyable to me at all. You also described it exactly how I envisioned it as well and this was so great for me to watch and relate to you! Thank you for this, you are wonderful!💛
As a person who absolutely loved this book, I’d like to thank you so much for expressing your thoughts so honestly!! I really understand your point of view and to be honest, it makes me glad to see that other people don’t enjoy all of Colleen’s books either. I’ve read almost all of her books and there were some that I HATED but it embarrasses me to say so, because I feel like everyone always just loves her and that I’m not allowed to express critique. So thank you for this video, I really appreciate you coming forward with your opinion like this. :)
I loved this book. Yes, it was nauseating and uncomfortable. It was tough to read because it got so dark . However, it didn’t become a negative thing to me. I kept reading because there are people that may have gone through the same thing and i felt like i was experiencing what they were experiencing. And it was tough. To me, yes it was uncomfortable but maybe that’s how you would feel and even worse; if you were going through that experience in real life. Idk! It was hard but I enjoyed it. Losing hope was really good. It was holders perspective and more things were revealed there. That one gives you some kind of closure. I’m onto finding Cinderella now. Thank you for your review! It’s ok to see how books come off differently for some people. Some people like it some people don’t and that’s ok :)
Can we also talk about how I can no longer enjoy in any book when the hero calls the heroine "princess" like I used to be fine with it but now I cringe
Ohh your take is so interesting! I completely see where you're coming from, but I absolutely adored this book! I thought it was so well written. I wouldn't worry too much about reading Losing Hope as it's just from Holder's perspective, but Finding Cinderella was such a good novella and has a completely different storyline!
I went through something similar to sky. I figured out what it was as soon as she said she didn’t feel anything when she tried things with boys because that’s what happens to me. But imo I thing Colleen should have chosen one trauma and if she chose the abuse, don’t make it so on the nose. I went for this book completely blind and it triggered me to the point where it unblocked memories. I agree with everything you said
Oh no, I actually really liked this book! I mean don’t get me wrong the subject matter was hard to read and I didn’t enjoy the characters going through it but I thought it was quite well written. I do highly recommend you read Finding Cinderella the novella, that book was sooooo good. And nothing like this book, just some character overlap but I got all the feels in that book 🥰 and yes you have to read All Your Perfects but man now that book was emotional and broke me
I read this book ages ago and at the time I liked it but now I’m just weirded out by thinking about it. It was taken too far. Anyways please don’t let this demotivate you to read all your perfects. That book was everything and more. And if you’re worried about the easter eggs there is nothing mentioned in the book itself, it’s just that the novella finding cinderella has six as the main lead and finding perfect is connected to it.
I have to agree with you saying it was so slow!! I got like 100 pages in and kept thinking what the heck is the point of this story. When I finished I definitely liked it but it was a little far fetched!
Hopeless has been the only book by Coleen Hoover that I've read and that was 10 years ago, so in 2013. I was 18 years old back then, now I'm 28. I remember that I REALLY liked this book, maybe because it was very dramatic and at that time in my life I was reading a lot of books of that same genre. I'm not interested in reading y.a. books anymore, I prefer to either read books about my work or more "sophisticate" books (I'm currently reading "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker).
This was the second book from colleen Hoover that I read I did fly through it but it's not one of my favorites also the book triggered me because the book deals with some dark issues
READ IT I’m reading it right now and it’s the most beautiful book I’ve read . The relationship is so warm and deep it’s so bright even when it’s so dark .
I feel EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. I felt so uncomfy the whole second half of the book and felt weird like giving it a high rating bc of the topic and how detailed it was but it’s still coho and her writing is SO GOOD. it left me feeling sad, emotionally drained, a little scared and confused.
Everyone has there own opinion But I personally love the book so much it's an amazing wonderful book .see the book from a different perspectives you will maybe understand how I feel
This was my favorite book hands down. Why? Because this is real life for some people. Life isn’t pretty. It made me feel emotions that I hadn’t felt in years. I was sobbing. Heavy stuff fr
I read Verity first then It Ends with us. The best thing to do for each book of hers is to take each book as a package even the series. It's great reading like that with hers. I'm halfway through this. I've read 2.5 CH books plus half of another authored book in 8 days. Personally I love her. After a decade of not really reading. I've fallen in love with reading again and it's fantastic. Another author people may like if you like her is Tully by Paullina Simons.
I love Colin's books very much, 🔥🔥 but this book, I don't know, was a lot. The story was definitely emotional, but the book as a whole was not the best for me. 💔
I hated the book but it hit me on a completely different level. It's been over 6 years and I still remember how invalidating the plot twist felt for me, because at the time I was reading the book I was slowly connecting the dots that I might be ace and at first I loved the story cause I found Sky very relatable, only to discover that she was never meant to be "normal" as she was and everything was, obviously, caused by trauma 💔
If you are not good at reading this kind of stuff I don't recommend you to read "A Little Life", or generally Japanese writers that have famous books in western society. It will really mess you up. What you read in Hopeless feels like a walk in the park compared to Japanese literature.
Its hard to read but these things have to be written and talked about, its sad but CoHo did an amazing job of what something like this can do to someone and it's nice having stuff out there like this so people don't feel alone. You may view it as wrong but there may be someone out there who needed to see how sky overcame everything that happened to her.
This book was the first booked I ever read and what got me into reading so idk I actually love this book, but I need to reread i guess since I read it like 5 years ago 😅.
What happened to sky happened to me as a child and my best friend took her life same as Leslie for similar reasons, I I love the sky and count when I’m scared lol I’ve never related to a character more but the writing style made me cringe
Sorry you didn't like it. I read it years ago before a ton of hype and it happens to be one of my top 4 from her, along w/ It Ends with Us, Ugly Love & Maybe Someday. Maybe it's weird to admit that, but I love it, no matter how heavy it gets. I don't know how I read CoHo's Too Late, then Hopeless, then It Ends With Us after its release, all back to back. That was a lot. I happen to love every Colleen book in different degrees. Since you didn't like this one, I'm not sure you would be able to handle the graphic intensity of Too Late, though it's got some Verity-esque suspense & every bad thing is condemned. And the way All Your Perfects connects is through the novellas Finding Cinderella (about her friend Six and Holder's friend Daniel) & then Finding Perfect (to be read after AYP), bringing couples of both worlds together.
@@blane1814 So Hopeless & Losing Hope follow the same story of Sky and (Dean) Holder, then there's the novella, Finding Cinderella, that's about Six (Sky's friend) & Daniel (Holder's friend). All Your Perfects was released way later as a standalone, but she then wrote the novella Finding Perfect, which is from Daniel's pov after all the previous books, and he & Six meet Quinn & Graham. There's a line or so in AYP about Six knowing Quinn's sister. It's so cool!
I agree with the not the time and not the place that they fed after all the trauma but I actually liked the thought process that made sky want that because it was relatable. After I realized I had gotten abused when I was a young teen I got super sexual w anyone that I could and I got why she would want to yk. Although maybe not after he blew his head off lmao
This is my favorite Colleen Hoover book. I understand it’s deep and traumatic but I don’t see how trauma or deep topics are gross or disgusting…nobody says It Ends With Us is gross or disgusting with those topics. I’ve never had a book affect me how this one did. It makes me sad so many people don’t like it here 🥺 (the only scene I disagree with was that hotel scene) that’s okay though because I know people love Reminders of Him and I see it as problematic. Also I feel like if people read this and think it’s too much they’ve never actually read a DEEP topic book.
some people just have different thresholds for books . its not that people have never read deep books , its just that were all comfortable with our own things 😭
OMG I remember this being the first Colleen Hoover book I ever read when I was in like early high school. I do NOT remember it being that twisted 😬😬😬 that’s insane. WTF.
Girlll I have not read this book but you are a fan of Penelope Douglas so if you call something “gross” I believe you (she makes me clutch my pearls)!!! If it’s too much for you then it’s too much. I’ll pass on this book…
I love Collen Hoover and her books..but that being said this book was an absolute No-No. The plot seemed like to be just compacted with traumas and it lost its essence as a story. I didnt enjoy the constant twists that came along with it.
It’s the way I literally just finished this book like 20 minutes ago and then I find this video you just posted… but this is by far the worst coho book i’ve ever read
This exact set of very dramatic events all thrown together in this specific sequence didn’t happen in real life 😅. It was a story written for entertainment/shock value and I’m simply giving my opinions on it. It’s a book review. Kinda requires judgment??
I haven't read this one butt please please read all your perfect it's nothing like this one and it's just a masterpiece you HAVE to read all your perfects 🙏😖❤️❤️

My first CoHo book I read was Slammed when it was released. I was hooked after that. Hopeless was emotional and great.
I agree it was... Too much.
But All your Perfects you should absolutely read, even if you don't complete the hopeless series!
Really excited to read this book in the coming future
OMG This book is in my TBR for sooo long. I haven't read it yet, Now watching your review I don't no what to do.
READ IT I’m reading it right now and it’s the most beautiful book I’ve read . The relationship is so warm and deep it’s so bright even when it’s so dark .

Hey Nikki! Have you read All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover? That book is freaking good❤️Give it a try! I’m sure you”ll love it😬
Slow start but what a ending 😮 got verity vibes!

No way!!!! Quinn and Graham story come together!!! With out spoilers how?

Colleen Hoover is best cause she knows how to win people's hearts 🥰
True!

I’ve never read her books but listening to people rant about how trash of a writer Colleen Hoover is is so entertaining
I don’t think she’s a trash writer at all but some of her books are just not for me 🫠🫠🫠

@@Jane-ul5hn yes but it felt like it was trashing people who have enjoyed it and to repeatedly say something is disgusting…like don’t be shaming.
Spoiler @13:20
Said I was giving spoilers and that I had to talk about it.
THANK YOU just thank you for this
You’re welcome 😅
I agree, this book was very traumatic
OMG I remember this being the first Colleen Hoover book I ever read when I was in like early high school. I do NOT remember it being that twisted 😬😬😬 that’s insane. WTF.
