Losing Hope (Hopeless #2) Colleen Hoover

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.

My thoughts

First, I have never read a book so slowly even though I can't get enough of it, because I know once it is over there will be no more story for Dean and Hope/Sky.  And I just can't seem to bare this story being over for good :(

This is the other point of view from the first book Hopeless. I don't tend to like the other views of the books for some reason.  BUT let me just say how much of an AMAZEBALLS job Colleen did with this book! The flip side of this one being from Dean's POV was just so awesome and answered SOOO many questions. The way she was able to let us into Dean's world and allow us to see how he was feeling on finding Hope again just drew me in that much more.  I also loved the way the more meat of the book was toward the front, since it had to deal with Les, and losing her, and also the way Dean's world was crumbling before he met Sky.  And once it the end approached it wasn't fluffed in my opinion of all of Sky's dealings.  Holder dealt with the realization of what happened to the girls and what Karen did, on such a different level than Sky did and for that I am grateful.  Because Colleen wrote it this way you literally felt like you were getting a "real" second book to this series!!

One of my favorite parts is Holder asking her to call him Dean!! Absolutely the best line of the book!
I will and have read everything and anything Colleen Hoover writes!!
