Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

"It takes a lot of guts to do what she did. To just end it, not knowing what's next? Not knowing if there's anything next? It's easier to go on living a life without any life left in it, than it is to just say 'fuck it' and leave. She was one of the few that just said, 'fuck it'. And I'll commend her every day I'm still alive, too scared to do the same thing." -Colleen Hoover, Hopeless 


This was my first Colleen Hoover book. I know.... GASP! Hopeless was amazingly perfect. I loved it! I am sort of at a loss as to how to actually write a review for this book. First, the book is indescribable. Second, there are so many great reviews out there already. Alas, I will give it a go...... I will try to convey what a beautiful and fantastic experience it was reading such a treasure of a book. 

This is such a heartbreaking story. Yet, it does contain some beautiful moments of joy, swoony love and real honesty. That’s what I preferred the most actually; how honest the main character was with us. She isn't that kind of NA main character that lies to herself all the time and makes us roll our eyes because we obviously know that she loves the guy and, even though she says she doesn’t want him, everyone else knows she does as well. 
To be honest, I found the romance a bit too overwhelming by moments, especially right before Sky and Holder became officially a couple and mainly because the secondary characters started to ‘disappear.’ It’s like the author did want to only focus on Sky and Holder’s relationship but it started to, sometimes, feel cheesy and cheesy romance is not of my favorite sorts. 

Linden Sky's life lacks color. Together with her friend, Six, she lives her life. She was branded school slut because she makes out with different boys, but the only reason she's doing that is because she doesn't feel anything with those guys. Just numbness... And she likes not feeling anything at all. Up until she met Holder... 

Dean Holder
He's got a reputation. Not a good one. Sky knows he is nothing but trouble, but her body doesn't give a shit at all. She's so damn intrigued about him. And, as she gets to know him, she realized that not all rumors about him are true. He's got a hot and cold attitude going on. He's passionate, yet intense. But there's something different about him...and soon, Sky feels...and falls...

And so, their story continues...

This book touched in me so many ways! I bawled my eyes out! 
I spent so much time highlighting this book that I realized it was turning into one big highlight.

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

“The gods rule us still. They have come down from the stars. And they are no longer kind.” - Victoria Aveyard, Red Queen


17-year-old Mare is waiting for the day when she is conscripted into the army the same way her older brothers were before her. She knows that her conscription is inevitable, even while she doesn’t want to fight a war for the Silver-bloods.
When her best friend loses his job and is also headed for the army, she knows that she has to do something to save the both of them.
Can Mare really save herself from conscription? Or are there worse fates in store for her?

This was an okay story, but I lost interest.

This one took some time for me to really get into and enjoy. I think there was a lot of build up from friends who OMG LOVED IT. My expectations were really high and the story lacked a spark that I was looking for. 

I have so many mixed feelings about this book. This story has been so over-hyped lately so I was expecting this book to easily become one of my new favorites and it was just okay. This book was really difficult for me to get into, it was very slow in the beginning and for the first 100 pages I wasn't sure if I was gonna be able to get into it. 

I  love a great romance as much as the next girl (in fact romances are my favorite!) but I guess I just don't like them as much in this type of novel. Maybe it's because the romance aspect feels teeny boppy and immature since the protagonist changes her mind so often about who she may or may not love? It boggles my mind how easily they fall in and out of love. I just don't get it. 

The ending to this was again, predictable, and slow. I was glad about certain aspects, but I still had trouble staying focused. I’m not sure if I want to read the next book in the series. But there was also some great storytelling to keep me interested in a second book. I don't really know.
 I can understand why people love it and I get the appeal, but it was a miss for me.
