is this book worth reading?

[Natalya]

Its a must read. It's different than her other stories. She did a great job writing this book. Its happy, sad, traumatic but so worth the time to read.

[Melanie]

Hopeless is far from your average story and it is so worth the read. It deserves way more then five stars. Be prepared to go on an emotional roller coaster ride

[Nadine]

It's a great book; totally different from BD. It's an emotional topic and I can only agree that you keep guessing till almost the end to figure everything out. It's well written and a great book-didn't want to put it down either.

Here's my top 20 list :)
1)Beautiful Disaster(Jamie McGuire)- this is the one that started it all, so it will always have to be my #1

2) Hopeless (Colleen Hoover)- Pure perfection! Dark and Ugly and so AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!

3)The Edge of Never – Such an amazing sweet, slow burn! My heart actually seized up and I couldn’t breathe at one point.

4) The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden ( Jessica Sorenson) One of the best broken heroes ever, without the whips and chains. Since it leaves us on a cliff-hanger, the wait to book2 (end of Feb) is going to be torture!

5) Easy(Tammara Webber) I think I’ve read this one about 5 times this year. Just love it.

6) On Dublin Street (Samantha Young)- Two words. Braden Carmichael. Yummy! Best Dominant of the year!

7) Trust in Advertising (Victoria Michaels)-For all the shy girls in High school who dreamed of snag the heart-throb!

8) Walbanger (Alice Clayton) I have never laughed out-loud so much while reading a book. Any book that ends with the POV of the Cat has to be a winner!

9) The Crossfire Series (Sylvia Day)- Gideon Cross, you are who we envisioned when we pictured Christian Grey in our heads, before we even knew you.

10) The Breathing Series (Rebecca Donovan)- To the women who have the strength to persevere the unimaginable, and the men who hold them up when they are too broken to stand.

11) Crash/Clash (Nicole Williams)- tutus and Converse, football stars and bookworms…need I say more.

12) If I Stay/Where I Went (Gale Forman)- When you’re outside yourself, while you watch your body as it lays broken and the unimaginable happens do you choose to stay or go?

13) Falling Stars (Sadie Grubor)- A broken rock-star and the rocker-chick that hates him, but is the only one who can fix him. What’s not to love about that!

14) Just for Now [Sea Breeze #4] (Abbie Glaine)- You gotta love a series that just keeps getting better and better. When you are actually yelling at a book “TELL HIM! OH, GOD DON’T TELL HIM”, in like the 2nd chapter you know you have a winner!

15) The Gamble (Kristen Ashley)- Nina Sheridan is one of my all time favorite heroines. She’s cheeky and funny and totally loyal. Everyone hopes to have a friend like her. Not only to I love her, I want to BE her!

16) Dragonfury Series (Coreen Callahan)- for those of you who like a little SciFi in your smut but are sick of sparkly vampires and angsty werewolves, this is a such a fresh take on the “shifter” story line.

17) The Mighty Storm (Samantha Towle)- Is it ok to cheat on your boyfriend if it’s with your childhood best friend and the love of your life???

18) Consequences/Truth (Aleatha Romig)- TOTAL MIND F&CK! I HATED these books so much they have to make the top 20! Any book that can actually make steam roll out of my ears like Consequences did is worth the read. Truth= HA! TAKE THAT ASSHOLE!

19) Love Unscripted Series (Tina Reber)-Poor, sad, lonely A-list Actor, will you ever find someone who loves you for you? Maybe look in a bar like the rest of us do J

20) Thoughtless/Effortless (S.C. Stephens)- Oh the conundrum of reading about a love triangle when you really do like both guys…

So glad you decided to read it. It was utterly amazing. Completely destroyed my weekend - in a good way and spent a few days trying to process all of my crazy womanly emotions.

[Sandra Ayala]

Simple...it's worth the read! :-D

[Connie]

This was a great book...I loved it!!

[Krystle]

I would love to see this turned into a movie, but then again I wouldn't want it to be turned into a disastrous one and really mess up the story.

I love this book.

[Terri]

Definitely above average!! It's a good story with some unpredictable twists that keep you hooked. I loved it and couldn't put it down.

Debbie, did you end up reading it? It was amazing! I haven't read her other stories and wasn't sure about the title but let me teel you I was soo surprised! The story was sweet and sad but hopeful in the end. Hope you give it a shot. I do plan on reading Colleen's other works ;)

[Alison]

A great book! Definitely recommend.

[Teen]

Read it, read it, read it!!!

[Meri]

Heck Yeah!! I don't think explaining would do. Just read it and you won't regret it. And if you did, I wager you won't be able to keep your hands on her other books namely Slammed and Point of Retreat. :)

[Connie]

It's worth reading. I was not able to put it down. It's a well written story with good plot. This is young adult so it's not steamy.

[Sleepy]

Definitely a must read i was hesitant first as well but I'm so glad i read it an emotional rollercoaster!

[Chris]

It was a great book. I took a punt in a genre I've never read before and it really impressed me. There were some really clever twists in it that I didn't see coming.

[Paula]

I agree with Sam. I also do not like to read books that make me cry and are depressing. But I am going to read this book based on the above recommendations because so many of you think it is a beautiful story. Thanks

[Maggie]

Hopeless was possibly one of the best YA books I've ever read. A must read in my opinion. : )

[Connie]

I just brought Slammed and Point of Retreat and will be reading them the next several weeks. When is the 3rd book due out?

[Mandy]

If you Liked Hopeless try Sea of Tranquility KAtja Millay, Ten Tiny Breath byt KA Tucker or Tight Knit by Allie Brennan

Dunow, right now it says 2013 and entitled 'This Girl'. So I'm still filling up my TBR with other obras. :)

[Ivy]

Most Definitely, YES!!
This book is amazing... Seriously, read it. You will not be disappointed.

[[deleted user]]

DEFINITELY!
But be warned it made me cry! :(

[Amanda]

Just finished reading this book.. Loved it, and it takes a lot for me to not want to put a book down. I was addicted and found myself reading fast because I had to know what and how things were going. I look forward to hearing what you think of it. I am going to start the Slammed series soon. I hear good things about it also.

Totally agree, it's the first of Colleen Hoover's books I bought and I'm glad I did. Read in 2 days could not put it down. Will def be ordering her other books!

[Jln]

I loved this book so much, I will probably read it again...I think it's her best book so far.

[Kath]

Super unexpected twist! plus the lines of Holder to Skye oh my! it'll butterflying melt your heart!

[Siobhan]

I don't think I'm exaggerating, and I said it in my review, but I think this book sets the bar for ebooks. Amazing, amazing work.

So totally agree with this comment.

[Louise]

Oh this book is so worth your time I downloaded it the other day as I was looking through amazon and saw that it had quite a few good ratings . And at 3 pound odd I didn't think it was a bad price . It was amazing a really touching book it does though touch on a taboo subject but its perfectly written I love the relationship between holder/ sky it's beautiful and brings light to the book so worth anyone's time :-)

[[deleted user]]

I was skeptical as to whether I'd like this book bc YA, with such young main characters, isn't my thing usually. So glad I read it because I truly loved it! Anyone can enjoy this one. The writing/characters/plot are stellar!!!

[Marcie]

I say this book is absolutly worth the read!

[Cathy]

Very much worth reading

[Jayjay]

Definately worth the read, I loved it, read it in a day, of course nothing else got done, good thing my family could take care of themselves, nobody starved:)

[Irdienne]

i cried like a baby it was so touching and had me thinking of my life....i will read this book over and over and over and over..!!!!!lots of tears but soo worth it
