Her resilient personality, though, shines as she enters through the door and into the catty teen gossip scene. There, she meets Dean Holder, with quite a reputation of his own. From the moment they meet, he feels an uncanny need to protect her and she feels drawn to him, as well. Soon they will both find out why.

Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover
5 Stars
Losing Hope is the companion book to Hopeless and is the
second installment in the Hopeless series. This book is set in the POV of Dean Holder.
The readers get so much more of his story, heartache, and
loss over not only his sister, Leslie, but of losing Hope all those years
ago. This emotional rollercoaster is as
gut wrenching as the first not only rehashing Hopeless but adding a whole
new light to Dean Holder’s character.
The compassion, love, and fear sets off this wave of emotion that only
Colleen Hoover can bring to life in her writing and readers have grown to love.
This book and author are definitely one-of-a-kind, the story
is outstanding, and the characters are to die for. Colleen Hoover never disappoints. I fell on love with Dean Holder all over
again. And yes, Ms. Hoover you can
always bring a tough girl to tears and you have done it again with Losing
Hope. Thank you for the ARC!
