Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover is the retelling of Hopeless from the perspective of Dean Holder (the MMC). I didn’t particularly enjoy this book. It was nice seeing a few new things about the story from Holder’s perspective, but most of it was just a retelling. I’m not one to pick up a book and read it just because it’s from another character’s perspective, so I found this book to be quite underwhelming. I finished it, though! The really good things about this book were the new scenes with Les, and the new scenes with just Holder when he isn’t with Sky. Basically, anything that wasn’t in Hopeless is what I enjoyed. However, I did really enjoy all of the romance as per usual because CoHo is amazing at writing love scenes packed full of emotion. The writing and the plot and everything else is still solid, it’s just that knowing what comes next makes me lose a lot of interest in the story. Overall, if you’re a die hard Colleen Hoover fan, definitely read this book. If you like books told from the perspective of a different character (but basically the same plot), you’ll enjoy this as well. It just fell flat for me. Very mediocre. I give it 2.5 healing hearts:❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹.5

Still a good story, but it was exactly the same story as Hopeless, just from Holder's point of view.

Colleen Hoover is always amazing. I liked hearing Holder's POV more than I liked hearing Will's (from Slammed). I felt like Holder's POV really added another layer to the story. Sky's POV was so wrapped up in other things (quite understandably), it was cool to see it from (kind of) the outside.

I thought I loved Hopeless, but I think Losing Hope just surpassed my feelings. I loved getting Dean Holder's side of things, and going along with him on such a heartbreaking journey to find answers he didn't really want, but that he needed. Answers that gave him, in the end, the piece of mind he needed. And brought him back to the person he'd been searching for since he was a little boy. This was a gut wrenching and heart warming story rolled into one, and I shed real tears, wishing I could comfort Dean when he started getting the answers he so needed. But, he had his Sky. The person he needed.

I read this series slightly out of order. I read Finding Cinderella before this one, and while it wasn't a huge deal at all, it made me smile to read things I already knew about. I still kind of wish Breckin would get a book. I loved him too.
