Losing Hope – Colleen Hoover
In Hopeless, Colleen Hoover told the story of Sky, a teenage girl who falls for the mysterious Dean Holder and uncovers devastating truths about her past. Losing Hope retells that story from Holder’s point of view, revealing the thoughts, memories and guilt that drove him.
For years, Holder has been haunted by two losses. When he was a child, his best friend, a little girl named Hope, was taken from outside her house, and he has never forgiven himself for failing to protect her. More recently, his twin sister, Lesslie, died, and Holder carries painful questions about what happened to her and what he might have done differently. Grief and anger have shaped his reputation as a troubled young man.
When Holder meets Sky, he is struck by a feeling that he has seen her before, and he soon becomes convinced that she might be Hope. As their relationship develops, he struggles with whether to tell her what he suspects, knowing that the truth could shatter the life she knows. The novel follows the events of Hopeless from his perspective, adding new scenes, letters he wrote to his sister and insight into his feelings for Sky.
Hoover explores grief, guilt, love, trauma and healing, deepening the emotional impact of the original story and giving readers a fuller understanding of Holder.
Emotional and intense, Losing Hope will appeal to fans of new adult romance, and it is best read after Hopeless. It contains references to child sexual abuse, suicide, violence and sexual content, which some readers may find distressing.
