Hopeless was my first Colleen Hoover read. I was not expecting the depth Hopeless brought! I thought the book would be a shallow new-adult, romantic, sexy story. I would never have imagined the horrors in both the main characters past and the climax when these horrors reached a breaking point. 
 Hopeless had a bit of a thriller feel when Sky faces demons from her past. I updated my Goodreads status when I was 83% finished with the book saying I felt sick to my stomach and the story got worse before it got better. 
 As a new adult book Hopeless also included plenty of head over heels teenage love. I liked Sky and Holder's relationship except for Holder's cheesy lines. I like romance novels but this one at times was too ridiculous to be believable his lines as something a high school boy would say. 
 I listened to Hopeless on audible and was not a big fan of the narrator. For these reasons I rated Hopeless 3 out of 5 stars.
