We go back in time before Holder met Sky and we learn about Dean, about Les and about Hope. The sky, the grass, the trees … all the things that were once beautiful were stripped of their magnificence the moment I realized I was responsible for our best friend Hope’s disappearance.” My world turned from a place full of vibrant colors to a dull, lifeless gray. I mean, really…WOW!!! “I’m immediately taken back to when I was a little boy. I was astounded to see that the way she structured the book actually amplified the emotional impact of the story. Secondly, I thought the way Colleen formatted the chapters was. This Girl (#3, Slammed) and Losing Hope (#2, Hopeless) have both been powerful and perfect with enough new content and fresh, insightful perspective that it felt like a brand new book I was experiencing for the first time. To me, no one knows how to do an alternate POV book like Colleen Hoover. I was blown away by Holder.Īnd let me say a couple other things. I think he’s my favorite Colleen Hoover character because his heart is just so good, so pure, so caring.

I fell so much more in love with Dean Holder.

I understood his feelings, his thoughts, the intent behind his choices. And after this book, I totally got Holder. I love her characters… I understand her characters and that makes me connect with her stories in a very deep way. I don’t know how she does it, but she truly is a master evoking feeling. In Losing Hope, bestselling author Colleen Hoover reveals what was going on inside Holder’s head during all those hopeless moments-and whether he can gain the peace he desperately needs.Ĭolleen Hoover is a genius. Sometimes in life, if we wish to move forward, we must first dig deep into our past and make amends. But he could not have anticipated that the moment they reconnect, even greater remorse would overwhelm him… Still haunted by the little girl he let walk away, Holder has spent his entire life searching for her in an attempt to finally rid himself of the crushing guilt he has felt for years.
