Hopeless had me sucked in almost immediately. I loved the quick, easy banter between Sky and her mother, her best friend Six and Dean. There was a lightness to it that made me smile.

And then my happy bubble was popped. I should have known, based on the blurb that this was not going to continue. Sky's world is turned upside down. And so was mine (well, in my book world anyway.) I suppose that there was a happy conclusion at the end, but I'd have rather just read a book about the happy Sky & Holder. I don't know why every book needs to have a negative 'twist' that needs to be overcome. But I guess that's what keeps readers reading.

This book was just ok for me. The second half of the story really brought my rating down. I'm still undecided as to whether or not I'll pick up Dean's version.
