This is the second book I’ve read by Hoover. When I saw the description for this book I felt compelled to read it. I enjoy stories centered around a mother and daughter trying to figure things out. Add in some tragedy and I’m all for it. I have never really been drawn to Hoover’s books but I thought maybe this will be the that helps me understand her appeal to so many. Reader, this was not the one. This review will be spoilery so be forewarned. A big chunk of this review will be under a Continue Reading

Guest Review: Hopeless by Colleen Hoover
I’m happy to have Shelly back with another guest review. She reads a lot in the New Adult genre and wanted to share her review of Hopeless.

There was either immense love (as Shelly has for it) or immense dislike. One person who really disliked this book is Brie from Romance Around the Corner. I encourage you Continue Reading
