Book Blurb from Goodreads:

In the follow-up to Colleen Hoover’s #1 New York Times bestseller Hopeless, the charming and irresistible Dean Holder tells the passionate story that has melted thousands of hearts.

In Hopeless, Sky left no secret unearthed, no feeling unshared, and no memory forgotten, but Holder’s past remained a mystery.

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. But he could not have anticipated that the moment they reconnect, even greater remorse would overwhelm him…

Sometimes in life, if we wish to move forward, we must first dig deep into our past and make amends. 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.

REVIEW:

Received the ARC through NetGalley.

For all readers who got NG access, you could go and read it NOW. You don't have to request it anymore. It's auto approved. :)

WOW. I love when authors make second books of a series a POV of the guy I quite liked. I mean, same story but it was told in the male lead's POV. But this book, this particular series, I like how Hoover added some things in it. I love how she start it where in Les still alive. Even though her appearance is quite short.

Holder's thoughts are strong. I mean, you could feel whatever he was feeling, especially when Les died. We didn't know, from book 1, what Holder felt when his twin sister overdosed, when he lose Hope, when he saw his mother devastated. We didn't really know. We just know that he felt guilty about it, he's sad and all, but we didn't really know what was going on his mind. 

Well, it was because it is Sky's POV back then. So what we know, we knew it through her. It's a good thing that Hoover wrote this story in Holder's POV. It makes us feel connected to them both. 

Yes, it started out a bit slow cause I was looking forward to him meeting Sky and telling her about it all. But I guess, it's okay, the pace I mean. 

I cried. I actually didn't expect that I will cry again since I already know what happened. But Hoover made some twist in the end. And it just broke my heart all over again. 

But yes, I love the book. LOL. It's really hard to review books you liked. :p
