This book is about a teenage girl, Sky, who has been home schooled her entire life until her senior year of high school. It is on her first day that she meets Holder, who insists on learning everything about her and isn't at all who he's claiming to be...
So I’m kind of sick of the “I can’t have you but I’m going to have you anyways” young adult dramas… the outcome is always the same- girl falls in love with boy, girl learns something critical about boy that any normal human being would turn and run from, girl loves boy anyways, how sweet, happy ever after. But I’ve heard great things about this one so I figure I’ll give it a whirl and see what all the fuss is about.
So far I’m about two chapters in and all I’ve gathered about the main character, Sky, is that she likes to make out with a lot of guys but she never “feels” anything for them (except for Holder, obviously). If you’ve ever read Gone Girl, then I think Sky is comparable to “cool girl” Amy, who acts like a girl she thinks guys are attracted to, despite her dislike for other naïve girls who do that. The main character in Hopeless seems like a “cool girl” Sky who goes through the motions with a boy but doesn’t show any interest in him in order to seem superior. Anyways, hopefully these first two chapters aren’t indicative of the rest of the book… I don’t know how many more teenage make out sessions I can read through…
