Product Information

A continuation of the Hopeless trilogy, this free novella begins with a chance encounter between two teenagers who pretend to fall in love but only for one hour. When the hour is up, one of the pretend lovers is left to wonder if those moments of fake love were real. Fast forward one year, Daniel meets a strange girl named Six who forces him to believe in love at first sight. I nod and stare out the driver’s side window. I don’t want to look at her, because I’m a guy and she’s hot and I know if I look at her, then my moment of clarity regarding our relationship will become foggy and I’ll end up inside her house, making up with her on her bed like I always do.

A tragic love story, Layla follows a young couple, Layla and Leeds, whose love is interrupted by a tragic accident that leaves Layla fighting for her life. Soon, Layla recovers physically, but the mental scars remain. The couple visit the bed-and-breakfast where their love began, but Layla’s strange behavior puts a strain on their relationship, pushing Leeds into the arms of another guest. Love triangles ahead! I didn’t think so,” she says smugly, incorrectly assuming my silence was admission that I’m not happy with how I act. In actuality, my silence was the moment of clarity I’ve needed since the day I met her.

Hopeless - Recommended Reading Order

Six and Daniel are delightful together. The fact that I used the word "delightful" in a review should tell you just how much I loved this story! There's no other word for it, though. Every conversation, even the eventual angsty ones, were so natural and entertaining in a way that made me actually want to meet these characters. I'll admit to feeling a little creepy about having book crushes on both Daniel and Six but I've moved on from that. Now I'm just thinking about the fact that I'm jealous of all the folks that get to read this one for the first time. The final books in the series expand the story to include others in their friend group. How Many Books are in the Hopeless Series? One of Hoover’s most popular titles and the subject of the forthcoming movie starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, It Ends With Us follows Lily, a hardworking business owner who meets a too-good-to-be-true neurosurgeon, Ryle Kincaid. The two fall dangerously in love, but Lily is left thinking of her first love, Atlas Corrigan, who suddenly reappears in her life, threatening her relationship with Ryle. When their hour is up and the girl rushes off like Cinderella, Daniel tries to convince himself that what happened between them only seemed perfect because they were pretending it was perfect. Moments like that with girls like her don’t happen outside of fairytales. Val’s having a bad life,” I say. “And after tonight I’ve finally realized I don’t want to be a part of it.”

You're my best friend, Holder. For real. You're my best friend and I love you. I'm not ashamed to admit that I love a guy. I love you, Holder. Daniel Wesley loves Dean Holder. Always and forever.' She shakes her head. “I can’t do this anymore,” she says, getting out of the car. “We’re done, Daniel. For good this time.” Sky takes one of the pictures out of Holder’s hands. “I think he’s actually serious this time,” she says to him. “No more Val.” Sky tries to look sad for my sake, but I know she’s relieved. Val never really fit in with the two of them. Now that I think about it, she never really fit in with me, either. The Hopeless series by Colleen Hoover comprises 4 books with one additional book related to the series: This was way too easy. I figured she’d put up a fight and make me beg a little like Val always does. I love that she isn’t playing games. She’s straightforward and I like that about her already.

RESOURCES

I don't think there is a single thing about this story that I didn't love. Even though it was only a novella, it was sweet, sexy, romantic, surprising, heart-wrenching, and breathtaking all at the same time. I couldn't put this book down, and found myself having to carry my Kindle around the grocery store so that I could continue to read. I loved all the characters so much, they could make me cry in one instant and then the very next second I would literally be laughing out loud. Colleen Hoover is one of the most talented authors I have ever had the honor of reading. Finding Cinderella is by far the best novella I have ever read! I laugh and clutch at my heart. "Dammit, Six. I love every single word that comes out of your mouth." The girl is no one else but Six, who went to Italy through a student-change program (Yeah, you also remember her. Sky’s best-friend.) And when a year after they meet again they fall in love again… without having the slightest idea that they already fell in love once.

I can't take you tonight. I had my heart completely broken about an hour ago by a psychotic bitch and I need a little more time to recover from that relationship. How about tomorrow night?” What’s to tell?” she says sarcastically. “It’s not like we’re going on a random Sunday night date or anything.” But a year changes a lot of things and maybe the people who fell in love inside a dark closet, are not the same ones who fell in love in the open air.Each of the twenty-six authors featured in this anthology were given the same first sentence. Where they took that first sentence was completely up to them.
