Finding CInderella (Hopeless #2.5) by Colleen Hoover

This novella is a gift from Colleen to her readers, thanking them (or should I say - us) for the support she was given right from the first novel she published - Slammed. Which mean it's offered for free. You can read this one as a stand alone since it doesn't contain any spoilers to the two prior books - Hopeless and Losing Hope.  

This is the story of Six - Sky's best friend and Daniel - Holder's best friend and how they come to be together. It's a sweet story, I really enjoyed it, enjoyed both Six and Daniel (especially Daniel!). I loved their interaction together, loved how they found each other and how they built their relationship from nothing to fully committed in practically a blink.

Losing Hope (Hopeless #2) by Colleen Hoover

Everything I wrote about "Hopeless" is true about this book. This is a heart breakingly beautiful Novel. I love everything about it, and especially Holder's own voice. 
I loved "Hopeless" and getting the story from Sky's POV but hearing it from Holder's gave a different vibe to the story.

This book begins 13 months prior to "Hopeless" and tells us a little bit more about Les and Holder's relationship and portraits the few days before Les's suicide and what happens after it resulting in him moving for a year to his father.

The "Best First Kiss" (Hopeless #1.5) by Colleen Hoover

There aren't a lot to write about this one except it's a joy to read. Only thing is - you MUST read Hopeless BEFORE or it will spoiler the HELL out of you. But you SHOULD know that this scene is a part of "Losing Hope" - the next book in the series which is Holder's perspective of "Hopeless". I actually didn't know that.. So don't be surprised when you encounter this scene about half way through "Losing Hope".

Hopeless (Hopeless #1) by Colleen Hoover

This book is heart breakingly beautiful. I loved it so much! I read it in about a day. It's not an easy story, and it takes time until you get the whole deal. You get bits and pieces along the way and after a while you get why Holder is being the way he is, "what's his deal" sorta thing - he's going to crush your heart.. 

Sky has been sheltered all her life by Karen her step mother, she is a very understanding and loving mother but her beliefs are, well, not very typical. She doesn't believe in technology therefore - no computer, no TV, no mobile phone and she is also a vegan who eats only healthy food (lucky that on THAT aspect Sky can buy tasty staff to stash away :)) She also doesn't believe in the public school concept therefore she home schooled Sky. But on her senior year (what was suppose to be her senior year) Sky decided she wants to try and be "normal" and do her last year in high school.
