Losing Hope!!! (dont read if you have'nt read Hopeless)

Losing hope is kind of a closure for some people. Like me. I didn't felt like I got the sufficient closure you get whenever someone finishes a stand alone. I didn't got that, WOW! feeling. Don't get me wrong, I freaking loved Hopeless,  and I would read it again without a problem. What I'm saying is that I didn't quite got that feeling of I finally understand everything. 

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.

 
Losing hope gives you that. It gives you the understanding of why Holden did the things he did. We know what he was looking for and why he was the way he was. We finally understand Less, we get more information about her and why she killed herself. We understand why Holden disappears for a month and why he freaks about the bracelet. Little details like that makes you see things clearer and when I finally finished, I got the WOW! feeling. It was so awesome seeing everything through Holden's eyes. I specially liked the part where he finally tells her his true feeling for her but that he didn't loved her because what he felt was deeper than that. I swear I got tears in my eyes....

“...And I'm not ready to tell you I'm in love with you, because I'm not. Not yet. But whatever this I'm feeling - it's so much more than like...And for the past few weeks I've been trying to figure it out. I've been trying to figure out why there isn't some word to describe it. I want to tell you exactly how I feel but there isn't a single goddamned word in the entire dictionary that can describe this point between liking you and loving you, but I need that word..."
"Living,"she finally whispers.
"I live you, Sky...I live you so much.” ― Colleen Hoover, Losing Hope     

What I really liked about Holden is that he is a real guy. He feels. Have you noticed in most of the books, the main hero never even shreds a tear, but I love that Holden does. I love that he lets himself feel and let go around Sky. That he is man enough to admit that he hurts and he is not ashamed to do it. I love that he still talks to less even though she was dead. I think those scenes of him writing to her were the scenes I enjoyed the most. I got tears in the last letter, where Holder reads the letter less leaves him explain why she did what she did. It broke my heart and shred it to little pieces.
