What Losing Hope is about
Anyone who read Hopeless knows Sky's story, but Holder's side of it stayed closed. This companion novel opens it. Colleen Hoover takes readers inside his head during the moments that left him feeling hopeless, and shows how much he has carried.
Holder is haunted by a little girl he let walk away. He has spent his entire life searching for her, believing that finding her again would bring closure and ease his guilt. Instead, reconnecting only added more guilt and regret. The book asks whether he can ever find the peace he so badly needs. It is an emotional, intense romance about making amends with the past, best for readers who have already met these two.
