It is not a book, however, that could or should be read without reading Hopeless first as several scenes are better understood with prior knowledge of Sky’s story, allowing this book to simply fill the gaps in the timeline and for Holder to finally tell his side of this timeless tale of love, courage and human endurance. Losing Hope is its sequel, written entirely from Holder’s point of view, but following the same storyline. The story of Sky and Holder is not something that you ever forget – its uniqueness lies in the deep emotions that it makes us feel and in its inimitable writing style.
It touched me so profoundly and so irrevocably that I walked away a different reader. Hopeless was hands down one of the best books I have ever read. Well, fast forward “a few” years and I have found the equivalent of those childhood toy store expeditions.
I never knew what toy I would pick, the anticipation was half the fun, but I always knew I would be returning home with a huge grin on my face. Those day trips were some of the happiest moments in my life because I could always take that joy for granted. When I was a little girl, every single year on my birthday, my parents would take me to my favourite toy store which happened to be in a city a few hours away from ours.
