Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

6 \u00a0incredible stars!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

HOLY FREAKING AWESOME!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t even put into words how amazing this book is. And it\u2019s a novella! 105 pages of pure win! And I can honestly say that I adored every single page. It was sweet, hilariously funny, romantic and emotional. And it all blends together perfectly.<\/p>\n

This is the story of Daniel and Six. The respective best friends of Holder and Sky from\u00a0Hopeless<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Losing Hope<\/a>, and I would suggest reading those books first so you know who the characters are.<\/p>\n

The \u2018wow\u2019 factor is there from the very beginning, and by the end of the prologue I was stunned speechless and madly in love with Daniel. He is hilariously sarcastic and rarely serious, and the whole book is from his POV, which adds to the awesome of the story because he is a fantastic narrator.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe looks like a fucking angel. I don\u2019t even know if people should use the words\u00a0<\/em>fucking\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>angel\u00a0in the same thought structure, but shit. She really looks like a fucking angel.<\/em><\/p>\n

He and Six have an incredible bond and I loved watching them together. The banter is fantastic, and they are both freaking hilarious! I laughed so hard pretty much the whole way through.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you going to tell me how awesome that kiss was or are you going to ignore it?\u201d
\nShe shakes her head and laughs at me. \u201cThat wasn\u2019t even a real kiss,\u201d she says. \u201cYou didn\u2019t even try to put your tongue in my mouth.\u201d
\n… \u201cI didn\u2019t have to put my tongue in your mouth,\u201d I say. \u201cMy kisses are that intense. I don\u2019t even really have to do anything. The only reason I pulled back was that I was sure we were about to experience a classic, \u2018When Harry met Sally\u2019 moment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And they are both so upfront and honest with each other. There\u2019s no game playing, no stupid, just them being completely open in a way that\u2019s entirely theirs and it\u2019s sensational!<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never had a boyfriend before. I don\u2019t know how this works. Do people become exclusive this fast? Are we supposed to pretend we\u2019re not that interested for a few more dates?\u201d
\n<\/em>Oh, dear God.
\nI\u2019ve never been turned on by a girl laying claim to me before. I usually run in the other direction. She\u2019s obliterating every single thing I thought I knew about myself with every new sentence that passes those lips.
\n\u201cI have no interest in faking disinterest,\u201d I say. \u201cIf you want to call yourself my girlfriend half as much as I wish you would, then it would save me a whole lot of begging. Because I was literally about to drop to my knees and beg you.\u201d
\nShe squints her eyes playfully. \u201cNo begging. It screams desperation.\u201d
\n\u201cYou make me desperate,\u201d I say, pressing my lips to hers again.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

And, of course, the romance is gorgeous.<\/p>\n

\u201cI lean my head back and close my eyes, attempting to figure out where I went right in my life to deserve her\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt blows my mind that I get to love you.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may be only 100 pages, but Colleen managed to put so much heart into this story. I laughed, I squeed, I swooned, and I even cried. Daniel and Six\u2019s story is incredibly special, and a must read for fans of the\u00a0Hopeless<\/em>\u00a0series. I can only hope we get more of them at some stage in the (very near) future. Oh, and yes, we get to see a fair bit of Sky and Holder, and even Breckin, and it\u2019s perfect \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Colleen Hoover \u2013 you absolutely own me!<\/p>\n

6 incredible stars.<\/p>\n
