Finding Perfect (Hopeless, #2.6) by Colleen Hoover Review

This review does not contain spoilers for Finding Cinderella. This novella accompanies the Hopeless series by Colleen Hoover, which also includes Hopeless, Losing Hope, and Finding Cinderella. You do need to read Finding Cinderella and All Your Perfects prior to reading this novella.

You can read my review of Finding Cinderella on my blog, here.

We are back with Daniel's point of view from the Hopeless series, and he is struggling in the relationship department with Six, convinced that she is going to break up with him any day now. Daniel and Six are both going through some personal struggles that have left them somewhat isolating each other from their own relationship, and we get to see them slowly show their true thoughts and feelings as the story goes on.

I understand that Daniel was doing what he thought was best for himself and Six, but I personally thought he was crossing a lot of lines and boundaries regarding the situation that they were in. He wants to help Six, and he mildly wanted to help himself, but I kept reading it as he was putting stress on a number of people who did not need to be thrown back into a painful experience. And I get that they both needed to heal, but in reality I do not see this ever going in their favor or even getting the response that they did in the novella.

Six is able to basically come to terms with what she has gone through while Daniel is honestly still processing the information she told him and is confronted with a new reality that Six has been living with for almost two years. It was nice to see how supportive their families and friends were and how quick they were to feel for Six and Daniel.

There are a number of things in this story that just seem so far out of the park to even be a reality for Daniel and Six, especially with the way that their news is taken by everyone that they tell. I was not particularly attached to their stories, however, it was a sweet novella to wrap up Daniel and Six's journey, as well as take a look back at Quinn and Graham's story after a few years from reading All Your Perfects.

Finding Cinderella (Hopeless, #2.5) by Colleen Hoover Review

This review does not contain spoilers for Finding Cinderella. This novella accompanies the Hopeless series by Colleen Hoover, which includes Hopeless, Losing Hope, and Finding Perfect. You do not need to read Loosing Hope in order to reading Finding Cinderella - it is essentially Hopeless from Holder's perspective, with some additional information.

You can read my reviews of Colleen Hoover publications on my blog here: It Ends With Us.

I absolutely loved Hopeless, so I was so excited to see that Finding Cinderella was available to download for free! It has been some time since I read Hopeless, but I can vividly remember where I was when I read it - I definitely recommend looking at trigger warnings if needed for this series, as it may be difficult to read if you are not aware of particular plot devices.

In Finding Cinderella, we see Daniel and Six's early moments - how they met, what he thinks of her, and what is currently going on in his life when she quite literally falls into his lap. We are able to see his perspective on his current relationship and the hardships that he is going through when he finds this Cinderella that goes as quicks as she came in, then comes back rushing in.

It is great to see Daniel's thoughts during these encounters with Six, and watching him also begin to value his own being as he realizes that he shouldn't have to change into a different person in order to please anyone. We see the comparisons between Val and Six that he makes as he spends more time with Six and gets to know her, and are able to have a better understanding of who he is as an individual and as someone in a relationship.

Daniel and Six are complex characters, and it was great to dive into his perspective during these key moments. Hoover is able to show his internal battles while actively trying to do what is best for him as he learns more about Six and their budding relationship. It is a fantastic addition to the series and furthers the depth of Daniel's character.

This is a quick read, and adds to the story of Hopeless and Losing Hope. Colleen Hoover is able to build upon the characters and world that she has created in a way that doesn't seem overzealous or dragging out their story.

Finding Cinderella is available to download for FREE on iBooks and Amazon kindle devices/applications. You can add Finding Cinderella and the rest of the series on Goodreads now, and follow the author to stay up to date on releases and publications.
