I Fell in Love with Hope: A Novel

Product Information

I fell in love with hope is a story where everyone can find a piece on themselves. The plot follows our group of friends as they battle time and death themselves: Sam, the narrator, Neo, a bad temptered writer bound to a wheelchair, Sony, a girl with a single lung but as wild as fire, Coeur, a gentle giant with a failing heart and Hikari, a girl brighter than the sun.

Look. I don’t like bringing logical fallacies into arguments, but listen. I should have known better than to have high hopes for a book written by someone who worships Hanya “I don’t believe in therapy” Yanagihara. The story brings into focus the realities of our diseases, scars, abusive parents, and how we can overcome them with love. The author’s writing style is nothing short of a masterpiece as she elegantly captures the message of hope and the power of love to overcome obstacles.

I Fell in Love with Hope

of their smile. Passing an old landmark. Laughing at a joke they would've laughed at. You lose them infinitely. This great escape takes you on a journey with a little gang led by Neo where they plan and execute their last heist with a mischievous smile. The gentle giant named Coeur is the only one to notice Neo’s failing heart that is about to give up on him. Amidst this chaos, Coeur falls in love with Sam’s beautiful boy who has scars from his abusive parents. Together, they become the greatest thieves of all time. this book broke me. from the characters’ pasts to their presents, my heart broke a little every time. i loved them all so so much and i think other readers will fall in love with each of them just as easily. i like how we still got to know parts of the other characters’ pasts, even though this book was told from sam’s perspective.

I have never read a book like this. It held me hard, making me finish reading it. It is a beautiful, heartbreaking and thought-provoking book. In my opinion this is one kind of an eternal story and I will cherish it with everything.

Narrator-Sam’s first love was Real-Sam, a boy they watched grow. Emphasis on “watched grow”. Narrator-Sam was THERE (not physically yet, but consciously watching) when Real-Sam was born, and then watched Real-Sam age and grow, eventually creating their physical form so they could get to know Real-Sam. (Narrator-Sam is called Sam because Real-Sam told them to share his name… which is just super super weird to me. AND it says that Narrator-Sam modeled themself off of Real-Sam. That’s also weird.) From prose to plot it showed the author’s inexperience. Self-published books written by young people can be very good( I’ve read many), but this one had all the hallmarks of what makes people skeptical of reading self published stories: poor editing, flimsy plot, and weak writing. I think the author has the bones here, and clearly has narrative ability, but this was a weak novel. All in all, this book was simply not for me. The writing style was overbearing, the characters were flat, and there wasn’t a plot I could get hooked on to. Okay, talking about the above sentence, the only reason I didn't physically cry was because I was just emotionally constipated but that's a me thing, I'll probably cry once I reread it anyways let's get to the main point.

And this last one just rubs me the wrong way… The yellow-haired, yellow-eyed (???) suicidal Japanese girl… huh? Neo is a writer, a bitter poet. Unlike Sony, he is silent, and unlike C, he is remorseless. His spine is fragile, but his words make up for it. He’s bony and short, so small we call him Baby, although, for a baby, he sure has a temper. I’m fairly certain he’s never worn a smile in his life. I’ve known him the longest, and though he’s scowly and mean, it’s all a mask, his protection. He’s also the smartest person I know—observant, creative, resilient—the one who plans and records our great feats of thievery. He claims that Sony and I are extroverts who’ve kidnapped him and coerced him into being our friend, but I know he secretly enjoys the company. Hospitals are lonely until you find your people.

Eric, Eric—first of all—are those new scrubs?” Sony asks, pointing smoothly up and down. “They really bring color to your face—” If any of you follow Lancali on social media, then you'll know that this story is very dear to her for a number of reasons, but mainly because it's inspired by her own experiences with chronic illness, and as a young adult losing the one she loved to illness, while they were both staying in a hospital. Because of this, this book deserves to be approached with sensitivity and kindness.Today is different. Today is on our side,” Sony proclaims, taking a breath, deep and dramatic. “Can’t you taste it, Neo? How sweet the air is?” In summary, ‘Hope’ is an excellent movie that explores humanity’s realities in an authentic way while telling a captivating story full of laughter and tears. It showcases Lancali’s genius as a filmmaker while delivering an emotional rollercoaster ride that will stay with viewers long after they leave the theater. Join the Discussion Hospitals are bland, tasteless places. But even if I do not dream as I used to, there is no more thrilling company than the company of thieves. Fresh air, huh?” Eric scowls, unconvinced. “Did you forget we have an entire floor dedicated to that?” He’s referring to the garden on the sixth floor. This especially applies to Hikari and Sam. Their interactions were just bizarre and oftentimes incomprehensible.
