His Last Hope – @Wattpad

“The canvas of a menacing blue,

And soon comes out, the shining moon.

Thousands of stars, sparkling bright,

In this hellhole of darkness, distributing light.

She was like that star to him,

She was the one to set him free.

From the confines of his thoughts,

Which were making his senses rot.

She stood beside him, no matter what!

She sneaked up on his secrets, fearless of being caught.

She broke down all his walls,

Helping him, to stand so tall.

She tolerated his anger and stubbornness,

When he was drowning in the ocean of stress.

She made him learn how to cope,

And it was then he realized, that she, was HIS LAST HOPE…

Just prior a month to final exams, Calista Hale, a senior in high school is told the worst news – she is being held back from graduation. The only way she can overcome is obstacle is by tutoring a notorious – or so everyone believes – student, Lincoln Pierce. A pro at deceit and skipping classes. What happens when these two are stuck together? A guy with severe anger issues and a stubborn girl who is desperate for her diploma. What do you get when you combine these two ingredients? Well, you get one heck of a story! So dive into this journey of Calista and Lincoln.

Above, is a poem which totally relates to this book because well, I wrote it for this book only! This book literally brought out my poetic side and compelled me to write this poem. So the first thing I did after reading the book, was write this poem.

Coming to my review, the book is a great piece of writing. Though I have to admit that the summary of the book was not so intriguing but the prologue was what engrossed me. The book is a little slow paced but not so slow that there is a point where nothing is happening. The mystery and thrill in the book is what keeps it going.

Also, this book contains some action scenes which are really descriptive. So if you do not prefer violence, I unfortunately break it to you that this book is not for you. The detailed description of each and every single moment was what I loved. It was like I am able to create the scene in my mind and can live in it as well.

The characters in the book were fictitious because they had little resemblance to reality. But still, they were interesting and made the book great.

Lincoln is a very shady character. It’s like he is always obscured in the shadows. His past is not something he is proud of and he does not trust people easily. He is your typical broken boy who has myriad secrets.

Calista is an outspoken girl, sometimes rude and obnoxious but still, a kind – hearted girl. She is also very magnanimous and caring. At times she can be nosey, but this is what makes her a little realistic. Also, she is not intimidated by Lincoln, rather, his mystifying persona seem to fascinate her.

At first, Calista’s whole and sole purpose was to tutor the guy so that she could pursue her diploma. But as she starts getting closer to Lincoln, she starts seeing through his façade. The guy with a super strong front is forced to grow up due to some grave circumstances.

Over and all, this book is full of mystery and there are thousands of things which you will decipher while diving further and further into their story. The book was decent but one flaw I would point out is that, the chapters are very, very lengthy. In my personal opinion, I like mediocre length chapters because it is a tedious task to read lengthy chapters even if they are interesting.

Other than that, the book is great and the writing of the author is easily understandable. Also, she has a great vocabulary which is very another wonderful feature of the author. Lastly, the book is great and worth reading.

Will Lincoln’s secrets ever be deciphered? Moreover, after knowing his secrets, will Calista still be with Lincoln? Will she be the one to show him what he has been missing on? Maybe, she would…! Because Lincoln has finally realized that she, is his last hope… and he ain’t letting her walk away from him any time soon…

So, until the next time!

Adios Amigos…!
