So I loved this book...a lot! Morgan Parker has a way of writing these wonderful stories and have you feeling for the characters. And that's exactly how I felt while reading. Experiencing what they were going through and loving Morgan's awesome writing. Hope isn interwoven story from Non-friction. In Non-friction, the main character Morgan Barker writes a story called "Our Story" about a couple named Oliver and Olivia. Hope is somewhat a more in-depth look into their story. Now if you haven't read Non-friction yet, you really need to as it will help you understand Hope but also because it's freaking fantastic. In Hope, Barker meets Hope, a woman who has a significance to his past. This encounter resurrects the story of Olivia and Oliver for Barker.Now we get "Our Story" in the form of Hope. We learned about the tryst of Olivia and Oliver and how much they mean to each other. As I reading, I was feeling the emotions of the two main characters. I was frustrated, sad, happy, you name it. Whatever they were feeling, I felt it too. It was a true love story, one filled with passion and love as well as frustration and heartache. I was so engrossed in their story and needed to know how it will progress. They went through so much in this short novella and I just needed to know that it will turned out well. In the end, it kinda did. Parker left us with a satisfying ending but one that left me wanting more. So I can't wait for Sick Day.Parker knows how to write a romantic story that keeps you engrossed and having you feel all types of emotions. He doesn't make it all fluffy but real. All the characters in this novella (Morgan, Hope, Olivia, and Oliver) are great. The writing is fantastic and I can't wait to read more from him. So if you haven't checked out his books, you should.
