I Fell in Love with Hope

A Novel

De: Lancali

Narrado por: Lancali

The heart-wrenching TikTok sensation about a group of terminally ill patients who vow to live the rest of their lives to the fullest and find a love that transforms and transcends.

Against the unforgiving landscape of a hospital, a group of terminally ill patients embraces the joys within their reach: friendship, freedom, rebellion. Each in their own way is broken; each in their own way is stronger for it.

In the midst of pain and loss, they find community, even miracles, and together they are determined to reclaim from life what illness has taken from them. But a singular heartbreak has led one to swear off love forever. The risk of experiencing another tragedy feels too great. Yet, in this desolate place where it seems impossible for love to make an appearance, a door opens—and so do hearts.

Sad

This was hard to get into. The writing was absolutely beautiful but this book was hard to get into for me. The story itself was good but not enough to keep me wanting more.

Inspired story

It was a little hard to follow but overall I love the story behind it.

sad but beautiful

A beautiful and sad story, love and loss and growth. finding friends and love in dark times.

I wanna love it but…

Finished I Fell in Love with Hope. ⟡ ₊ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ♡
Man… I wanted to love the ending, but it just didn’t land for me. Finding out Sam wasn’t really a person but more like the embodiment of hope? It was sweet and made sense in theory, but it didn’t hit the way I hoped it would. Felt like I was handed this beautiful ice cream sundae,then someone came and smacked it right off the table. 😩
The timeline jumping around kind of threw me off. It felt a little chaotic and made it harder to stay grounded in the story sometimes. But it could just be a me thing.

What did work for me: the raw, poetic way it portrayed loss, friendship, and love in the hospital. The characters’ pain and their fierce love for each other. They loved one another so much. I’ll be thinking about Sony, C, Neo, and Hikari for a long time. 🥀

This book was beautiful, devastating, and raw. I related to it in ways I didn’t expect. I’ve had friends who’ve battled chronic illnesses and some who, heartbreakingly, are no longer here. So yeah, a lot of this story hit home. And while I appreciated the honesty and the poetry in the pain, this book can definitely be triggering for anyone who’s been through similar losses. Read with caution. ✿*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✿

The emotional and story

I’d been wanting to get around to reading this ever since Lancali posted about it on TikTok. I never expected it to be so emotional and heartbreaking but yet still lighthearted at times and joyful. Going through my own problems I personally feel like this story helped me. I absolutely love it and feel a personal connection to it. Thank you so much Lancali.

It’s worth the time *SPOILER*

I loved it I cried I laughed I yelled it was beautiful but I was shocked when I found out that Sam wasn’t real

Wow

This book was incredible

From the opening line to the last page
I was gripped
I cried at least 37 times but only because I felt like my heart was being poured out on these pages and the form of words by this author

It was beautiful

All of it

I am a reader because of stories like this

Oh my goodness

I was just demolished by this story. I don’t want to give anything away but I laughed and cried and connected with every single character. This book was not what I had expected but it will be one that I take with me forever.

Heartbreaking

This book will make you cry, ugly cry but it gives you hope to find that every changing, life altering love ❤️

sad story

I liked the story but the narration was very monotone and made it hard to listen to.
