Hope
Hope. Perhaps the emotion I hate the most in the world.
I never understood why people loved to hope so much. Why every time I failed, they asked me to hope more. Hope increased my torment because it made me believe things one day would be better.
Follow me on this journey through my mind as I think about hope, perhaps in ways it has never been done before. Because this is not a book for those looking for ways to become hopeful. It's for those who wish to understand this emotion a little better.
And by the end of this, I hope you can also realize hope for what it really is.

Ambitious and thought-provoking book. Based on the context, I believe Sanchez is the speaker in much of this- but it also allows readers to see it as relatable.

Emotional Non-fiction
Mia did a great job writing her thoughts in this short piece. It was though provoking and gave me a lot of insight. I enjoyed it!

Hope for the hopeless
A relatively short read that gives you a fleeting glimpse into the mind of a tortured author. Oftentimes the word hope could be replaced with fear, doubt, confusion and uncertainty. The author holds on to hope as a potential for salvation from the situations that life presents her with. Although she tends to despise the positivity expressed by others, that life will improve.
I guess the best advice that I can give the author, is that we all face moments where hope is in short supply. Unexpected challenges can appear around every corner in life, and yet we survive these moments while often feelings hopeless, unloved or useless. This is the way we learn to continue, by facing the dark night of the soul, often in solitude, and moving on with life by forgiving and forgetting and acceptance of our limited time here.

This was such an emotional piece. I really enjoy the work done by this author so when I saw that the topic of the book was hope, I just had to read it. I love how thought provoking it is. It was a quick read but it’s just so good. I highly recommend it!

An excellent short read.
Mia writes well and her book Hope is very thought provoking. I feel that personally, without ‘hope’ I might’ve given up on myself entirely.
