Same story, different POV
I've read a few of these - Hopeless/Losing Hope, Beautiful Disaster/Walking Disaster, and so on - but now it seems like every single new adult / older YA book has a companion book that is exactly the same plot but told from the guy's perspective. And it's getting old. It's like authors are either not telling the full story to begin with or are dipping back into the well because the first book was well received. What happened to the good, old-fashioned sequel? The what happens next story or even a completely new story centering on different characters from the first book? Why does it have to be exactly the same story?
Re: Same story, different POV
I was thinking about Gayle Forman's books, or like TIME BETWEEN US/TIME AFTER TIME, but those at least continue the story and have something new happening.
I think it's pretty annoying to try to sell the same exact story from the opposite POV. If you wanted both POVs shared, then write a dual POV or omniscient POV story in the first place.

That definitely changed my mind about reading Losing Hope. It would be a complete waste of time. The only time I MIGHT read it? Is if I was desperate for a re-read of Hopeless 5 or 10 years down the line. Then I perhaps would choose to read it from the dude's point of view.

OMG I would give all my earthly posessions to have all the HP books rewritten from Dumbledore's perspective.
my read shelf:
I love how everyone is like, "Yeah! I hate it! I'll never read another!"
Until someone mentions HP. Then we're all like, "Sign me up!!!"
lololololol!!!! I love it! (And I feel the same way!)
I have a couple of Same Story, Different POV books recently and I do not care for them either. I would also read Midnight Sun though. I think that one is different because of Edward's mind-reading ability.
