A review by rachd24
Slammed by Colleen Hoover
5.0
This is one of my favourite Hoover reads ever!
I can't delve too much into the storyline, as I don't want to spoil any elements of this book. I was 70 pages into this read when I went online and ordered the next two in the trilogy.
This is Hoover’s debut novel, and I won’t lie, I can see development in her writing from this to her more recent releases. However, this book is still well written, and it really struck a chord with me. Her characters are wonderfully developed (even her sub-characters), her storyline unique and gripping, and her ability to make you feel really is second to none. All of that, and oh yea, Will Cooper.
Credit where it is due though, this story is about so much more than the romance. Yes, that is a central theme, but we’re also dealing with grief, and responsibility, and growing up. And slammed poetry.
