brendaclay 's review for:
Slammed
by Colleen Hoover
I received this novel from Netgalley and stayed up past midnight on a work night to finish it! Layken, recently bereaved of her dad, moves from Texas to Michigan with her mother and brother right before her senior year. She's understandably not happy about the move, but things look brighter after she meets her new neighbor, Will. They feel an instant connection, which is strengthened when literary Will introduces Layken to the world of slam poetry. But just as their relationship begins to bloom, they're forced apart by unforeseen circumstances. Yet, because of their little brothers' close friendship, they're also forced to keep seeing each other. When more tragedy strikes, Layken needs Will more than ever. CAN THEY OVERCOME??
I've heard tons of buzz about this book, and at first I didn't buy into it. But once the first plot twist hit, I was hooked. Although something about the writing struck me as a little amateurish, it has a LOT of heart. This is an interesting and unusual story with very likable characters, and the romance is pretty swoon-worthy. I'm definitely moving on to the sequel!
