I was very hesitant to read this book bc I wasn’t too crazy about Credence (written by the same author) BUT THIS BOOK? SLOW BURN BUT SPICCYYYY!
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5- ‼️TW: Child abuse, drug addiction, domestic violence/physical abuse, verbal abuse, suicide/self harm, grief, loss‼️

Let me be honest: it took me about 300 pages to really get into this book. I was unsure about continuing it prior to that point. Seeing as it had 814 pages, I figured I’d give it a shot and try …leading up to about 300 pages in.

With that being said…I did not cry while reading A Little Life. That doesn’t mean that it was not sad or heartbreaking, because that IT WAS! I just think that topics and books definitely hit different for everyone. I did shed a single tear at one point in the book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.75/4 ⭐️- (I can’t decide) I really did like this book! It’s not my favorite COHO book but it was a fun and engaging read!
I loved the premise of Fallon & Ben meeting once a year on November 9th. I found this book to cause me to feel three different emotions: mad, sad, and happy. I found myself giggling, smiling, rolling my eyes, and cursing. Lol I gasped at the plot twist. Audibly gasped and froze. I had to pause for a few minutes before continuing! I read this in a span of two days. I instantly fell in love with Ben & Fallons relationship…or did I?

WHY OH WHY did it take me this long to read Slammed??? I LOVED this book. I know this book is controversial because of the main issue in question… yes it can be a bit cringey, but Slammed brought out every single emotion in me.
I mean every single one… I:
•Laughed
•Cried
•Was angry
•Was annoyed
•Smiled
•Hurt
•Loved
•Blushed
This story has depth to it. Love, friendships, grief, and family dynamics. The characters in this book developed beautifully and I adored them.
I guess I’ll have to continue the series at some point in the near future…..

it took about 24 chapters (out of 32) before I started to feel like there was a real story line.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- UHM WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO FINALLY READ THIS BOOK!?! I was HOOKED. Actually hooked is an understatement
Rom-com meets thriller?! Who would’ve thought! I LOVED this books. I couldn’t not put it down! It was definitely cheesy and funny, but it also kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! While this book was predictable I had so much fun reading it. It was such a fast paced read and I laughed so many times.
