MOVIE NEWS!!! ---> Both SLAMMED and POINT OF RETREAT have been optioned by a MOVIE producer!!!!!!! WOW! 6 stars!! What a beautiful and powerful book! Definitely a MUST read!!I loved this book for so many reasons... I loved that Will and Lake were wonderfully refreshing hero and heroine characters because they were realistic, smart, not annoying in any way and didn't make stupid decisions. I loved the author's writing style - its very simple but very powerful and its one of those books that r

5 stars Don’t take life too seriously. Punch it in the face when it needs a good hit. Laugh at it. Slammed is one of those books that is completely unforgettable for me. It was one of my first Indie books I read years ago and for some reason this week, I got the itch to re-read it. Sometimes when I read a book for the second time, I feel different about it. I like it more than the first time, or I realize it wasn’t as good as I thought it was… with Slammed, it was exactly as I remember it....

Awesome. Must read! I devoured this book. The story sucks you in and doesn't let you go. Adore Colleen Hoover and must read more of her.

I am conducting what I'm shelving as a "New Adult (NA) Experiment". I'm going to work my way through some of the popular New Adult books and see if I can weed out the crap and hopefully find some surprising gems. Here's hoping!It's been a while, my friends. I had to take a break for the sake of my sanity. I decided to return to the NA experiment with Slammed because I'd heard it was less offensive than Hoover's later novel - Hopeless - and also because I've had luck with a NA student/teacher rom...

Idk why I keep reading Colleen Hoover when I know I won't like her. Actually, I do know why. I read this book in like 12 hours because it's so addicting. Even though it was so lame and cliché and the characters are infuriating and this plot was such a mess and I don't like her books.UGH maybe someday (haha) i'll read an actually good colleen hoover book.this one didn't even have sex in it what was the point

colleen hoover can do no wrong in my eyes. even when i managed to accidentally spoil some key plot components for myself before reading this, i still enjoyed every single page. yes, i have a few more critiques about this story than i normally would (mainly character related), but it makes sense because this is CHs first novel and its YA. although im used to her more developed adult stories, its quite endearing to go back to her beginnings. im also a sucker for any story that romanticises academi...

Well damn.

Slam poetry plays a major role in Colleen Hoover's "Slammed." So instead of the traditional way, I present you my attempt at a simple poetic review. Note: "Schooled" is originally written by Layken Cohen, the main female character in this book."Schooled"I got schooled this yearBy fictional charactersBy a beautiful storyBy a bookI got schooled this yearBy Layken, Will, Julia, Kel, and EddieThey taught me to accept death and lifeThat it'll get in our way and we have to be readyThey taught me to la...

Don't take life too seriously. Punch it in the face when it needs a good hit. Laugh at it. Inspiring! I am genuinely floored by the brilliance of this book! I adored every single one of these amazing characters and the way they were so realistically portrayed. The unique plot, the bitter-sweet tension, and the tender romance all had me mesmerized...but I won't further digress on these elements, as I'm sure they will clearly speak for themselves...What I do want to shine a light upon is the b

I just read this whole thing on a plane and WOW. This is one of the best contemporaries I've read in a long time. I was wary of this book because it's new adult, but I really, really enjoyed it. Having older characters was a nice change and the story was seriously so fast and addicting. *flies to Amazon to order sequel*

Can the author possibly add a few more words in italics because I don't think we got enough.

Brb crying from love and heartbreak because of this book

Wow! I can’t believe I’m only allowed to give this book five stars. It affected me on so many levels. I mean, gut-wrenching, sobbing, tears streaming down my face affected me…and I’m not a crier. It touched my soul. It was filled with not only everything I was looking for, but everything I needed—-romance, heartache, poetry, beauty, humor, friendship, family and love, so much love that it hurt my heart!This book is so much more than a love story. It’s packed with important life lessons. If you’v...

“Push your boundaries, that's what they're there for.” It's currently 2:10 in the morning... I finished Slammed over 30 minutes ago... And I just stopped crying. I went into Slammed ONLY knowing that this book involved slam poetry. I had never even read the synopsis too this story (after reading Ugly Love I knew that when it comes to Hoover books you have to go into it blind). The odd thing is of all of Colleen's books, I've owned this one the longest and I'm just now reading it. I HATE MYSELF F...
