My Thoughts:
If you have read my review of
Slammed and Point of Retreat, you would probably know how much I love this
series and how much I’m obsessed with Will. So when I found out that there will
be a third book and it will be on Will’s POV again, my excitement and surprise
was so intense, I’m glad I didn’t have a heart attack, right then and there.
Will and Lake are finally married
and while in their second day of honeymoon, Will told Lake
about his break-up with Vaughn and his side of the Slammed story. It was really funny for me because when
I was reading Slammed 7 months ago, I keep on wondering what Will was thinking
at that time. I don’t know if it’s just the influence of Lake ’s
POV but he seemed really moody in Slammed and he was so hard to figure out.
But now that I finally read his
side of the story, all the actions he showed and everything he did makes a lot
of sense to me now. I can’t imagine the psychological and emotional conflict he
must have had when he saw Lake in her first
day at school. Anyway, there’s a lot more to this book than just Will’s story. You
have to look forward to amazing new poems, the honeymoon, the break up, the
first date, the other date, the regrets, the laundry room, the engagement, the
epilogue and just about everything about this book.
I loved this series so much that
it breaks my heart to say goodbye to them. I can’t help not to get too emotional with this review. All of these amazing characters have been a big
part of me now. They inspired me a lot. So I decided that I won't say goodbye to them at all because I can always read whenever I miss them and I also suck at saying goobye. But what I'm going to do is to express my gratitude to the one who created this books because apparently I'm amazing at saying thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing their stories with all of us, Ms. Colleen Hoover. Thank you for creating those poems that oozes with emotion. For making me cry everytime I read them. For letting me know that poetry is still alive. For getting me "schooled" along with Layken. For teaching me how to talk backwards. For letting me realize that when life get's in my damn way, it wants me to fight back. For inspiring me to write poems again. And for all the fun memories that I had because of this book. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Overall you don’t want to miss out on this book and if you haven’t started reading this series yet, then what are you waiting for? START RIGHT NOW! I highly recommend this book.
