From #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of It Ends With Us, Colleen Hoover’s romantic, emotion-packed debut novel unforgettably captures all the magic and confusion of first love, as two young people forge an unlikely bond before discovering that fate has other plans for them.

Following the unexpected death of her father, eighteen-year-old Layken becomes the rock for both her mother and younger brother. She appears resilient and tenacious, but inside, she's losing hope. Then she meets her new neighbour Will, a handsome twenty-one-year-old whose mere presence leaves her flustered and whose passion for poetry slams thrills her.

Not long after a heart-stopping first date during which each recognizes something profound and familiar in the other, they are slammed to the core when a shocking discovery brings their new relationship to a sudden halt. Daily interactions become impossibly painful as they struggle to find a balance between the feelings that pull them together and the forces that tear them apart. Only through the poetry they share are they able to speak the truth that is in their hearts and imagine a future where love is cause for celebration, not regret.

Loved it!

If you like the genre combination of YA and Romance, this is a book you need to get. Now.

The story is about Lake (Layken) who moves from Texas to Michigan with her mother and little brother. As she backs up to their new home, she does not realise what is in store for her in her new hometown. For when she gets out of that truck she meets her new neighbour, the 21-year-old guy even her mother immediately approves of. It just happens that their suddenly formed deep emotions to each other has to be pushed aside..

This book made me love it pretty much immediately when I started reading it. It was quite an emotional read, making me sigh out loud, snicker and laugh, tear up and I came pretty damn close to actually crying too. It was a beautiful story. It was so good that it is making me think that the basic 1-5 stars rating scale just doesn't cover it. So that is why it is 5+.

In young adult books with romance in them the characters have a habit of falling for each other really easily and fast. Do you know what I mean? Well this book is romance and ya. But I have to say that the story in this, I really can buy it. There is something magical happening there. I really like the little brothers of the story, and I really like the main characters self-irony. I know I must often say that a book is an easy and a quick read, so I guess I have upgrade on that as well now, this was super easy and super fast. Infact, it felt pretty effortless.

That ending completely stole my breath!! I fully intended to fall in love with Slammed, let's face it CoHo has me completely suckered, I just didn't realise how much I would fall in love with Slammed. I know started to fall at the very beginning and kept on falling but I couldn't tell you the exact point where I realised I was a goner and there was no way I wasn't finishing this book. After that point I fell faster until my heart quite literally felt like it would burst with emotion.

Lake and Will. I think theirs is the most intoxicating, complicated and breathtakingly beautiful story in have had the pleasure of reading. They are like magnets pulling towards each other and nothing being able to stop that pull. It seems the harder they try to ignore it, the stronger that pull becomes. It almost feels that everything around them is trying to push them together. Even though the chemistry between the pair is undeniable and it literally jumps off the page at you, there is an innocence about their love that feels, well, just epic.

Have no doubt that your heart will be completely taken over. From Lake and Will to their little brothers becoming best friends to the stories surrounding them, from their last and in the present. Colleen has such a unique and compelling way of telling a story, the way she brings everything to life makes you feel like you are living her words and the characters are living around you. I am completely in awe of the way this story made me feel.

Now for book 2...

I love Will

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 August 2014

When I started this book I never quite realised the journey I would take, not just with the characters but within my own mindset,
I've discovered books that have altered my perspective, but I've never before felt as though a book was talking to me. Like every paragraph was a message

Throughout Slammed, I found myself consumed by a journey of emotions.

I fell in love with Will Cooper,

I was left longing to hug Kel and Caulder, the two nine year old boys who found friendship that made them a family,

I wanted a best friend like Eddie, who had a birthday that made me cry.

But most of all my heart went out to Layken and everything she had to face. The strength she showed, was awe-inspiring.

I love everything about this book, it was in-tune with my emotions, the poetry was beautiful and something I found myself reading over and over.

The truth is, it feels like this book delivered me a lesson, because sometimes you read a book that doesn't just speak to you but it comes into your life at a time when you need it the most.

I needed Slammed, I needed to see that my life is my 'real'

I cannot thank Colleen Hoover enough, for her words, this story, the characters, I needed them all!

It SLAMMED into my heart and that's where it will stay!

I read a book called Slammed
It spoke to the heart and made me see, books can speak so much truth to me.
It was breaking and honest, desperately sad but I can honestly say I love this book bad.
Its story was beautiful, its words so deep.
The characters, the poetry, they all made me weep.
Tears, hurt, love and loss.
Death, anger, frustrations and fears.
Slammed my feelings into the wall, wiped my eyes, closed the book.
Emotions!

Fairly average. Useful as a fill in when in between books.

It was readable but not my kind of book. Would suit young women. The story is set in America and about love and loss. It appears to have a sequel because there is a taster at the end.

Excellent writing, interesting character development and very addicting!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2018

I wasn't expecting much from this book since I've not had the greatest time with Colleen Hoover in the past but I am kind of shocked because this was good? Really good! I enjoyed the plot progression and the poetry aspect was genius. I also very much enjoyed the way the characters relationship was built also. At the beginning it was a little similar to other books I've read in the past but it got better the more I read. I did not like the ending though, or the time gap, it just felt very rushed like the author got bored and just wanted to get to a certain point. I can understand wanting to leave out somethings but I didn't quite work well enough. As a whole the book was a great read and I'll be carrying on with the series soon to see what happens next with these characters.
