5 perfect stars!!!

Colleen Hoover showed me once again why she is one of my favorite authors ever. This was the most perfect end for an even more perfect series.

I'm so sad this is the end but I'm so glad I got to enjoy this heartbreaking, heartwarming, sweet and amazing story. And Will Cooper will be one of my favorite heroes ever for sure.

Everything about this book was perfect. I absolutely loved the way Colleen wrote it, making me remember every moment from Slammed without looking repetitive or boring. Each scene seemed new to me, told in a whole new perspective, and I loved every second!

We got to find out how things happened fo Will while enjoying the blissful moments of their honeymoon, and I think that's a really unique way to go. Props to the author for that, because even though we go through the heartbreaking moments, we can read them now knowing that we are into their happily ever after, so nothing can go wrong with them anymore, and yet there are a few surprises that made it even better and completed this wonderful journey.

You finish reading and find yourself in a state of pure satisfaction. Nothing was missed or out of place.

The epilogue was definitely my favorite part of the story. It was that incredible. I have no words.

The emotions and feelings in this book are so deep and intense, just like the first two books. You knew what happened most of the time, yet you couldn't help but be intrigued by the way things were being told again this time around.

Will is fantastic. A really genuine an unique hero, caring, responsible, selfless and kind who is still able to make you swoon.

I loved the few sexy times we get to read in this book, and even though I would like to read the full detailed version of them, somehow they were still intense, and you could make your imagination work.

Lake and Will are without doubt one of my favorite couples. They are original and perfect in a way you've nevver seen before. Colleen Hoover has true talent.

And the poetry was great once again. This girl was so good. I'll never get tired from recommending the Slammed Series.

Blijft een beetje een goedkoop idee, zo'n boek met alleen maar flasbacks naar deel 1. Net als zo'n opvulaflevering in je favoriete tv-serie. Gelukkig zijn de personages nog net zo fijn, en vond ik het leuk om te lezen over de opbloeiende vriendschap tussen Will en Gavin. En de epiloog was een perfecte afsluiter.

5 heart melting stars

This book was everything I hoped and so much more! I would give it 10 stars if I could! This Girl wasn’t like reading the same book from another point of view because there was so many extras in it. Extra scenes, extra slams, extra swoon-worthy material!!! It was an amazingly EPIC book!! Every time I read something that I thought was the best thing I’d ever read, I turned the page and found something even better. I highlighted at least 50 quotes, but here are my 2 favorites (I couldn’t choose just one!):

”Sometimes two people need to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together.”

”I kiss her knowing that this won’t be our last kiss. That it won’t even be our best kiss. I kiss her knowing that this kiss is our beginning, not another good-bye.”

I mean, where can I get a Will??? I honestly can’t say enough good stuff about This Girl. It covered every emotion I had, I laughed and I cried and still want more. With that being said, here I go:
My Suck: Saying goodbye to Will, Lake and the gang, but what a great way to end it.
My Sweet: This butterflying fantastic book!!!!

Colleen Hoover, this is for you:
love

I loved every minute of this book! It was much more that Slammed in Will's POV! It was emotional! I love how he described every event that occurred in the first book. It made me appreciate Slammed even more! It was beautiful. Heartbreaking. Amazing. It made me laugh, cry, and smile. A pure butterflying masterpiece. The epilogue was the best part of the book!
Spoiler They name their daughter Julia after her mother, and Julia's 8 letter made it that much more precious. I love that Julia knew they would get married and have kids.

I only got 40 pages in but I had to stop reading…. It’s like Colleen took the first book of the series and just copied and pasted, changed the pronouns and wah-la, a new book! This completely retells the story of Will & Layken and just didn’t do it for me as I had already read that book, i wanted more to their story not a repeat!! 

Save yourself, skip straight to the epilogue.
