These two books Slammed & Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover were amazing.  The story really grabbed me and I ended up reading them both on a Saturday afternoon (which turned into evening) because they were so addicting.  Around lunchtime on a beautiful summers day in January (Australia) I went to sit out in the alfresco area to read for an hour or two.  Well that turned into about 9 hours and it was dark before I could concentrate on anything else!  I vaguely remember cooking something simple for dinner.  My poor dog Charlie didn’t get a walk that day! 

I had never heard of Slamming before but it is definitely a unique angle for a book!

I am rating Slammed & Point of Retreat 5 stars since they are captivating and charming!

It’s been about a month since I read them, in the meantime I read the author Colleen Hoover‘s other new book Hopeless which was fantastic (see my review here).  I have been thinking about who could play Will, the main character who is a teacher.  I think I’ve finally found that guy in a movie I saw today.  I went to the movies with my mother in law to watch Anna Karenina and she hated this character but I really liked this character!  He just somehow reminded me of what Will Cooper would look like since he’s got those dreamy poetic eyes!  Do you agree that Aaron Taylor-Johnson would fit the bill?

You need to read Slammed first, then Point of Retreat, it is from Will’s point of view.  Now it’s been announced that there will be another book, it’s called ‘The Girl’ (Slammed #3) which is mainly from Will’s point of view.

I haven’t read this girl yet, it’s the story from Will’s point of view.  Have you read it?
