Colleen Hoover definitely knocked this one out of the park. Blurb right here:
There are two sides to every love story. Now hear Will’s.
Colleen Hoover’s New York Times bestselling Slammed series has brought countless readers to their knees with a whirlwind of love, passion, and heartache.
Layken and Will’s love has managed to withstand the toughest of circumstances and the young lovers, now married, are beginning to feel safe and secure in their union. As much as Layken relishes their new life together, she finds herself wanting to know everything there is to know about her husband, even though Will makes it clear he prefers to keep the painful memories of the past where they belong. Still, he can’t resist his wife’s pleas and so he begins to untangle his side of the story, revealing for the first time his most intimate feelings and thoughts, retelling both the good and bad moments, and sharing a few shocking confessions of his own from the time when they first met.
In This Girl, Will tells the story of their complicated relationship from his point of view. Their future rests on how well they deal with the past in this final installment of the beloved Slammed series.
After reading Point of Retreat from Will's POV, I knew it can't end there. I needed me some more Will-lovin. This Girl was all I expected it to be and more. Aside from seeing the events of Slammed through Will's eyes, Colleen Hoover treats the reader to some truly heart-warming suck and sweet moments set after PoR. I just loved how each retelling of the story was introduced with a scene of Will and Layken post-PoR. It was kinda like reading a bunch of short stories from SLAMMED. Despite of that, Will's retelling didn't fail to bring me to my knees, breaking my heart and fixing it all up all over again as if I was reading their story for the first time.
Colleen Hoover weaves words like it's nobody's business. She paints Will and Layken's story so vividly that I can't seem to get enough. Although I'm terribly curious as to what happens after This Girl, I guess I'm just happy that they are happy. Well, maybe a novella every now and then wouldn't hurt :)
I'd hate to say goodbye to Will, Layken, Kel, Caulder, Eddie, Gavin and the whole gang of SLAMMED, but no matter, I'll be re-reading this butterflying amazing series again for sure.
Oh, and Ms. Hoover's prose? Divine! As always.
