New Adult: Slammed (Book 1 in Slammed series) by Colleen Hoover

DESCRIPTION:

Following the unexpected death of her father, 18-year-old Layken is forced to be the rock for both her mother and younger brother. Outwardly, she appears resilient and tenacious, but inwardly, she's losing hope.

Enter Will Cooper: The attractive, 21-year-old new neighbor with an intriguing passion for slam poetry and a unique sense of humor. Within days of their introduction, Will and Layken form an intense emotional connection, leaving Layken with a renewed sense of hope.

Not long after an intense, heart-stopping first date, they are slammed to the core when a shocking revelation forces 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 secret that keeps them apart.

REVIEW:

This book was so good. It did, I must say, start out kind of preposterous though. I mean (SPOILER) they did basically fall in love on the third day after they met. I mean really? Sorry but that doesn't happen in real life. It did work for the book though and after a while I overlooked that silliness and fell into the lives of Lake and Will. It was the first book I ever read by Colleen Hoover and I was stunned by the intensity and way that Lake and Will could lean on each other for help and not do it out of pity, but do it out of love. This book was definitely intense and sweet. Hoover was able to have a balance of love and friendship between them, which made it evermore amazing.
