Review
Slammed is Colleen Hoover's first book (originally self published but later on Colleen Hoover was signed on with Simon and Schuster) and I could honestly not tell that this was her first novel because personally I think this is one of the best literary works of all time.
I read Hopeless by Colleen Hoover around January of last year and I absolutely loved it. I have been wanting to start another book by her but I just never had the chance to. But one day I was browsing my To-read shelf on Goodreads and I saw this one. I was a little wary about it because it is about slam poetry and I personally am not a big fan of it.To put it simple, this book blew me away.
Colleen Hoover has never had any trouble immersing me into the world she has created, and I am always rooting for her characters and I'm wanting them to succeed in everything they do. While Slammed is a very sad story I think readers will still enjoy this book even if they don't exactly like quote on quote 'sad' books because Hoover also does a great job of adding a lot of lightheartedness and really likable characters.
Slammed is now one of my favorite books of all time. Go read it. Now.
