Book Review:
Have you ever found a book that made you feel things you probably shouldn't feel? After all, who gets all worked up over a book?
Well, if you've ever read any of Colleen Hoover's books then you would know that's pretty much the norm. You've probably also grabbed your pitchforks against her at one point, but that's not important right now.
Something incredible was created within the pages of Slammed. From the beginning I found myself tearing through the book, need to know what happened next. I felt the pain, shock, and anger of the characters at their situations. Rooting for them to get their much deserved happily ever after. Colleen's writing style in this book is unique with her inclusion of Slam Poetry, as it brings more feeling and emotion into the novel then could be done by simply slinging together words into the creation of a paragraph. The characters were relatable in their actions and reactions to situations. The story seemed to just throw me all over sometimes, and I loved every second of it.
