This Girl Colleen Hoover Review by Sophia
Honestly, it was quite an experience reading this book. You know how sometimes a story just stays with you for a while? This was one of those for me.
Colleen Hoover has this amazing ability to make characters feel real, and revisiting Lake and Will’s story from Will’s perspective was intriguing. It’s like when you hear a story from a friend and then later hear it from someone else involved – the perspective shifts and you see things you didn’t realize before. That’s what Hoover does brilliantly here.
What I particularly loved was the depth we got into Will’s character. The first books in the series made me empathize with Lake, but here, seeing things through Will’s eyes, I felt a whole new level of connection to his experiences and emotions. It’s a testament to Hoover’s writing that she can make familiar scenes feel fresh and emotionally compelling.
However, I’ll admit, there were moments where I felt the story treaded a bit too close to the previous books, almost like déjà vu. But even then, Hoover’s poetic touch – those moments where Will’s thoughts and feelings are expressed through poetry – added a beautiful, almost lyrical quality to the narrative.
For fans of the ‘Slammed’ series, ‘This Girl’ is like a hidden chapter, an emotional encore. If you’re new to Hoover’s work, though, I’d definitely recommend starting with the first book to fully appreciate the journey.
