Colleen Hoover’s This Girl Review by Ethan
Hey, Ethan here! Ah, ‘This Girl’ by Colleen Hoover, right? I finished it not too long ago. To be honest, I have mixed feelings about it. It’s always interesting to see an author revisit their characters, especially from a different point of view. In this case, getting inside Will’s head was a fascinating twist.
Hoover’s writing, as always, is compelling. She has this incredible ability to draw you into her characters’ world. The way she reveals Will’s thoughts and feelings adds depth to the entire ‘Slammed’ series. It’s like suddenly seeing the other half of a conversation you’ve only partly overheard.
But, here’s the thing – if you’re expecting something completely new, you might be a bit disappointed. A lot of the book retreads the same ground as the previous ones, but from a different angle. It’s great for filling in gaps and understanding Will better, but it doesn’t exactly move the story forward in a new direction. For me, that was a bit of a letdown.
However, I totally loved the poetry elements in the book. They add this unique texture to the storytelling, something Hoover is really skilled at. So, yeah, it’s a mixed bag for me.
