Slammed Series By Colleen Hoover The Slammed series is a powerful trilogy chronicling the love between Layken and Will as they navigate romance, personal tragedy, and the defining choices of young adulthood. When we first meet 18-year-old Layken in “Slammed,” her world has just been upended by the sudden death of her father. She struggles with her grief and her new role as a pillar of strength for her family. Unexpected solace comes in the form of Will, Layken’s passionate 21-year-old neighbor, but their nascent relationship is soon slammed by a shocking revelation. Over the next two books, “Point of Retreat” and “This Girl,” readers gain Will’s perspective as the couple’s emotional and complicated love story deepens. While some criticize certain aspects as repetitive, many praise Hoover’s ability to capture the intense connections and wrenching heartbreaks of first love. Full of raw emotion, the Slammed books approach love, loss, and reconciliation in a haunting yet hopeful manner that lingers with you long after the final page.
