Holy Crap, Colleen Hoover!

I'm officially a fan. I really became a fan after Maybe, Someday but I'm really really a fan now.

This book was bad-ass!!
I loved the heartache between not only the two love birdies but also between Lake and her mom. The character development was freaking crazy in this book. I literally didn't want it to end.

Not to mention, this book made me tear up like 5 times. Unheard of for me!!

I also loved how the idea of a poetry reading aka "slamming" was cool. Nowadays, a poetry reading is lame but Hoover made it sound so real and raw and, god dammit, I WANT TO GO TO ONE!!!

Needless to say, I loved the fact that Will and Lake had a little teacher/student interaction going on. Loved that shit. It added so much more depth and awkwardness to the story. Not to mention the tension. Oh the feels!!!

I bought this trilogy on a whim yesterday and I'm so glad I did because now I can pick up the second book. Read this book now!!!
