Poignant Plot Reviews

  Michelle here, and yes, I’m still firmly entrenched in the emotional rollercoaster that is the Colleen Hoover universe.  After the beautiful, complicated journey of Lake and Will, I decided to dive into something new, but still within the CoHo realm: *Hopeless*. And let me tell you, this one… well, it left me feeling a lot of things, but definitely not hopeless! Lost, Found, and Totally Hooked: My Take on Hopeless by Colleen Hoover ✨ You know how it is – you finish one amazing series, and you're left with that "what do I read now?" feeling. Well, thanks to the endless scroll on my Kindle app, I landed on *Hopeless*. My husband just shakes his head now when he sees me glued to the iPad, but hey, a girl needs her literary escape from HR policies and teenage angst! A Dive into the Deep End… 🌊 "Hopeless" introduces us to Sky, a homeschooled senior who suddenly finds herself enrolled in public school and quickly drawn to Dean Holder.

My Heart Got Slammed (Again!) in Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover 💖 Michelle again, I'm back. You guys know I’m a sucker for a good book series, and after the absolute gut-punch (in the best way!) that was Slammed , I immediately dove headfirst into Point of Retreat .  My Kindle app on the iPad is practically glued to my hand these days, and my husband is just resigned to me mumbling about fictional characters at dinner. 🤷‍♀️ Picking Up Where We Left Off… (Mostly!) 🤔 Point of Retreat continues Lake and Will’s story, and let me tell you, it does not disappoint.

My Heart Got Slammed (in the Best Way Possible!) by Colleen Hoover 🤯 Hey everyone! Michelle here, and let me tell you, it's been a week. Between wrangling two teenagers (send wine and chocolate!), two fluffy golden retrievers who think they're lap dogs, and a full-time job, my Kindle App on the iPad is my happy place along with writing blogs. And let me tell you, I found a new happy place in Colleen Hoover's Slammed . What's the Hype All About? 🤔 I've seen Colleen Hoover books everywhere, and I finally decided to dive into Slammed . And wow. Just… wow. This isn't your typical fluffy romance, though it definitely has its swoon-worthy moments.  The story follows Layken (Lake) as she navigates loss, new beginnings, and a seriously complicated love story with her neighbor, Will. It’s got poetry, it’s got angst, and it’s got more feels than a Hallmark movie marathon. Why It Slammed Me (in a Good Way!) 💖 What I loved about Slammed is how real it felt. Lake and Wi...
