My Heart Got Slammed (in the Best Way Possible!) by Colleen Hoover


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 Will’s connection isn’t instant perfection; it’s messy and raw, just like real life. And the poetry woven throughout? Chef’s kiss! ðŸ’–

It reminded me a bit of the emotional depth you find in a really good indie film, where every line feels significant. You know, like that scene in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind where you just feel the characters' internal struggles. It’s not always comfortable, but it’s always compelling.

Honestly, there were moments I had to remind myself to breathe. The emotional rollercoaster is intense in the best possible way. I laughed, I teared up, and I definitely ugly-cried a time or two. But it was worth every single tear.


Go Ahead and Treat Yourself! 📖✨

So, if you’re looking for a book that will grab you by the heartstrings and not let go, Slammed is it. It’s a fantastic escape from the daily grind, and trust me, we all deserve a little literary indulgence. 

Go ahead, treat yourself to a copy on Kindle or whatever way you prefer. You’ve earned it, my friend! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to see what other CoHo magic awaits! Happy reading!


~ Michelle
