~My Review~
“Point of Retreat” is the sequel of “Slammed” (Slammed#1). In Colleen Hoover Slammed Series .
The main characters in this novel are Lake and Will whom are in a relationship together for over a year ago on December eighteen.
The narration of this novel is told by Will’s perspective.
After Will’s after parents passed away he was left to raise his two little brothers Kel and Caulder.
With Lake’s help and support in rising them together.
Will is starting spring semester at college and on the first day Will notices the girl in the front row.
When she turns around in her seat his heart sinks.
Then she walks over and sits next to him.
She was his ex girl friend Vaughn who left him when his parents passed away.
Will hadn’t seen Vaughn in almost three years and parted in bad terms.
she left him at a time that he needed her most.
Vaughn acted excited to see him.
Will convinced himself that Lake didn’t need to know this.
One day out of the blue Vaughn shows up at his place wanting to talk to him as she sits on his bed.
She wants to make amends and say sorry to Will.
Vaughn smiles and hugs Will good bye as closure between them.
Will gives Vaughn a peck on her forehead as they pull apart.
That’s when Will sees Lake standing in the doorway watching them and then leaves.
SCENCE from book:
“Lake it’s nothing. I swear. It’s nothing.”
“I saw you, Will. I saw you hugging her. It wasn’t nothing,” she cries. “You kissed her forehead! Why would you do that?” She isn’t trying to hold back her tears this time.
“I’m sorry, Lake. I’m so sorry. It didn’t mean anything. I was asking her to leave.”
That was a very well written emotional scene in the novel. Will’s world was crushing around him as the novel said.
I could really feel the raw emotions from them both in this novel. I could read behind their heart aches and pain.
The way Will wipes the tears from Lakes face, it makes me melt feeling their love clearly.
The roller coaster ride of their ups and downs and the obstacles trying to tear them both apart .
The love behind Will’s touches, the kisses, the way he caresses Lake’s face, and how he holds her hand in his proudly. Will there love in the end be enough? Reading this novel as I turned each page it got hard to put this novel down. The writer made this great love story come to live sounding very realistic in my opinion.
Many supporting characters, besides the main characters were an enjoyment to read.
Two of my favorite characters were of course Lake and Will. If I had to choice again I would say
It would be Will’s little brothers, Kel and Caulder. Both playing a big part in this novel.
I would recommend this novel to every one and every one looking for a great love story.
I would honestly rate this novel five stars out of five. It’s a must read novel with a magical love story told.
