Have you heard about THE FABULOUS Slammed Series??!! By the SPECTACULARLY TALENTED author COLLEEN HOOVER?!
Yes!
No!
Well...
Those who haven't WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! Those who have and READ IT. Pat yourself on the back. LOL. Those who haven't here is the summary of the book and MY REVIEW so you understand the urgency of reading it.
Summary:
Slammed
Following the unexpected death of her father, 18-year-old Layken is forced to be the rock for both her mother and younger brother. Outwardly, she appears resilient and tenacious, but inwardly, she's losing hope.
Enter Will Cooper: The attractive, 21-year-old new neighbor with an intriguing passion for slam poetry and a unique sense of humor. Within days of their introduction, Will and Layken form an intense emotional connection, leaving Layken with a renewed sense of hope.
Not long after an intense, heart-stopping first date, they are slammed to the core when a shocking revelation forces their new relationship to a sudden halt. Daily interactions become impossibly painful as they struggle to find a balance between the feelings that pull them together, and the secret that keeps them apart.
Hardships and heartache brought them together…now it will tear them apart.
Layken and Will have proved their love can get them through anything; until someone from Will’s past re-emerges, leaving Layken questioning the very foundation on which their relationship was built. Will is forced to face the ultimate challenge…how to prove his love for a girl who refuses to stop ‘carving pumpkins.’
This poem will basically express how I felt after finishing this lovely fantabulous book.
Handful of Insights
Pierced into my heart
tore me apart
left overwrought
messy case of
emotional dose
I cried and cried
a Lake
My aching pieces of
heart
lying lifelessly
with my balls
of tissues
all over the floor
Made me realize
That I have been
carving
and carving
pumpkins all my life
That I never
Ever.
Put emphasis
on life
all I ever did was
carry on
about all the obstacles in life
Dragging my feet
along
Made me stop and think
What have I been doing
ALL
MY
Life
Question EVERYTHING
That I did
I always did
But I kept admonished
myself thinking
I don't have answers
Why should I keep
circling
the issue when all I will get
is a huge painful
KILLER headache
When ever I needed advice
I looked up
down
left
right
Didn't see anyone standing
Hanging around
To say
I am here
For you
I didn't realize
that God was telling me
Wait
Be patient
I am sending some advice
In the form
of
Slammed
and
Point of Retreat
