From #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us and It Ends with Us, Colleen Hoover’s romantic, emotion-packed debut novel unforgettably captures all the magic and confusion of first love, as two young people forge an unlikely bond before discovering that fate has other plans for them.

Following the unexpected death of her father, eighteen-year-old Layken becomes the rock for both her mother and younger brother. She appears resilient and tenacious, but inside, she's losing hope. Then she meets her new neighbor Will, a handsome twenty-one-year-old whose mere presence leaves her flustered and whose passion for poetry slams thrills her.

Not long after a heart-stopping first date during which each recognizes something profound and familiar in the other, they are slammed to the core when a shocking discovery brings 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 forces that tear them apart. Only through the poetry they share are they able to speak the truth that is in their hearts and imagine a future where love is cause for celebration, not regret.

Slammed. I have to say I was so moved by this story, I felt everything like I was living it! I cried, I laughed its a wonderful read, I'm off tothe second book....

Alexa Madison

Pretty good... I love all of Colleen Hoover’s books. This one is probably my least favorite though. Seems like it doesn’t have a good “flow” to it. One minute Tate and will meet and then all of sudden they’re in love. I find Tate’s character kind of immature throughout the whole book.

Aithy Nguyen

Filled with love and depth. After finishing this book, I couldn’t stop thinking about the impact it had on me. I loved so much of this book including the characters, plot, poetry, affection. From the beginning it engrossed me with ever page and made me feel joy, sadness, humor, and meaning. A great read and would highly recommend.

Aiñe West

Holy Crap. Oh my god. This book destroyed me and put the pieces back together all within a few hours. This book made me truly think about life, death, and everything in between. Absolutely heartbreaking in the best possible way. Sobbed for a few minutes after finishing, and I’ve never done that with a book before. If 10/5 stars was an option I’d give it in a heartbeat.

Slammed - what a terrific book!. Came across this book by accident and so glad I did. What an amazing first novel and to have it self published just makes it more so! Kudos to Colleen for writing characters and a story that really ring true. Can't wait to read the 2nd book! Two of my favorite characters.

TremlH

Heartwarming and Heartbreaking. Good story and lessons to live by!

Kelseamachado

Amazing Series!!. The one of the best books I've ever read by far!! I laughed, cried, and found myself having a hard time putting the book down.

Kathysilv04

Amazing. I’ve never read a book like this and I am so happy that i found it, my new favorite book :)

Wounmee

OMG sooooo good!!!!. Slammed was so good. It's like one of those books that you never want to put down once you start. Love the drama the twisted situations. Colleen Hoover is one of my favorite authors of all times. Her books end ironic endings that leave you wanting more. I really recommend that you read slammed first before reading any of her other books in slammed series. Because if you don't it will not make sense. The three books that so well together. I just wish they had a fourth one coming out. I wish they made a movie out of it is because this book is amazing. No let me restate that her books are amazing. I am now such a big Colleen Hoover fan !!!!

Rosejulian7

Another great Colleen Hoover book. This is my 4th book of Colleen’s and it did not disappoint. This story had a commonality in the Michigan connection which was cool and the story line pulled at me a lot of times. I cried a couple times throughout it. Another great read and can’t wait to read the next in the Slammed series!

Jewboykillah

A year jerking story. I can’t believe what I just read, I cried so much during this book. Colleen hover did it again!!!

Itzhashley

Slow and not as good as her other books. This one was the slowest of the 5 I’ve read so far. I almost gave up on it half way through, but then finally got pulled in. I finished it wishing there was more. I would recommend reading her other books over this one.

Native cali chic

❤️ this book- HATE the new cover. Colleen's writing style is a dream, you'll forget your reading with how she develops these characters and allows us to become engrossed in their lives.

K4near

Loved it, but update messed up the book.. Love Colleen Hoover and all her books! I had to update my digital copy and now I have 39 pages telling me that there is a mistake at the bottom of the page....what do I do now?

Rdfgjfgh

Lovely ❤❤❤. This author is insane! I love her writing. It captures me in so many ways. I def fell so butterflyin in love with this book! The poetry, the messages, the heartache and love, and truth! This was so realistic and touching! Must read!

Ituner pls

Disappointed :(. I read this after reading the Hopeless series and it does not compare! Throughout the entire book, beginning to end, I was in the back of my mind, thinking 'is this the same author?' The characters had little connection and strained, stiff emotions. I did not favor either of the main characters. There was no angst moments. I nearly skimmed the whole book, waiting for a real moment to be excited about. I guess my expectations were hoping to parallel with Hopeless, but I was unfortunately disappointed with this one. It seemed like it was written for a much younger crowd, even though both stories are set in high school. Was there a better beta reader/editor reached after this series that brought better dialog, writing and character development? I'll be waiting for newer reads if so.

Dilweezies

Inspirational. Got me hook on the first page. Love the open relationship between mom and daughter. It is a very inspiring and educational story. Totally love it.

Rootsofwonder

Love!. I chose to read this book after my 1st read from this author "Verity". I decided to try another one of her books, which brought me to Slammed. I loved this book. I was easily drawn in and enthralled with the characters and i cried.. a lot. Im looking forward to the next book in the series.

Gkgraygirl

Loved it!. So incredibly good. I will remember this read for a long time.

JadeattheBeach

Wow. This book was perfect. I laughed and cried throughout. It's amazing.

Sibby_ben

Ooof. I really wanted to like this book but the female main character is beyond immature and selfish and it is hard to swallow. It’s actually frustrating how she acts at times and while I understand she is 18, it’s definitely aggravating. I just don’t think this book has the same magic that her other books have and I was a little disappointed by it.

Kerry LeClere

Awesome. Didn’t expect such a great book! I’m obsessed with Colleen now

MishaAT

I could have passed on this one.. I’ve read several by Hoover and have enjoyed each and every one. Many of which I could not put down. However this one was a disappointment. The characters seemed a bit too immature for me and I had a difficult time getting past that. Didn’t grab me like her others.

Lana.walkertwentyone

Love it !. I definitely cried at the end ! Such a good book!!!

Globug83

Amazing. Great story. Love everything about it.

Kmfulce

One of my FAVORITES!. I really enjoyed this book. It's about a girl falling in love with the boy across the street.. that just so happens to end up being her poetry teacher at the beginning of Senior year. Its a lovely read, and I think anyone would enjoy it.

Samantha Southerland

Selfless love. Such a sweet tear jerker, in the best way.

Bookjunkie65

Nice Distraction. This was a nice little distraction. Somewhat of an emotional book I shed a few tears. Buying the sequel.

Ksh287

Perfectly heart wrenching read. Such a great book, as all of Her books are. Let me in tears and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

Yoloalltheway

Sweet. It was a sweet story. I only purchased it because I read Hopeless and Losing Hope which I had completely fell in love with. Slammed was sweet but no comparison to Hopeless.

Butterflyingawesome

So Slammed. This book was amazing! I read all three books of the series in less than 24 hours. I was hooked! I absolutely love Will Cooper!! Definitely recommend it (and the rest in the series)! <3

Linda_c_houk

Amazing!!. Could not stop reading!

TiffSnow

Awesome. I read this book in one day! I did not put it down! The multiple stories that happen in this book are touching. You know a book is good when you are laughing and crying!

Did it for the new pack

The point is there is no point…. I typically give Colleen Hoover a 5 star review but her writing in this book was a little more spastic. Still a good read and I will finish the series. I can tell that this is one of her earlier books due to the way she writes here. I shed a tear or two and had my heartstrings pulled again.

Seasonsbieberr

Definitely read it!. I absolutely fell in love with this book. Honestly read it!! Please 10/10

Enmackey

Omg…. Have some tissues ready. It was a great book!

Bruhfromthehood

You must read it!!!!!. It's my new all time favorite book. This kind of reminded me of Ezra and aria from pll !!! I loved how there relationship had to go through many obstacles along the way and that's what made this book even more exiting and great. I can't wait till I get to read the second book. I'm really looking forward to it. Will and Lake are so lovable.

Nm0916

Reviewer - MT

Enjoyed very much!. I honestly didn't know what to expect from this book. I'd heard the buzz I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns in the plot. The conflict is strong--although it reminded me a bit of a book I read with a 19 year-old cop--which meant the tension was high throughout the book. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star was that the hero and heroine's lives mirrored the other's a little too much to be believable, but their romance was so good, it made up for much of that. Actually, what is really stellar in this book is the Slam Poetry. I mean top-notch. I was amazed at how good it was. This is said to be her debut novel and I think it's a great start to Ms. Hoover's writing career. I loved Will and Lake, particularly the Will. He's the sort of dreamy hero most females, both young and old, would give their eyeteeth for. I I've already read the sequel Point of Retreat, and although that did disappoint me, this book can certainly stand on its own, although it took me several days to get over feeling the sequel took away from the enjoyment of this book.

LauraPichy

Loved it!. Amazing!!!

Julia's opinion

6e52bc

Loved this book. Couldn't put it down. I loved lakes and wills story. Even though it moved quick and seemed unreal as far as their stories go, the characters made up for it. Kel and Caulder were hilarious. Lake and her cleaning scene cracked me up. I honestly love this authors work. I like the "slam" scenes. Can't wait for more!!

Sha123sha

Wow. I read Hopeless first I didn't think someone could strike Gold twice but she did. This book was so good I gave up sleep until I finished it. The characters are real and I want to follow there story. I just downloaded the next book in the series I cannot with to read it.
