| Quote is from Will's poem "My Final Piece" (page 284) |
I finished reading all the books in the Slammed series back to back and here is my quick review of the
final book, This Girl. Right away I
can tell you I rate This Girl five
stars and declare it my personal favorite out of all three (I just “butterflying”
love this book).
This Girl follows
immediately after the wedding when Will and Layken are on their honeymoon.
While on their honeymoon Layken asks Will to tell her about his past and he
agrees. Will begins to tell his version of the events that occur in the first
book, Slammed. I love how we get to
see Will’s vulnerable side, especially since Will appeared to have it all
together in Slammed.
I will say that even though the main events are the same in Slammed, Colleen Hoover flawlessly makes
it different. Will’s retelling of the main events we saw in Slammed as well as his additional
personal events make This Girl a new
story. This Girl is more vulnerable
in a sense that we get to see a side of Will that was never really shown. In
the second book, Point of Retreat, we
see a side of Will that is openly in love with Layken. The side of him that
doesn’t mind showing his affection in public and proving his love on stage.
However, in This Girl we see the side
that tries to deny his feelings and the side that struggles to “keep it
together”. It also helps that the ending is perfect with the time jump and poem
(oh my god the feels).
If I could only recommend one book from the series, This Girl would be it.
