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 humour 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
My Review:
Wow- words cannot express the emotional roller coaster this book will take you on.
You are introduced to something that for me I had never heard of, Slam Poetry,
and it is amazing.
Will and Layken are absolutely fantastic together and to go into more detail would totally take away the uniqueness of the story, and spoil it for you, you will just have to take my word for the fact that this is a special book, it is action packed and you will not be dissapointed one bit, and it must be read.
Colleen you did mighty fine work with this book, I cant wait to finish book 2 , I sat glued in one spot reading 'Slammed' and didn't move for 4 hours, except of course to grab my tissues.
And I must say that for 2012 this was my favourite book !!
5 stars from me
A little about the author:
I love music. LOVE music. Namely The Avett Brothers, Lumineers, Pink, Eminem. I have eclectic taste? If you have any recommendations, send them my way!
I'm addicted to diet pepsi and could tell you in a taste-test which restaurant it came from. It's a serious addiction, I tell you.
I get stoked whenever I get a message from goodreads saying I have a new friend request...so request me, dangit!
