nitzan_schwarz's Review of This Girl

by Colleen Hoover

There are two sides to every love story. Now hear Will's.

Colleen Hoover's New York Times bestselling Slammed series has brought countless readers to their knees with a whirlwind of love, passion, and heartache. Layken and Will's love has managed to withstand the toughest of circumstances and the young lovers, now married, are beginning to feel safe and secure in their union. As much as Layken relishes their new life together, she finds herself wanting to know everything there is to know about her husband, even though Will makes it clear he prefers to keep the painful memories of the past where they belong. Still, he can't resist his wife's pleas and so he begins to untangle his side of the story, revealing for the first time his most intimate feelings and thoughts, retelling both the good and bad moments, and sharing a few shocking confessions of his own from the time when they first met.

In This Girl, Will tells the story of their complicated relationship from his point of view. Their future rests on how well they deal with the past in this final installment of the beloved Slammed series.

And here it is. Another book I requested eons ago and should've read&reviewed sooner. Publishers, I hate myself for doing this to you, I honestly do. Please don't hate me, too. I'm repenting!
*Clears throat* This one was definitely my favorite book of the trilogy (can I call it a trilogy?), and I am glad I gave it a shot.

Before I start this review, let me be honest with y'all for a second and put all my cards on the table - Lake is one of my least favorite characters in the history of all time. She's the main reason I wasn't crazy over Slammed and Point of Retreat.

But in this book, she was a lot more bearable. Maybe it was the whole jumping in time from their honeymoon to their first months, because it balanced how she acted then with the sweet, teasing girl two years later. And yes, she had one moment of bitchiness (I was slamming my head against the wall), but aside for that it was just lovely to see the two of them together like that. Perfectly happy. Almost sickly sweet.

Maybe it was the fact...
