I thought I’m going to like Point of Retreat more than Slammed as it was from Will’s pov, instead of Lake’s, and I have always liked Will more. I was wrong, mostly because I forgot Lake doesn’t have to be the Point of View for her to be annoying. And Will had his stupid moments, as well. However, from the second part of the book I really enjoyed it. I just had to waddle through the first half to get there...
January 1st, 2012I don’t think I’ve ever been more frustrated and annoyed with a couple of people than I’ve been with Lake and Will in the first part of this book.
"Resolutions"
I’m confident 2012 will be our year. Mine and Lake’s year.
--First Paragraph Point of Retreat
Will, our darling, loving, mature poet with the kind heart and responsible mind is the one narrating this book. We get part of his diary and I loved those parts as they often included poems he wrote, and those were good. As far as narration goes, I liked his a lot more than Lake’s. But he made some stupid decisions in the course of the book… the kind of decision that make you scream “DON’T DO THAT!” and wonder what the hell the hero thinks is going to happen. Like, not telling Lake about his ex... Dude, have you never watched a chick-movie? Don't you know that's bound to bite you in the ass eventually...?
