When her escape plan fails, Merit is forced to deal with the staggering consequences of telling the truth and losing the one boy she loves. Merit retreats deeper into herself, watching her family from the sidelines, when she learns a secret that no trophy in the world can fix.įed up with the lies, Merit decides to shatter the happy family illusion that she’s never been a part of before leaving them behind for good. His wit and unapologetic idealism disarm and spark renewed life into her-until she discovers that he’s completely unavailable. While browsing the local antiques shop for her next trophy, she finds Sagan. Merit Voss collects trophies she hasn’t earned and secrets her family forces her to keep. The once cancer-stricken mother lives in the basement, the father is married to the mother’s former nurse, the little half-brother isn’t allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest siblings are irritatingly perfect. They live in a repurposed church, newly baptized Dollar Voss. Sometimes the only thing it deserves is forgiveness. Not every mistake deserves a consequence. Nothing I've read since Point of Retreat has even come close to measuring up.From Colleen Hoover, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us and It Ends with Us, comes a moving and haunting novel of family, love, and the power of the truth. I could gush about your books all day! I have discovered one downside though. I like hot and steamy as much as anybody but it doesn't take the place of plot and character development. Slammed and Point of Retreat proved something I've been thinking as I read book after book in the New Adult genre.
So I started it, and Will totally had me at grilled cheese sandwiches :-) Well, I figured it had to be fairly good if it was her "favorite book ever". It's funny how we tend to shy away from the unfamiliar.Ī couple of weeks ago I wasn't sure what to read next and asked a friend on goodreads to recommend something and she said Slammed was her favorite book ever. I then read the synopsis to Slammed and passed.
Thanks for the add :) I have to say you are just brilliant! I read Hopeless back in late January and immediately wanted another Colleen Hoover book.
