Every once in a while you come across a book that makes you
sit up, take notice, and take stock of what you have in your life. The book
that did for me was Slammed by Colleen Hoover. Pieces of that story hit so
close to home for me and it made me realize how lucky I am. Reading This Girl
did it to me all over again. I guess in some ways it should. It’s the same
story, only told from Will’s perspective.
What I LOVE about This Girl is the WAY Colleen told the
story. It’s not a simple re-telling of Slammed. It’s more than that. I learned
some things I didn’t know and it has changed the way I look at some of the
events that happened in Slammed. They mean more to me.
This Girl is told in flashbacks. Will and Lake are on their
honeymoon. While they’re enjoying said honeymoon, Lake asks Will questions
about their shared history. This is how we get Will’s side of Slammed. Not only
does it affect me and how I felt about things, it affects Lake, sometimes in
good ways and sometimes in bad. But through it all Will and Lake love each
other and work it out.
This was a wonderful conclusion to the series. The epilogue
is fabulous! I can only hope to be as wonderful a mother as Lake’s mom. She’s
truly an inspiration. This was the perfect book to read on Mother’s Day
Weekend!
