Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover - Book Review

ā€œSometimes two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back togetherā€


Point of Retreat is the second book of Slammed series by New York Times bestseller Colleen Hoover which added a little more story to Will and Lake’s life together.
Lake’s mother is dead and now both love birds are trying to manage their lives, both raising younger brothers. The young couple get charge of their lives and now they’re making REALLY important decisions which Lake’s mother, Julia, has warned them about before her death.
The story revolves around how Lake thinks the conditions would be if their parents were not dead and how she analyses each and every moment. In this book Lake’s ā€œwhat ifā€ game is too strong. Whereas, Will, being Will tries to be the one who fix everything.
ā€œLove is the most beautiful thing in the world. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the hardest things in the world to hold on to, and one of the easiest things to throw away.ā€


While reading the book I felt like the story is being dragged by adding so much drama, without which the book would still be good. Lake is getting too impossible to deal with in many parts of the story.
But after all of this drama and emotional scenes, the ending left me breathless once again.ā¤

Looking for Alaska Book Review

- The obsession of Miles with last words made me believe that a person's last words do have some kind of meaning. Alaska Young, always being moody, self-destructive, rebellious, reckless somehow finding distractions from her inner struggles & always looking for a way out of the labyrinth. Her death was tragic indeed. She left many mysteries behind. - The love that Miles had for Alaska made it more worse for him to forget that he let her go alone that night, drunk & messed up. Alaska truly didn't find her way out of the labyrinth but she did write it 'Straight & fast'. 'If people were rain, I was drizzle & she was a hurricane' - John Green ā¤   

October - A Slam

For ladies out there, all young and old age For fighter s out there, all ready to show grace For victims out there, fading at snail’s pace October , dear October be a blessing for the braves My mother was a beauty , brown hairs black eyes From head to toe, an example of how to live a life When she fell ill, I thought it was ordinary But the doctors concluded what put me through hell I’ve always admired the way she tied Her long hairs in a pretty French braid Then one day she started to hide under scarfs I was sad , so sad , to see her this bald I cried every night when I heard her threw up Couldn’t tell she was same Cause she gained weight too much I stood deadpan in hallway of hospital The night she lost all her potential It was October , yes October I prayed and prayed October , dear October be a blessing for the braves "Dedicated to all victims and survivors of breast cancer."
