Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover

Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover - Book Review

“Sometimes two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together”

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 “what if” game is too strong. Whereas, Will, being Will tries to be the one who fix everything.

“Love 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.”

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.

Eleanor and Park Book Review

Eleanor & Park is the story of two star-crossed lovers written by Rainbow Rowell. Rainbow Rowell is one of my favorite writers. The magic she does with words is what every reader craves. She knows how to make her reader connect with the story and make them live it. The story is all about finding your first love and letting yourself get lost in the pleasure of being consumed by it. Rowell in an interview said "I've always, always wanted to write first love story. I feel like, when you're 16, you've the greatest ever capacity for romantic love. You fall in love with every cell of your body. But at the same time, at that age, you've so little to offer the person you love. You don't belong to yourself quite yet - you still have school & your parents, your own space - and you also know that what you're feeling probably won't last. First love usually doesn't. There's a built-in tragedy to falling (truly) in love when you're 16.It's ...
