Colleen Hoover quickly became a favorite author of mine after first reading her first book published: [book:Slammed|30333938]. I have literally read every book she's ever written and had the pleasure of going to her Book Bonanza 2018 and Colleen even gifted the trip to me and my daughter. All we had to do was buy our own food and any books we might purchase. I won the trip just by posting why I wanted to go to her first Book Bonanza! Anyway...

I have read both previous books in this series and and I've loved them all. Slammed was told from Layken's POV but this one is from Will's POV which is always interesting to see how two people's stories are so similar and yet different. It really helped me get to know Will better and I just love him. I also love how some of the poems from the other books are repeated and now I see them in a different light after their love, growth, and now marriage.

Cooleen Hoover...you ROCK!

I didn’t like it and DNFed the book. It wasn’t my cup of tea and quite boring not a fan of the writing

Phenomenal installment to this series. I loved the story from will’s POV. Many thanks to Atria and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

What a perfectly sweet ending to this series. I loved that this was told from Will's Pov. Not only did you get to experience their honeymoon, but you also got to experience the most significant moments of Lake and Will's past through his eyes. And I couldn't think of more perfect way to end this series! I loved it!!

I was so excited to reunite with the Slammed series and dive back into Will and Lake's story. I'm a sucker for an alternate POV, and reading from Will's perspective was an absolute dream.

This Girl is IT girls.

This Girl is phenomenal, delightful, tearful, joyful and soulful.

This Girl is worth shouting from the mountain tops, singing praises into the wee hours of the night, and worth abandoning everything else you want to read.

This Girl will be your end all – the beginning to an ever lasting friendship with author Colleen Hoover.

If you’ve never been in love, dreamed of love, had love and lost love, or finally FOUND love, then you will understand and relate to every emotion felt in This Girl.

She laughs. “I can tell. You can’t keep your mouth off it. Most guys prefer the ass or the boobs. Will Cooper prefers the neck.”

I shake my head, disagreeing with her while I continue running my lips across her incredibly smooth skin. “Nope,” I say. “Will Cooper prefers the whole Lake.” – Lake and Will

Hoover’s a master storyteller. Her writing is lyrical – akin to listening to someone’s fingers caressing the keys on a piano. Every word drew me in. Every sentence left me captivated by the soul inspiring – earth shattering romance between Layken and Will. Where the hell have I been people? Why have I never read anything by Colleen Hoover before???? I think I ought to smack myself a couple hundred thousand times. Her writing is BEYOND words. And Will’s story is beyond anything I’ve ever felt for a character before. He’s the kind of guy you WISH you met. He’s the kind of guy every girl DREAMS of meeting. His story will produce TEARS! *cry* *CRY* Go ahead and have those tissues ready! You’ve been warned.

I kiss her.

I kiss her like it’s the first time I’ve ever kissed her.

I kiss her like it’s the last time I’ll ever kiss her. – Will

According the internet, This Girl is actually a companion to the first two novels which tells the entire love story from Will’s point of view. Not having read Slammed or Point of Retreat, I can only say that This Girl can work as a standalone title – however you will be wishing you had read the other two. TRUST ME! I bought them both immediately after I hit the epilogue. *cries* *STILL CRYING*

The most amazing thing about the novel is the authenticity of its characters. Never once did I say, “oh this character is so one dimensional”. Each character brings a spark to the pages. Something that keeps you reading – something that keeps reeling you back in. You cry with them (A LOT). You laugh with them. You cherish them for who they are, the choices they make, and the love that holds them together.

Overall, I can’t stop gushing about this book. Heck I can’t stop gushing about the author. YOU NEED TO READ IT! You NEED to seek out this author. Colleen Hoover, I think you made a fan girl out of me!!! *swoon*

Colleen Hoover is considered one of the great authors of new adult drama novel. Her books are full of dilemmas, meetings and farewells, and second chances.
When I received this book, I was not prepared for the emotional load coming from it.
I respect the work of the author who has thousands of fans around the world, but her genre of literature is not what attracts me.
4 stars
