Slammed by Colleen Hoover

Overview of the Book:

I never thought I would like poetry, I never thought I would have a book impact me in the way that this one did. But sometimes, the unexpected happens. We cannot have control over the uncontrollable.

With the most uncontrollable thing being the matters and feelings of the heart. So when I say that my heart adored this book. That’s not something to take lightly.

So, this is my discussion, thoughts and feelings on the movie compared to the book.
