Not her best. I bit silly and immature. Not up to her usual level of storytelling.

Excellent book!. Loved everything about this book!!!

Enjoyable, teen read. I did enjoy it, however not as much as the first one. This one is from Wills narrative and I more so enjoyed Lake being narrator. Good and entertaining read nonetheless!

Not her best work. I’ve read almost all of Hoover’s books and this one was by far the worst. The storyline was too sporadic and the details were elementary at best... if I didn’t have a need to finish every book I start, I would’ve quit much sooner.

Amazing!!!. I LOVED This book!! This is such a perfect love story. This book has definitely made my top 5. I wish the story could go on, but I accept the ending. It was FANTASTIC!! Thank you Colleen for such an amazing story. :-)

Great book!!!. Must read !!!

Butterflying Amazing. I loved her first book in the series and this one proved to be equally amazing. I love how she continued with the slam poetry and even got the kids do it. The essence of family is well crystallized here and u can't help but find yourself absorbed in what is happening to the characters. I just love it.

Absolutely Amazing. Just read it. Do it.

Awesome, amazing,love!!!. All of her books are too amazing! I love them all, they are must reads. They are the best stories of love, hope , heartache friendship and happiness I can't get enough!!

I butterfly love it!. A must read . Very inspiring, sweet, romantic..just like the first one. One of my favorite authors of all time! She has brought back the spark in me to write, read and appreciate my love for poetry.

Slammed & Point of Retreat!! Definitely a must read!!. I love love "Slammed" and "Point of Retreat"!! I enjoyed reading both books soooooo much!! I read both books over the course of 3 days!! The series is an intense and powerful/moving story about love and life and loss/death and family and friendship... There are a lot of moments of joy/happiness, heartaches and sorrow and hardships... I think the story was very well written and all the characters are amazing and real with raw emotions... The slam poetry written in this book are pretty powerful too!! There is also a lot of GREAT advice that you can use and apply to your own life that you would benefit from!! This book made me laugh out loud so many times and sigh and cry and cry... It was more like sobbing with snots and all... Oh yeah, it's a tearjerker!! :'( and then I would laugh some more... My heart was being pulled in all sorts of directions... Definitely a must read!! I loved loved it!!

Disappointed. For the reasons I loved Slammed, I was throughly disappointed with Point of Retreat. Was this written by the same author? Where did all the detailed expressions, emotions, the touch, the words she used in Slammed that me feel all that Lake felt. She made Will's POV seem so matter of fact with no intensity. Will writes poetry, but severely lack the ability to describe his emotions with any passion, hunger, lust or severity.

Slammed. I thought the story to be an inspiration to all. It makes you think in terms of your own life. Ask questions, push your boundaries! I love stories that make me feel and I hope you will too!

My new favorite author. Addictive. Didn't want the book to end. I already miss the characters!

One of my favorites by Hoover. Love this series. It’s been underrated and not in the press as much as others. So good

Complete!. Thank you for completing the characters, introducing new quirky ones and keeping this group of friends real! What a great read! And the ending, omg, I love great endings and this one hit the spot.

Slammed and point of retreat. Best books I've read In a long time!! Absolutely wonderful!! You will love them!

All time fav!!!!!. I read both books Slammed & point of Retreat in one day & I can honestly say these are my all time favorite fiction books. Reading both books I cried hysterical, I laughed, & I felt pain for the characters. I wish I had taken longer to read them. These books are a must read !

Sad. Great story wish there was more...I want more for Will and Layken, story end to fast😕

Amazing novel. This book is well written and sweeps you into Lake and Will's undying battle of love for one another with many trials and tribulations they face. Therefore, this book made me cry and laugh. I couldn't get enough of the sequel to Slammed. These two books are simply a amazing!

Not as good as the others. I just came across Colleen Hoover last week when I saw “it ends with us” on Instagram. Since then I read five of her books in four days. There is no doubt that she can pull you in and captivate you with her characters and their raw human emotions. “Point of retreat” was the fifth book of hers that I read and let me tell you I was disappointed. Hoover obviously is a talented writer but, her writing from the male perspective is lacking in emotion compared to her female perspective writing. I felt this way about “ugly love” but that was only a partial and this book was entirely male perspective. I did read the whole thing but it was bland and it felt like she was forcing herself to not right from a female perspective and in turn made the male character so boring. She did not hit it out of the park this time.

Read it. A little slow at first but worth it. Just remember to read Slammed first or else it won’t make much sense.

Butterflying loved this book!. I absolutely fell in love with the characters and storyline of this book. Will and Lake are perfect for one another - and where can you find a good guy like Lake who takes care of not only her but her brother as well? Perfect love story. It's a must read!

Be prepared to cry!. Great love story! They are perfect for each other...

Loved it. Don't listen to the spoiler! Don't even read it!! This is a wonderful love story... Loved every second of it!

Buterflying Awsome!. Couldn't put it down. I laughed, cried and smiled!

wish there were more. simply put. wish i could continue reading more of the story... why did colleen hoover stop where she did?!

Fav Author!. Love love LOVE this series!!! Read it multiple times and I still laugh and cry every time!!!

So many emotions!!!. This was such a great book. I laughed, I cried, I ooooohed, and I awwwwwed. I thought it was better than the first!!!!

Slammed and Point of Retreat. They were both great books you laugh and cry. Read them both I am telling all my friends.

LOVE LAKE'S & WILL'S STORY!. Both books are amazing! So easy to read! The excellent combination of fun, drama & romance, just like Hopeless, the first book I read of this author.

Love this author!. I read Hopeless last week after it was rated & reviewed so well. Fell in love with that book! So this weekend I've spent on Slammed/Retreat when I found breaks from the wife/mother roles. The stories are so captivating, entertaining, enlightening, and just plain FUN to read! I'm ready for her next book! Excellent writing! Thanks!

Must read ;). No regrets!

Really??. Too many tragic things happen to this couple. It was a tease in the end. Seriously. I'm not thrilled. I read this book in a day just to get it over with.

Slammed/point of retreat. Loved both of these books! They are the first books I have read in just one day each. I laughed and I cried several times while reading these books. There are lots of turn of events that keep you on the edge of your seat. The characters are very admirable. The poetry in these books is amazing as well. Overall, they are wonderful books that I hope have more coming!

Still Carving Pumpkins!. Absolutely loved this heartfelt book! I laughed, I cried I couldn't get enough.. This book is a must read after the 1st I would definitely read a 3rd if the author wrote one to add to the series!!!

So much love. First of all before reading point of retreat I recommend you to read slammed, i'm because point of retreat makes so much more sense of why certain events happened. And why a character feels the way they do. Point of retreat was my favorite one of all three. It made me cry so many times. I love the drama . Sometimes I feel like I'm in the story. Causes you to react towards certain events in the story. I would definitely recommend you to read all slammed series and I know for sure you would love point of retreat. Colleen Hoover is the best trust me you will not be disappointed. The book is so easy to read and understand nothing too complicated. OMG just read it you will love it. I promise!!!!

Great Author. I love this book as much as the other 2. If you like Hopeless you will enjoy this book too. It is a very touching story of a family that has had many misfortunes but they still manage to be happy and live an amazing life. A story of a family that has been through a lot together but manage to hold on o this amazing bond.

Bella. I love both books! I just wished it didn't end where it did, I need more of Will and Layken!!! I hope Colleen Hoover writes book 3.

Wow. Better than Slammed! I laughed I cried and I cried some more then I swooned!

Butterflying LOVED it!. Man she did it again! I didn't think this book would be so good! I wish it didn't end so soon but it def made me laugh, smile, on the verge of tears and def gave me butterflies! Just download it and read! & make sure u hop on slammed too! Ahhh! Another book please?!!

Slammed. One of the most amazing books! Love, love, love,love it!

Butterflying Awesome!. Possibly better than the first book. Heart warming, well developed and thought out characters make this a must read. You are write there with them all as you cry, laugh, and fall in love. I agree with Jaime McGuire's assessment, the whole read was definitely, "Pure Poetry!"

Me encanta!!!!. Nunca habia llorado tanto leyendo un libro pero me parecio buenisimo no es facil parar de leer y no Queria q se acabara no veo la hora de leer mas libros de Ella.... I cry so much with this book, is not easy to put down I didn't want it to end I can't wait to read more books from her

I should have quit while I was ahead. Although I read and enjoyed SLAMMED (I did have to really do a lot of suspending of belief to do that), I was unable to suspend my belief for this story. **SPOILER ALERT** Major spoilers ahead - Read at your own risk There are just too many things I could not buy. One is that Lake's dying mother would make Will promise not to have sex with her ADULT daughter until a full year after her death. No one does that. Second, that Will would actually make and keep that promise. Third is that every time they're together and making out, although Lake is willing, Will refuses to have sex with her, even after the year time period has lapsed. They then plan this entire weekend together where they'll finally "do the deed" and of course 15 minutes before they leave, the ex-girlfriend shows up at his house and refuses to leave. Of course Lake arrives just as Will is comforting his ex (kiss on the forehead) and storms out. Weekend is shot to hell and Lake refuses to talk to Will. This not talking goes on for a bit. When it finally looks like they're FINALLY going to get together, tragedy strikes. At this point, I'm so frustrated with the book I'm skimming like crazy and wondering what on earth the author was thinking when she wrote it. In the end, I was so disappointed, I wished I had just stuck with SLAMMED and hadn't read a word of this book because it ended up tainting SLAMMED for me. I learned my lesson and I will definitely not pick up another book about these two characters if one should come out. I should have quit while I was ahead.

Absolutely Love it. Butterflying amazin

Suspend belief? OK.. I agree with the spoiler in that I had to suspend all belief about the sex, or lack thereof. It is ridiculous to think that two people totally in love at that age would have this restraint, and I don't think that story line added anything to the book overall. I also agree that the timing of some events are unbelievably coincidental, and predictable - I saw both coming from a mile away. That being said, I loved this book. I thought it was witty and charming and lovely and I laughed out loud a number of times. We suspend belief all of the time in movies and I have no problem doing that for this beautiful story.

Great Book!. Enjoyed this book very much! Easy read too!
