Point of Retreat (Slammed, #2) by Colleen Hoover - A Review

This one just didn’t work for me the way I hoped it would. I liked Slammed, but this felt like a step back. A lot of the conflict felt more drawn out than it needed to be, and instead of pulling me in, it started to wear on me.

I struggled with the characters more this time around. Some of their choices felt frustrating, and the emotional tension leaned more toward dramatic than meaningful for me. I kept wanting things to either move forward or dig a little deeper, but it sort of stayed stuck in the same loop.

There are still some sweet moments, and you can see what it’s trying to do with love, trust, and working through complicated feelings. But for me, it just didn’t hit as well as the first book.

Overall, it wasn’t a bad read, just not one I connected with. I finished it, but mostly out of curiosity rather than being fully invested.
