Falling in love can feel like poetry. Or it can feel like
a slam to the heart.
Colleen Hoover’s romantic, emotion-packed debut novel
unforgettably captures all the magic and confusion of first
love, as two young people forge an unlikely bond before
discovering that fate has other plans for them.
Following the unexpected death of her father,
eighteen-year-old Layken becomes the rock for both her
mother and younger brother. She appears resilient and
tenacious, but inside, she's losing hope. Then she meets her
new neighbor Will, a handsome twenty-one-year-old whose mere
presence leaves her flustered and whose passion for poetry
slams thrills her.
Not long after a heart-stopping first date during which each
recognizes something profound and familiar in the other,
they are slammed to the core when a shocking discovery
brings their new relationship to a sudden halt. Daily
interactions become impossibly painful as they struggle to
find a balance between the feelings that pull them together
and the forces that tear them apart. Only through the poetry
they share are they able to speak the truth that is in their
hearts and imagine a future where love is cause for
celebration, not regret.
