Description: In the second book in the Slammed series by New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, Layken and Will's relationship has endured through hardships, heartache, and a cruel twist of fate, further solidifying the fact that they belong together. But the two lovers could not have expected that the things that brought them together may ultimately be the things that tear them apart. Their connection is on the brink of being destroyed forever and it will take an extraordinary amount of willpower to keep their love afloat.

Layken is left questioning the very foundation on which her relationship with Will was built. Will is left questioning how he can prove his love for a girl who can't seem to stop "carving pumpkins." Upon finding the answers that may bring peace back into their relationship, the couple comes across an even greater challenge—one that could change not only their lives but the lives of everyone who depend on them.

I don't remember much about this one, so I'm looking forward to it!

I'm interested to see where this one takes us.

I love the gift Lakin's mom gave them. Vaughn is going to be trouble.

Yes, that was such a neat idea!

I knew it was going to be trouble with Vaughn. Will should have told Layken about her being in his class and how she was acting. Now, it looks like he was hiding something. What's up with his grandmother being nice to Vaughn and rude to Layken?

WTH! Colleen Hoover loves to rip my heart out!!!! Why?

I love Keirsten! I hate bullies!!!! I love Keirsten's Slam and Will's brother's Slam. I loved everything about this one.

He definitely should have told her! I feel Layken is kind of being dramatic, but she is only 18 and this is her first serious relationship, so I can understand, lol.

She was but understandable due to her age, lack of experience and the loss of both parents.

I bet you would love . I wish we could find it in audio! They have them on Audible....but I don't want to buy all of them, lol.

I love how Will handled the teacher. It was smooth, lol.

Oh my. And why is her name Vaughn? Lol. I'm at the part where they are about to go on the trip.

He should have mentioned Vaughn. Was Gavin in the last book.

Vaughn wrote: "He should have mentioned Vaughn. Was Gavin in the last book."

Yes, but he wasn't mentioned a lot. He was Eddie's boyfriend in Slammed, too. I think he maybe did a slam for her while they were in class?

For done reason I thought his name was Nick. Lol

I understand she's upset by what she saw but she's acting childish by not letting him explain.

There might have been a Nick, too? Honestly, I have no idea, lol. But I'm pretty sure Gavin was Eddie's boyfriend in book 1...just not mentioned as much.

Vaughn wrote: "I understand she's upset by what she saw but she's acting childish by not letting him explain."

I thought the same thing. How many times could drama in books be averted if there was just some communication, lol. I do get why she was mad at him, but if I were her I would have stuck around for the explanation. Like...Explain what this bitch is doing here??? Lol

Lol gotcha

I would've stayed and talked it out.. Got some answers.

Just finished.. Was about to be pissed off head something happened a certain way. Had me scared. This was a good book. Started of a little slow but picked up. Had that 2nd book problem but she pivoted well.

Yes, Gavin was in Slammed and he did write that Slam for Eddie.

True. Too many times people jump to conclusions without finding out all the details.

I missed the slam he wrote I think

Vaughn wrote: "I missed the slam he wrote I think"

It was probably in the part you missed. You'll have to go back and listen to it sometime!
