Rating: 4.5/5 
 ***Minor spoilers, big spoilers for book one!*** 
 This book is told from Will's perspective, and begins a year or so after the death of Lake's mother. Lake and Will's relationship has developed a lot in a year, and Kel and Caulder are even better friends. We're also introduced to a new girl who is Kel and Caulder's age named Kiersten, who is Will and Lake's neighbour. There are a lot of hardships in Lake and Will's relationship in this book, but we a good resolution at the end of the book. 
 I loved this book more than I thought I would! Slammed was my least favourite Colleen Hoover book so far, so I didn't expect much from Point of Retreat. I think Point of Retreat may actually be my favourite Colleen Hoover novel at this point. Of course, I still need to work my way through her other novels, but I thought this one was pretty amazing. It made me feel so much, which is one of the reasons I love her novels. Sometimes we just need to read a romance that jerks our emotions along with it. 
 I was actually debating whether I would rate this book 4 or 4.5 but I went with 4.5 because of all the emotions (and crying) that this book had me doing. Granted, crying isn't my favourite thing to do, but I think it's a pretty amazing thing when an author can make you care so much that you cry when something happy or sad happens. I didn't really have high hopes for this book until maybe halfway through when things started getting better. Until then I thought I was going to rate in 3 stars since I was fairly frustrated with how their relationship was going. 
 There were frustrating parts to this story but also parts where you didn't want it to end. At one point of the book, Lake and Will were both acting extremely immature and refusing to listen to each other or talk it out like adults. This went on for a while and had me really irritated, and I was very very relieved when someone decided to talk sense into Will and start the train of forgiveness. In the second part of the book a lot of exciting and sudden stuff happens, and also a lot of happy moments. If you're afraid of a lot of sadness, don't be, most of the times I cried was because of the happy moments. In the first book I found the poetry quite strange but I thought the poems in this book were amazing and there weren't too many so I was able to appreciate them more. 
 Overall, whether you enjoyed Slammed or not I think you need to give this book a chance and pick it up. It is most definitely worth it. This romance will pull you along and crash your emotions up and down. If you want a romance that makes you feel way too much sometimes, you need to pick up this book. You need to!
