Lake Cohen’s mother has been dead about four months, and Lake and her boyfriend Will are living across the street from each other raising their younger brothers. Point of Retreat begins about a year after Slammed ends, and a few days after the epilogue at the end of that book. I love the unusual family unit that is built in this story. It gives the sense of responsibility and maturity. ![]() This story is about realising and holding on to love and about how love can be found in the most unlikely of places. He truly is something else, I found Lake incredibly annoying and persistent in this one, as did Will on occasion but how it all wrapped up and tied together in the end was lovely and magnificent.

I love the love that Will and Lake shared for each other and for their brothers. It really felt like Point of Retreat tied up some loose ends from Slammed that weren’t necessarily left dangling but it was nice to have them neatly wrapped up nonetheless. Point of Retreat, 2nd book from the Slammed Trilogy, is from Will’s point of view. All you can do is suck it up and start mapping out a new plan.” ![]() “Sometimes things happen in life that you didn’t plan for. ![]()
