Slammed (Slammed, #1)

by Colleen Hoover

“You know, you can tell a lot about a person by their taste in music.” He pulls the CD out and examines the label. “ ‘Layken’s shit?’ ” he says aloud and laughs. “Is shit descriptive here, or possessive?”

“Absolutely. Regret is counterproductive. It’s looking back on a past that you can’t change. Questioning things as they occur can prevent regret in the future.

I like this!

People make spontaneous decisions based on their hearts all the time. There’s so much more to relationships than just love.”

So people tell me…

“Does he treat you with respect at all times? That’s the first question. The second question is, if he is the exact same person twenty years from now that he is today, would you still want to marry him? And finally, does he inspire you to want to be a better person? You find someone you can answer yes about to all three, then you’ve found a good man.”

Definitely not about me. :(

Is he for real? A hot guy who makes me laugh and loves poetry? Someone pinch me. Or not—I’d rather not wake up.

Definitely talking about me 😂

I can’t possibly comprehend at this moment what it must be like to actually have a broken heart. If it hurts even one percent more than the pain I’m feeling now, I’ll forgo love. It’s not worth it.

God damn right

I’VE NEVER HAD SEX. I came really close once but chickened out at the last minute.

What if some girl broke your heart, Javi, and you decided to vent with a pen and paper? That’s your business.”

You’ve been doing so much thinking with your head that you’re ignoring your heart completely. There has to be a balance. The fact that both of you are letting other things consume you is about to ruin any chance you’ll ever have at being happy.”
