In fact, by August of 2012, Slammed hit #8 on the NY Times Best Selling List, with Point of Retreat not far behind at #18. Shortly after, Hoover published Point of Retreat, a sequel to Slammed. Several months later, a well-known book blogger (Maryse Black) gave Slammed a five-star review – which created a buzz that caused sales of Colleen Hoover’s first two novels to skyrocket. Colleen explains that her main objective was to get it published so her mom, who was the proud new owner of an Amazon Kindle, would be able to read the story digitally. Slammed was self-published at the beginning of 2012. She notes that a snippet of an Avett Brothers’ lyric – “Decide What to Be and Go Be It” – inspired her to write Slammed – even going as far as including parts of the lyrics within the story. Hoover began her professional career as a writer at the end of 2011, when she began writing Slammed,although she admits that she had no intention of trying to get the written work published.
