Though they’ve been together for over a year, they haven’t slept together that in itself stretched my credulity. Lake and Will make out and express a desire to be together, but the love scenes feel oddly G rated there’s no real heat expressed. The way sex is handled in PoR felt a bit strange to me (this was true of Slammed, as well). The major relationship-related plot point of the first third of the book is Will and Lake’s decision to finally have sex. Neither of these subplots seem to have much relevance to anything else in the book. Lake has started college and Will is pursuing a graduate degree in education.Įarly on, the novel has a strangely episodic feel, dealing with the couple’s bout of food poisoning and their struggles to discipline their brothers, who are getting in trouble in school. Lake Cohen’s mother has been dead about four months, and Lake and her boyfriend Will are living across the street from each other, each raising their younger brother. Point of Retreat begins about a year after the bulk of Slammed ends, and a few days after the epilogue at the end of that book. Warning: there are spoilers for Slammed in the review ahead. I was interested enough in the lives of the characters at that point to want to see how things played out.
