From #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends With Us, Colleen Hoover's romantic, emotion-packed debut novel unforgettably captures all the magic and confusion of first love, as two young people forge an unlikely bond before discovering that fate has other plans for them.

Following the unexpected death of her father, eighteen-year-old Layken becomes the rock for both her mother and younger brother. She appears resilient and tenacious, but inside, she's losing hope. Then she meets her new neighbor Will, a handsome twenty-one-year-old whose mere presence leaves her flustered and whose passion for poetry slams thrills her.

Not long after a heart-stopping first date during which each recognizes something profound and familiar in the other, they are slammed to the core when a shocking discovery brings their new relationship to a sudden halt. Daily interactions become impossibly painful as they struggle to find a balance between the feelings that pull them together and the forces that tear them apart. Only through the poetry they share are they able to speak the truth that is in their hearts and imagine a future where love is cause for celebration, not regret.

科林·胡佛（Colleen Hoover）2012年1月自主发表首部小说《因为深爱，所以放手》（Slammed），2012年2月，又发表了续作《真爱没有尽头》（Point of Retreat）。这两本小说一上市便引起热议，亚马逊读者评论数迅速突破1000条。同年，两本书的电影版权已售出。

胡佛喜爱音乐和诗歌，尤其是美国民谣摇滚乐队艾未特兄弟（The Avett Brothers）。在《因为深爱，所以放手》中，她用他们的歌词作为每一个章节的引子。此外，书中主人公威尔等人出入诗喃会，诗歌是贯穿整个故事的重要线索，也是胡佛作品的特色之一。她将这些动人歌词和诗句穿插在故事里，替主人公们道出心声，情之所至，催人泪下。

胡佛迄今出版的每一本小说，都荣登《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜，是美国备受欢迎的情感类小说作家之一。
