Wow they really had me in the first half I’m not going to lie. This books made me feel every emotion under the sun, and the ending left me stunned! One of Colleen Hoovers best works! Leeds is a terrible boyfriend, however, and really made me angry. I wanted to throw this book a few times and I don’t say that lightly.

Layla was an interesting book. My first CoHo read and it was a bit of a romance/thriller... Maybe? It was easy to read but slow and while I think the concept was good, the execution wasn't that great.
