this book was not what i was expecting, as the only other colleen hoover book i have read is "it ends with us" and these are two completely different works. "layla", although a book i may not have necessarily picked out for myself, is still something i am glad to have read. the topics handled within the book, mainly the discussion on the existence of supernatural beings, lead to me questioning my own views and looking at my own surroundings in a slightly new light. the novel had me falling in and out of love continuously with the main characters over the course of the novel and left me feeling emotionally drained, but in a good way.
would i recommend this book? in short yes but beware what you are getting yourself into and make sure to read the content warnings.
