4.0

I enjoyed the two timelines from the interview to the main storyline. I liked that the story was told from the male main character’s perspective. This book would make for a good October read 👻

Spoiler

I did not enjoy the middle of the book when we believed Leeds was cheating on Layla. However I think having a problem in the book that the reader does not like is what makes the book good. Glad everything was resolved in the end. I also didn’t believe Layla was going to survive at the end. Colleen Hoover had me hooked until the very end.
