I did not go into this book with high expectations due to reviews.... I have one question for those of you who did not like it .... WERE WE READING THE SAME BOOK ???
I could not put this book down, and when I was not reading this book all I could think about was this book.
I am not one for reading paranormal fiction however Colleen Hoover has this power to write any genre she wants,  yet make people want more even if it is not there type of novel !!!
I think this has to be my second favourite Colleen Hoover book (personal opinon).
Exploring the power of the human connection and both the negative and positive aspects it has in correlation with the concepts of the after life, healing, and true love.
" A connection so strong it brought me back here to her when I didn't know I was searching for her. A connection that kept me here." pge 266. "My internal compass pulling me in the opposite direction even when I'm struggling with this decision' 
Leeds... I ached for him: the grief not just for what he had lost, but what he could not find... himself...  ' having to inch away from the person I was so that I could be the person she needs', But then page 198.... made me throw the book across the room in disappointment and shock... i HATE MEN !! LITERALLY ME CRYING...
But then 246... Colleen Hoover......
Also not to mention 211... i mean WTF !!!!
Honestly recommend this book 100%. 
If you love a good mystery thriller this is for you!! 
If you loved "Verity" This is for you (personally i think Layla was better....).
Trust me it keeps you on your toes.... expected the unexpected... the blurb may fool you...
