I have almost no thoughts about this book. It was a good book, it wasn't great but it was still fine. Reading Collen Hoover's books has imprinted in m mind that there is always a big plot twist and this one had some but it wasn't a huge one, not according to me. The book had an interesting plot and the further you got into the book the more it kind of unraveled and it happened faster and faster. It did have me question Leeds sometime, he had some weird thoughts and it was disturbing at some times. 

The book didn't meet the CoHo other books like verity and hopeless but I did go into the book blind and I think that helps me get a clear picture of what I thought of the book.

Pretty fun read! Took me a bit to get into it but once I did and the plot really started moving, it kept my interest. I guessed THE Plot Twist™ a bit before it was revealed but that didn't make it any less enjoyable for me, just made me want to hurry up and see if I was right lol.

This book isn’t what I expected it to be. I hated Leeds so much at first, well not at first, after like 100 pages and I wanted to kick him in the ass and spit in his face. I was like what the hell is this?? It was really good though. I loved the plot twist, duh, it’s Colleen Hoover. This isn’t my favorite book of hers, but it is still very good, different, but good. Colleen’s mind is just so fantastic, I don’t know how she comes up with this stuff. Overall, I think it was amazing, the ending, the plot was good too, I liked the past to present chapters and Layla was amazing too, well all things considered…
