A Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover comes a novel that explores life after tragedy and the enduring spirit of love.
When Leeds meets Layla, he’s convinced he’ll spend the rest of his life with her - until an unexpected attack leaves Layla fighting for her life. After weeks in the hospital, Layla recovers physically, but the emotional and mental scarring has altered the woman Leeds fell in love with. In order to put their relationship back on track, Leeds whisks Layla away to the bed-and-breakfast where they first met. Once they arrive, Layla’s behavior takes a bizarre turn. And that’s just one of many inexplicable occurrences.
Feeling distant from Layla, Leeds soon finds solace in Willow - another guest of the B&B with whom he forms a connection through their shared concerns. As his curiosity for Willow grows, his decision to help her find answers puts him in direct conflict with Layla’s well-being. Leeds soon realizes he has to make a choice because he can’t help both of them. But if he makes the wrong choice, it could be detrimental for all of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars very unique book

4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed Layla!
I must say that I’ve really enjoyed this book! The story pulled me in right away and it held and kept my attention. I couldn’t put the book down because I wanted to know
more and to see how the story would end. I loved the dialogue between the characters and the writing. I liked how the story lets you know that you can find life after a tragedy and how love endures beyond this physical world. There are something’s about the story that would make you laugh and question the characters in a way lol.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good story
Colleen's writing style amazes me, how she brings the characters to life from the first page, draws me in, making me feel very invested in what happens to the characters. I am compelled to keep reading and yet I never want them to end.
While this was very good, it was a little strange and might not be for everyone. I don't want to reveal any spoilers, so I don't want to go into anymore detail than this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant surprise!!
The only reason I gravitated towards this book was because it was labeled as a romantic suspense and paranormal romance. That sounded a little more intriguing to me. So I figured I’d give it a go and I’m glad I did because I loved this book.
I honestly wish that she would dabble more into the genre of paranormal romance or thrillers, because this was done very well. It was a very engaging book, and I think that she could appeal to a whole separate group of readers if she would lean more in this direction from time to time.
There are only two other books from her that I would consider reading, which are Verity, and Too Late. And again, it’s because they are the only other books by her that I could find that were labeled as psychological thrillers or suspense.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this book. It had me hooked from the beginning to the end, and I read it while tandem listening to the audio, and the audio was done great as well.
I highly recommend this book. Especially for people who consider most of Colleen Hoover’s stuff to be to fluffy, boring, and mild.
Well done! ????????
