Layla by Colleen Hoover

Amy   


fantasy

Right from the start, Layla grabbed my attention.  Something crazy was obviously going on with the characters, Leeds and Layla, but the reader was not yet privy to the exact situation.  Layla was going ballistic and Leeds had her tied up and her mouth duct taped. Yet, based on the conversation he was having with a mysterious interviewer, this was something Leeds was doing for Layla’s own good.  The scene was very intriguing.

But the more I read and learned about them, the more I dreaded reading this novel. I found myself only reading one or two chapters every night before bed and then deciding that was all I could take. It was an interesting story but it was also infuriating. Leeds was the narrator and what he’d been doing was terrible. Just because he started out with good intentions didn’t seem to justify his actions. And then, near the end, it completely changed and got very creative. 

This novel was unusual and a bit bizarre. I give Colleen Hoover creativity points.
