Dnes som ju musela jednoducho dočítať, nemohla som ísť skôr spať. A po prečítaní musím povedať, že ma Colleen Hoover opäť nesklamala. I wanted Leeds to do some “behind the scenes” digging into Willow, as that would have added some substance to this intriguing tale. She’s the victim now, even though she’s unaware of it. The only thing Layla did wrong is fall in love with me. Not only that, but I couldn’t sympathize with any character whatsoever, especially Leeds. As the reader, we’re supposed to feel some positive emotion, yet I only found anger towards him. What started as a solid and mediocre relationship turned into lies, manipulation, and gaslighting. It all became a repetitive cycle of emotional playing. Not only that, but I found the story boring as a whole. Even the plot twists were something I shrugged off and read through as if they didn't mean anything (because, really, they didn't).

Potom príde veľa napätia, ťažkého rozhodovania hlavných hrdinov, miestami ma chytala zlosť na Leedsa (no dobre, naňho som sa príšerne dlho hnevala), potom na Laylu, a aj som sa pri niektorých momentoch cítila naozaj divne, dokonca som sa trochu bála. I think about the idiots in scary movies that never run when they should, but I empathize with them now. The need to disprove the thing th I couldn't take the plot seriously so I never really felt interested or invested it what was happening. Colleen Hoover é uma das autoras que eu mais gosto de ler, apesar de estar mais acostumada com os livros de romance que ela normalmente escreve. And the final thing is the beginning of the book was too fast. It’s always a good thing to go straight to the point when you write a thriller. The fast pacing spins your mind and you are too hooked to learn what’s gonna happen next.This is only my second CoHo book but I sure do see why so many readers adore her. There is just something about her easy breezy style of writing that hooks you right away. Not to mention I just love her humor. She is one author that I would love to chill with and have a couple drinks. She just seems like my kind of gal. The best part? She has so many more books for me to discover and that makes my heart happy. Typically in a normal romance, it’s the other way around—y’know, when you’d lower the rating because something you didn’t like happen somewhere in the last 1/3 of the book. This is not your avarage romance. It’s . . . peculiar. There are creepy elements, but it’s not scary. It’s compelling and emotional, which basically sums up anything CoHo writes.

There was only one woman who could set me free. But I would rather set myself on fire than ask Sloane Walton for anything. Relationship is tested beyond limits, senses are questioned but heart FEELS the Impalpable truth. The lines between morality and cheating get blurred, but do they really?Whenever I see Colleen Hoover put out a book that crosses genres, I'm always salivating to get my hands on it. But it's not long into Layla before it becomes apparent that this story would be bogged down by a problematic narrative, and nothing can save it. Colleen Hoover always writes the best twists and this one threw me for a loop. Honestly, there was a time where I wasn't sure if I was liking it or the characters, but then BAM. It got me. It gave me just the right amount of feels and the ending, though I wish it gave me a bit more, was still satisfying. I had an assumption as to what was going on. For a time, I thought I had it right because the characters thought so too. But then the plot twist . . . BAM! And I was . . . relieved. When I thought about it, the twist was pretty self exlpanatory. I couldn’t catch on to it because I was too busy fretting and seething that Leeds was practically cheating on Layla with Willow. International and #1 New York Times bestselling author of romance, YA, thriller, women's fiction and paranormal romance. Neither of us speaks for a moment after she says that. It’s tough, because we both know this is wrong, but I think we’re both hoping the other one doesn’t put a stop to it. We obviously enjoy each other’s company or we wouldn’t be doing this night after night.
