About this listen
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.

Story
Samson and Beyah have nothing in common on the surface. She comes from a life of poverty and neglect; he comes from a family of wealth and privilege. But one thing they do have in common is that they're both drawn to sad things. Which means they're drawn to each other. Beyah and Samson agree to stay in the shallow end of a summer fling. What Beyah doesn't realize is that a rip current is coming, and it's about to drag her heart out to sea.

INCREDIBLE!!!!!
i think this is the only book that made me feel nervous, smile, in love and scared all at the same time.. I want to experience all the feelings that's why I bought the audiobook, paperback and the kindle version, and while listening ti the audiobook I was reading it too, to add intensity.. I thought Verity was crazy and then I read and listened to Layla!

Different than what I am used, but loved it!!
I usually always read/listen to mystery, twists, suspense.. but this book was a good change! I LOVED Verity, so I thought I would give Layla a try. The narrator did a great job, really went well with the character and his voice is rather sexy LOL. I was really into the story from the beginning because who doesn't love a cute love story, or wish they could have something like it. I found myself talking back to the book when there were moments I didn't agree with lol. Overall, good listen and good book!

It was OK.
I’m surprised that this book was written by a woman. Throughout the book it felt like Leila and Willow’s thoughts and actions were coming from a man’s POV. Also, and this is a silly detail, the narrator exhaled through his nose at the end of most sentences as if he had the remains of a bad sinus infection or is a heavy smoker which was a little distracting at times. It’s the little things…

Romance story for men.
Being Male I like romance stories where the protagonist is Male. This story fits the bill plus it is not your typical murder mystery.

Struggled through this…
The storyline wasn’t bad. The sex scenes were steamy. The narrator’s “female” voice was almost unbearable hahaha I could not take it seriously. Some parts had me literally groaning or rolling my eyes but nonetheless, I kept coming back and finished it in good time! Might be more enjoyable to read it yourself vs listening to the audiobook.

Not my style
I found the story to be a little too far-fetched for my abilities or my preferences I should say. It took too long to get to plot where it ends up. The two bodies are two souls had switched by that point when it happened. I was already turning my nose up at the storyline.
