Layla by Colleen Hoover
5.0

Yes, Colleen! Please write more thrillers like this and Verity! Read this as a buddy read and I had every intention of sticking to the pages per day. I failed miserably as did most of the others in the group. But seriously...this book is weird, confusing and totally far-fetched but if you've read my own book My Dark Self you'll know that far-fetched plots are my favourite!

Good Points: Not what I was expecting at all but in a totally good way. The writing was amazing. Really sucked you in and the back and forth from past to present fed you snippets of extra info just at the right time. I couldn't put it down. I skipped a Saturday walk with my family to finish this book!

Not so Good Points: The only minor issue I had was I felt the ending was a little too nicely wrapped up for a thriller.

Definitely a book to rival my all time favourite, Verity!
