Layla

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.

What Bookclubbers are saying about this book
✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *Layla* by Colleen Hoover is a quick, entertaining blend of psychological thriller and paranormal romance with a spooky edge. Many praise ...
I liked this book and it was mysterious, I think I was just expecting more from it. In my opinion, I wanted more creepiness and less romance. For me (possible light spoiler) the ending was just too sweet.
I like that aspect from her contemporary romances, not for me with this book, it was just too jarring.
Reflection:
What I wanted: a twisty supernatural love story with emotional weight.
What I got: a premise that started strong but ultimately felt uncomfortable and misaligned with my reading tastes.
