After reading Verity last January, I awaited another thriller by Colleen Hoover that I could sink my teeth into. My prayers were answered in the form of Layla. I was so thrilled that I was approved to read an early copy of this through Netgalley and I devoured it within two days. 

I was unsure of where this novel was going at first and I grew so irritated with all the characters and the entire plot, until the climax hit and I understood what journey Hoover was taking us on. It was intense and beautiful.
