I really really like Colleen Hoover’s books and usually there is not much to say, but with this one I am still not sure what to think.

I like the style of writing, that is or sure, but I really do not know what my thoughts about the plot are. I really liked the beginng when Layla and Leeds met and fell in love, but after the incident that changed their lifes it just did not feel right. Them. They did not feel right anymore. in a way at least. I did not like Layla’s transition, she went from such a likable and funny woman to a woman with tons of mental problems. And still I was on her side until almost the end of the book. I hated how Leeds claimed to love her while letting her suffer for his own best.

The ending changed a lot, but I still did not like the violence, there robably would have been another way.

So there were some elements that left me with discomfort whie reading, but I also liked the book in a way.

I think this might be the first book that I can not decide on a star rating for. Maybe in a couple of weeks or months when it has been a while since i read the book, I’ll be able to rate it, but right now I can’t (And I’ve been thinking about this for almost a week now).
