Small Spoilers are in this review

about half way through this book I wanted to DNF as I was not comfortable reading about the emotional and later physical abuse within the story. Curiosity though compelled me to keep reading. 
By the time I got to ending I wanted a happy ending for Layla but I disliked Leeds so much that it ruined the story

Overall I liked the concept but I couldn't rate it higher than 3⭐️
