Holy shit.

I genuinely thought Leeds was going to leave Layla for Willow. A ghost. I hated him. How could you leave your girlfriend for a ghost??? But upon learning about the switched souls, everything made sense.

Colleen Hoover, you know just how to make me hate characters. But you also know exactly how to win them back.

The last two chapters made me want to bawl my eyes out.

Colleen writes some of the best plot twists ever.
