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⭐️
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Eating disorder, Emotional abuse, Kidnapping
Minor: Gun violence
The book didn't meet the CoHo other books like verity and hopeless but I did go into the book blind and I think that helps me get a clear picture of what I thought of the book.

The story starts in current time with Leeds conversing with another man who's there to help him find answers as Leeds recounts the past months while his girlfriend Layla is held hostage upstairs.
Leeds struck me as someone who got obsessive quickly because Layla wasn't "like the other girls" and he needed something exciting in his life, so it didn't surprise me how he started to act after Layla was shot and Willow the ghost gave him those feelings again.
The entire time I kept thinking, Layla is the only true victim here, and the plot twist had me shook. Does it excuse all the abuse, torture, gaslighting, and other fucked up shit that was done? No, but it really puts the entire story in a new perspective. I've hated every CoHo book thus far, so I had low expectations for this, but this would be a book I'd read again now that I know the outcome.
