Very very tense. The book really starts to come together near the end, so don’t give up when things are kinda boring in the beginning! Worth it! I loved this!

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.

I enjoyed the two timelines from the interview to the main storyline. I liked that the story was told from the male main character’s perspective. This book would make for a good October read 👻

I did not enjoy the middle of the book when we believed Leeds was cheating on Layla. However I think having a problem in the book that the reader does not like is what makes the book good. Glad everything was resolved in the end. I also didn’t believe Layla was going to survive at the end. Colleen Hoover had me hooked until the very end.
