This book is another CoHo book all in its own category. I’m still not totally sure what I just read. Definitely the strangest book I’ve ever read. Some of my thoughts as I was reading went like this…

wtf
Do I want to continue reading this? 
This is the strangest book I’ve ever read. 
Layla needs an exorcism. 
I’ve never giggled at a book labeled as a thriller. 
I think this will be a 2 or 3 star read. 
*sort of guessed the twist shortly after last thought*
Is this book almost over? 
*reads a few reviews on good reads*
*cannot process my thoughts* 
HA! I knew it. 
oh, wait. I was SO CLOSE! 
Pg.255…it could end here and I would be satisfied 
Well that got really fast paced all of a sudden
Definitely didn’t think it would end like that. 

So, I guess if you want a book to confuse you and make you have many reactions, read this? 

P.S. I still don’t know how to feel.
