Layla

3.5 Stars
“Perhaps what we desire can sometimes be so strong it overpowers our fate.”
Leeds is a musician and song writer stuck playing in a band that is slowly killing the muse inside him. It’s yet another wedding they are performing, and Leeds is beginning to wish he was anywhere else but playing the same songs in front of drunken guests. Until he sees the girl dancing like no one is watching and most certainly not to the beat of their music. This girl…this beautiful girl with a passion for life…catches his eye…his heart…and suddenly his world is turned upside down…
Leeds and Layla embark on a whirlwind affair neither wishes to end at the end of the night. So, what started out as a one-night stand turns into Layla moving in with Leeds where they become inseparable…until tragedy strikes these lovers down…
Can true love pass from one life to the next? Do our souls recognize their other half? How far are you willing to go to save the one you love? Or to be with the one you love? These are questions Leeds and Layla will face as they work towards overcoming a tragic event in their lives…one that will cause them to question everything they believe in…
Colleen Hoover’s LAYLA is a difficult romance to review in that if a spoiler is revealed, the mystery behind the romance is potentially ruined for the reader. So, I will leave it to you, Dear Reader, to suspend what you believe is reality, and keep an open mind to the “what if’s” of finding your soul mate. LAYLA is an interesting story with a bizarre love triangle I’d recommend to fans of this genre.
Sharing what I love,
Veronica
