this book was so strange 

summary for myself:
leeds and layla meet and are a happy couple for a couple months until layla gets shot by sable (leeds crazy fanatic ex girlfriend). she survives and has a brain injury, so when she’s healed enough leeds wants to take her to the bed and breakfast where they met in hopes to rekindle their relationship since he doesn’t feel as in love w her anymore. at the bed and breakfast he meets willow and falls in love with her and out of love with layla. but plot twist, willow is actually layla, and sables soul had entered laylas body the day the shooting happened because leeds had shot sable and killed her. the two souls were in the room together and when layla got resuscitated, sables soul entered laylas body first leaving laylas soul in limbo. they came up with a plan to bring laylas soul back into her body by killing sables soul in laylas body, and it worked. happily ever after 

i had many thoughts throughout this book. i don’t know how to feel about leeds because although it’s meant to be romantic that he was in love with laylas soul and that’s why he fell out of love with the girl he thought was layla, the shit he did was a bit… unexcusable? like he didn’t know it wasn’t layla when he was cheating on her with a ghost possessing her body! he still abused her, gaslit her, and allowed her to feel like she was crazy just so he could have his own selfish pleasure with ‘willow’. so as much as the soulmatensss made my heart squish, remembering that he still had no clue it was her before and did those actions rubs me the wrong way. plus it’s still his girlfriends body, and he just left her tied up bleeding and exhausted. shits wild 

i did have a lot of fun while reading this though and it was a book i finished relatively quick this year. not a mind blowing read, or a book to take too seriously, but definitely fun for a selective audience.

i found it to be a little predictable at times, for example i assumed very early on that sable would be in the picture (but i thought she was willow, that’s where my assumption ended), and little things like the fact that leeds killed sable, and that he was going to physically cheat on layla with willow in her body. wasn’t too surprising as i read, more just waiting for when things would happen. but the major plot twist i honestly didn’t expect. also randall (richard) was a sweet addition, i liked the alternating timelines until they connected towards the end. it felt refreshing to read. also ): that he’s a spirit (why hasn’t he moved on)

overall, decent read, enjoyed it but isn’t AMAZING. concept was fun with problematic characters (leeds i do not like you)
