Book Review: Layla by, Colleen Hoover

Layla by, Colleen Hoover

Summary: Leeds and Layla meet at a wedding. They are in an instalove relationship and get married shortly thereafter. All is good in their relationship until Leeds’ psycho ex hookup girl went to his house and shot him and Layla. This book is about Layla after the accident and how Leeds tries to take Layla back to where they met to help her recover.

Thoughts: This book was weird. This book has elements of supernatural beings so take that for how you’d like. It was pretty decent and a quick read, but I don’t think I’d read this again.

Criticisms: This story was okay, but wasn’t the greatest to me because it involved supernatural beings, soul switching, etc. I’m not even sure what genre I’d put this book under. I don’t think it was romance, but I don’t think it was supernatural.. I can’t really describe how I feel about this book, but the best I could describe it as would probably be taking a sip of hot chocolate and not being satisfied because it’s Luke warm rather than hot..

Rating: 3.8/5

Book Review: the five people you meet in heaven by, Mitch Albom

The Five People You Meet in Heaven by, Mitch Albom

Summary: Eddie, an amusement park mechanic dies in an accident at the park. As soon as he dies, he is met by five people in his past life. Each of the five people are there to help Eddie understand his living life in a better way. He has a hard time understanding why some of the five people were chosen for him, but eventually understands and comes to terms with his life.

Thoughts: I chose to read this book because of the author. I enjoyed his other books so I wanted to give this one a try. This book is one that makes you think and reflect on your own life choices after you read it. A very quick read- you could probably finish it in a couple hours.

Criticisms: I don’t have many criticisms for this book. It was well written and each person Eddie encountered had their own role. I do have to say, some encounters were not as interesting as others.

Rating: 4/5
