Layla by Colleen Hoover Summary
Lala by Colin Hower. Leeds and Laila meet at Laila's sister's wedding party, and they talk to each other. They liked each other, and after that, they hooked up. Laila starts finding Leeds attractive, and Leeds was also attracted to Laila because he gets very attracted to Laila's carefree nature, open-minded and confident personality.
They started living together, and events happened. One day, Leeds posts a photo of Laila and himself on social media, and that post is seen by Leeds' ex-girlfriend, Sable.
She was actually mentally unstable, and she used to text Laila and do many other things. When Leeds comes to know about all this, he gets very scared that Sable might do something to Laila — and his fears come true. One day, Sable comes to Leeds' house and shoots Laila in the head. Leeds also goes there and shoots Sable, and Sable dies there. Leeds takes Laila to the hospital. Laila survives, but she gets some head injury.
Because of this injury, she had forgotten many things and she was not the same confident, open-minded girl as before. She had started to live in a scared state after her surgery. An event takes place between them, i.e. Leeds and Laila. To bridge that gap, Leeds takes her to a bed and breakfast — the same place where Leeds used to live. Laila and he had met for the first time at Laila's sister's wedding party, and they had a lot of memories attached to that place. But actually, when Leeds enquires about it, he finds out that the place is now closed.
Still, Leeds talks to the owners, and they lease the place for both of them for a few weeks. Then they take Laila there and start living there. As soon as they go there, Laila's behaviour becomes strange.
But Leeds doesn't give it much priority because,se due to Laila's head injury, sometimes she gets blackouts and mood swings — something happens one moment and the next moment she forgets it. This happens many times, so Leeds doesn't give it much importance.
That night, Leeds was going to cook something for Laila. Everything was getting cooked in the kitchen. He goes upstairs to check on Laila and then hears some noise from downstairs. When he comes down, he sees that the food is all spread across the whole kitchen, his kitchen rag is burnt, and the gas is automatically switched off.
Leeds is very scared, and Laila is also very scared. To console her, Leeds takes the blame on himself, saying it was because of him that all this happened. Then they eat, food, and Laila behaves strangely there too, as if she hadn't eaten for a long time. She eats a lot of food at once. She was behaving very strangely.
Then the next day, Leeds was writing some lyrics at night because he was a songwriter, a bassist. He was writing some lyrics sitting in the hall at night, and then something strange happened there too. His laptop automatically shuts down, and he throws it from his hand and goes to his room and sleeps.
The next day, he inquires about all this when he sees a strange thing — someone had typed in his laptop: "I am sorry, my intention was not to scare you." So he thought maybe it was Laila. When he asks her whether she did all this or not, Laila says no. Leeds doesn’t believe her because she sometimes forgets whether she has done something or not.
All this kept going o,n and something strange used to happen all the time. So one day online, he posts about it on a paranormal forum. Many people suggested that he leave that house because it was not safe. But someone suggested that he talk to that spirit.
He tried at first but found it very stupid. Still, he tries. Nothing happens at first, but when he was going to his room to sleep, there was a piano there, and one key of that piano started playing automatically.
It was not connected — everything was checked. Whenever Leeds was asking something, even then, those keys of the piano started playing something or the other. So actually Leeds tells that spirit: this key for yes, this key for no, and this key for “I don’t know” — you can press these keys.
Then he asks her a lot of questions — whether she is dangerous or not, where she is, since when she is there, where she is from, how she died, and what she is.
The spirit answers all these things by playing a key. Finally, when Leeds asks her name, he hands over the laptop to her and she types: Willow. Her name was Willow. Leeds gets very curious about that spirit and wants to ask her a lot of questions, but how could he?
Then an idea comes to his mind, and he tells the spirit that she can go into Laila’s body so that they can talk. He was trying to capture Laila’s bod,— and Willow does the same.
They start spending a lot of time together, and Laila doesn’t know anything about all these things. They talk a lot about each other, become very close. Leeds actually starts giving priority to Willow more than Laila. Even though Laila’s body was getting exhausted, Leeds allowed Willow to do this — to capture her body so they could spend time together.
They do this. They eat together, watch movies,and go swimming. Laila was reading a book, Leeds was writing lyrics. At night, when Laila was asleep, they were doing all this by capturing her body. One day, while talking, Leeds comes to know something that makes him lose his mind.
Because when Willow was in Laila’s body, she could read every thought of Laila. She was telling Leeds everything that was in Laila's mind. Then she says something that only Leeds and his ex-girlfriend knew. Leedsrealisess that maybe that spirit is actually Sable.
He gets very angry. Leeds then captures the spirit and asks her to leave from there. But the spirit was not willing to leave. They had actually started getting intimate, and she was not willing to leave his body. She was convincing Leeds that even if he was a bad person in his past life, she had forgotten everything now. She has only and only feelings for Leeds.
Still, he asks her to leave from there. Leeds wanted to take Laila home from there. From the very first day, Leeds wanted to help that spirit so that if something happened to her, she could find some place to stay. But the spirit did not want this because she did not want to disappear. She had to stay there, and she started liking Leeds a lot.
When they were leaving from there, that spirit again captures Laila’s bod,y and she asks Leeds to help her. Leeds agrees and goes to the same online forum and asks for help. Someone agrees to help them. That man was also like a medium. He came, talked to them, and asked many questions. Then that man suggests to Leeds that Willow’s spirit was asking to capture Leeds’ body. So they agree.
When Willow goes into Leeds’ body and is asked many questions about Laila, that spirit addresses herself as Laila. Everyone gets shocked. But that man had understood — the soul of both had been swapped. That man tells them that when Sable died, Laila was also in the same condition. So the souls of both had been swapped, and when Laila’s body was revived, it was Sable’s soul in it. Laila’s spirit had gone out and was living there.
After hearing all this, they get very upset. They did not want to be separated. Laila went back to her body. Leeds also wanted to stay with her. So it becomes clear why he was so attracted to that spirit and all. Then Laila — the real spirit — suggests to Leeds that the soul in Laila’s body should be killed again, and then the real spirit of Laila will be revived in her body again.
They do the sam,e and their plan is successful. Then they start living together — and this story ends here.
Here comes the review
When I was reading this book, when I was in the middle of it, I was so, so very annoyed. Literally, I was so very furious because I was finding it very rubbish. How can someone fall in love so quickly whetheirur girlfriend is withemyou? Then how can someone fall in love with a spirit? That’s what happened to Leeds. He was sponsoring that spirit more than Laila, spending time with her, and the cheating was next level. He was living with someone else's spirit in his girlfriend’s body — in one body!
And then he was getting intimate with her, spending time with her — literally cheating! And this is way too much, like next-level cheating. At one p,oint, I felt I wono longer not be able to readore because I was feeling so bad for Laila. When this book ended, I was so, so very happy because I was like — wow, I finished it!
My whole point of view changed, because this was the main motive of the book — that Leeds actually loved Laila. When her soul left her body, there was a gap between them, and then he started loving that spirit again — because that spirit was Laila’s. He again started loving her — her soul.
This was the very, very best part of this book. I was very happy after reading this. And yes, this book is very unknown at first, but by the end, it’s really very good. It has a happy ending. I can guarantee that you cannot stop reading this book even for a second. Yes, this book is very engaging, very interesting, as well as very unknown. I’m so sorry — but yes — it is good. This book is really very good. And for me, the book is also really very good.
For a new generation, like a normal thing in this book, it’s really cute and very good. So yes, I love this book. I will recommend this book to all. And yes, there’s not much spice in this book.
