The characters feel developed and had distinct personalities and agency. Really touching relationships at the center and with side characters. A little annoyed with the ending twist but overall a good read. Loved the honest and upfront nature of the characters discussing their emotions and thoughts. Would definitely read again.

Loved this book!! Kind of reminded me of the people we meet on vacation by emily henry in the aspect of soulmates and lacking communication being a big deal, which is frustrating to read about but I understood the lack of communication in this story so much more! I also just finished The Unhoneymooners (also by Christina Lauren) and Love and Other Words is SO much better!!! It’s got wonderful characters and a great hook with a wonderful ending as well. The middle was kind of slow though so it was hard to get through but worth it. VERY sad! Lots of trigger warnings. Cute story/book though.

Wow, where to even begin. I knew that the tone of the book wouldn’t be as lighthearted given that the story starts out with the loss of Macy’s mom, but boy did I not expect for my feels to be hit this hard. I did cry, let’s just say that. Elliot and Macy falling in love was depicted so lovingly and with care that you feel as if you’re watching your next door neighbour’s kids fall in love from your bedroom window.

The pain of their separation and the reasons for it were so raw and completely plausible that I tear up a little just thinking on it. Just wow, the domino effect of one decision, of one mistake could cause grave consequences. I do wish we see more of Ell and Mace’s life together in the end.

Oh yeah, Elliot has definitely been added to my list of ideal type. The straightforward but gentle type.

Just some timeline for myself:

I finished this book at 1:11am (PST) and read more than 80% of it on a 24hr road trip. I read the last 30% on May 31st through out the whole day and only finishing it now as I am writing this. This is mostly so that I can pin point the exact time I am feeling this way after finishing this book.

“I haven't been living without him. I've been merely surviving.”

Second chance love stories are one of my favorite tropes. This story had it in aces. Not only did Macy and Elliot get that second chance, but their love story also survived so many obstacles. I found this to be a very fast read, one that was emotional and kept me craving the next page. Alternating timelines were easy to follow, and the authors really kept you wondering if these two would be able to heal their hearts in time to make it work together. I might not always get a Christina Lauren book read in a timely fashion, but I will always read them.

“His kiss is an aching prayer; devotion pours from him.”
