Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren
4.75
emotional reflective medium-paced

This was cute and a bit of a tearjerker near the end. 

Macy and her father buy a cabin for weekends away from everything big city. There she meets Elliot who lives in the house next door full time. They are young teens when they meet and fast become best friends who love books and words and can tell each other things they don't tell anyone else.... Then something happens that makes Macy retreat for 11 years. 

They run into each other and instantly become connected again. But Macy is engaged to be married and there's the thing that happened they know they need to talk about. 

When the secrets came out, I was angry at the first thing and devastated at the second and utterly torn up about how each incident connects. Beautiful story of love and forgiveness.
