In Other Words, Love by Shirley Jump
4.0
In Other Words, Love by Shirley Jump is such a sweet romance - both in terms of genre and just in general. The second-chance romance is everything you could ever want. Kate is terrified to let herself fall for Trent again. And Trent is just terrified in general.
While Kate and Trent didn't have a massive, horrible, awful breakup, it did leave Kate devastated. I'm not entirely sure how it left Trent. Possibly regretful? I wish I could have gotten a little more into his head about that.
But now they need each other. Kate needs the paycheck from ghostwriting his book. And Trent needs her to ghostwrite the book or his company could be in trouble. So they agree to keep it professional - but we all know how that turns out.
Their path back to each other was scenic and beautiful. Their connection was evident on every page. Both characters had to grow and change. Life threw them both several curveballs, and it only made them seem more real. Sometimes they rolled with the punches, and sometimes they needed some help to get there.
The side characters really stood out in this one. The snarky and unsupportive friend from college. The families that only wanted what was best for both of them. Especially Kate's grandma - she was amazing.
There was more than just a romance here. There was a finding of themselves. A reconnection to their dreams and who they really are. A very well-developed and captivating story.
