A review by sbojo32
More Than Words by Jill Santopolo
4.0
I know this book got mixed reviews and many are comparing it to her other book (The Light We Lost). I loved The Light We Lost and I really enjoyed this one as well. They are two different books, and the reader should know that going in. They are not related in any way, and I feel that Santopolo wrote with more emotion in More Than Words.
This book dealt with the loss of a parent, which was beautifully written and described. The way Nina dealt with that was so real. The passages about how she longed for someone to stand with her in the darkness rather than cheer her up resonated with me.
The love triangle was secondary. Sure, it was there, and sure, it was easy to root for one of the guys over the other, but how the rest fell into place was what really made this book for me.
