Book: Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren
Reviewed by Book Holds and Jello Molds
Rating: 5/5
Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren blew me away. I went into it expecting the usual fun, light romantic comedy, but instead found something much deeper. Macy is a pediatric resident, recently returned to San Francisco where she grew up. She's in a decent relationship and is glad to live near her college roommate. Things change when she unexpectedly runs into Elliott, her childhood friend/boyfriend/best friend, who she hasn't seen in eleven years. Told in alternating time lines, this story kept me up all night, unable to stop reading. It surprised me, which doesn't happen that often. This is one I highly recommend!
