Love & Other Words by Christina Lauren is an excellent dual-timeline book that had me almost crying my eyes out at the end. I don’t cry, but I was close on this one. Such a sweet romance can cause you to believe in timeless love.

This was slightly a hard read due to my personal experiences of loss and grief. But this was written well in my opinion that it wasn’t triggering to read.

I was also apprehensive about reading this because I didn’t like Say That You Still Love Me by KA

5 stars ⭐️ This is most definitely one of my fav romances I read this year. The ending not only left me in tears but the entire story was just so beautiful. I definitely was a bit huh about a few things towards the ending but it was still too good to not get 5 stars !!

I'm sad it took me as long as it did to finally sit down and read this....

It was BEAUTIFUL. I absolutely loved this book. Honestly, I pictured young Elliot as a baby Spencer Reid and adult Elliot as Sam Winchester???? Please tell me if you did also!!!

This was a second chance romance, childhood friends to strangers to lovers and it was BEAUTIFULLY written.

I loved the back and forth between past and present to learn about how they met, how they grew and bonded together and how they re-bonded and
