Love and Other Words in Freaks Between the Book Sheets Romance Recs

This was my third Christina Lauren, and I felt like it was the best written of the three - right from the beginning, the writing just felt stronger. This one's told in dualing perspectives, the past and the present, from the main character (Macy)'s point of view. Macy has an intense job (critical-care pediatrics resident) which I totally loved. (Honestly, I'd liked to have heard a bit more about her job/work life!)

I fell even more in love with Christina Lauren’s writing after reading Love and Other Words. They made me want to have an Elliot in my life. I feel like I missed out in high school and college by not having a best friend like Elliot.

This book was a fast, sweet read. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a little comedy, a little romance and a lot of heart.

Christina Lauren does not disappoint! They are masters! I loved this book! It made me think what I could forgive and how one choice can forever change your life. I loved Elliot, he is so patient and knows what he wants. My heart broke for Macy, especially at the end. I love how they always ask each other their favorite word and how they had their own little space in her closet.

Love and Other Words was a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me. ⁣

There was just something about Macy and Elliot that had me rooting so hard for them. And when I’m emotionally invested in characters, it’s highly likely the book is going to make me cry. I was very emotional reading Love and Other Words. There’s something about missed connections or almost missing out on love that just gets to me. Add in the wonderful writing from Christina Lauren and suddenly I’m an emotional mess. I’ve cried during at leas ...more
