Phoenix…. I just wanted him to get it together, but Lennon learned so much which encouraged him to learn so much. Ironically, the book is called The Words but I never can really find the words to capture the book. It’s sooooo good and gut-wrenching at times, it will really take you through the wringer

Absolutely trash MMC. I wanted to throat punch him the entire time. I only got to 37%. The beginning had so much potential. Lennon? Pfft don't get me started. Plus size representation my tookus. She's also spineless. This book had so much SA in it but was covered up. No. No thank you. DNF for sure.

This book was way to long, it started to get repetitive. I liked the beginning of this even though it was hard to read with the fat phobia and bullying. Also I didn’t really see the relationship between the main characters honestly. Then we did a time jump and of course she has a weight loss plot. I did kind of like the second half, but she hardly tired to get back at him. I like the jealousy though. The plot line with the dad and sister were good. I also liked the side characters. I don’t know this was fine, but it was simply to long and phoenix got off and forgiven to easily.

The early timeline I was into, I was invested. And then it all imploded with the second timeline. I’ve never been so eager to see characters earn their redemption only to never do anything to actually earn it. The MMC is the most infuriatingly selfish character I’ve read in a long time.

His wife’s dad dies and his first thought is…he’s upset she isn’t putting out while she’s GRIEVING?!?!? Literally never had more ick

that and the FMC is a complete doormat. At the beginning you think she gained confidence and is control after 4 years but noooooo she literally goes BACKWARDS. I kept listening because the narrators were fab though. But wow there was so much possibility here and completely squandered by the worst main characters.
