I’m in love with this book. My first read by Christina Lauren was The UnHoneymooners (which I loved), so I was excited to read Love & Other Words. This book did not disappoint. And no point while reading was I bored, uninterested, or unwilling to go on. I absolutely loved this book. The back and forth between then and now provided the love story I needed and wanted while also providing the slow burn (or re-burn, I suppose) of Macy and Elliot. The title is very clever, which readers will find out. Be prepared for a major shock towards the end of this book, as I was completely unprepared for Macy’s “side” of the story. Loved this book!
