The Words by Ashley Jade

Definitely hooked me from the beginning with a plot that was different and interesting. A heavy girl with deep insecurities. A talented boy with an abusive past and a learning disability. How they come together and are torn apart. I’d say 75% of the story was so intriguing. The other 25% felt wordy- like there was just too much going on and it made the novel feel unnecessarily long. Although I love a good romance where characters have a lot of trauma to work thru, some of the toxic behavior that comes from Phoenix towards Lennon, seemed incredibly intense for her to continue to have feelings for him (even if they only seemed physical for a while). All that to say, it was an entertaining read with a HEA.
