Love and Other Words, by Christina Lauren
slow-paced
3.5
This book was .. basically.. not that bad lol. The storyline for the most part was cute & whatnot.
But.. I just have this personal thing where it gives me the ick so fucking bad to read about underage teenagers having sex,talking about having sex,thinking about having sex.. it literally makes me want to crawl out of my skin & this book goes back & fourth between the mc as an adult & as a 13-17ish year old kid & in the flashbacks she was talking sm about it & it was sooo cringy. BUT ..🥴 besides that .. it was lovely lol..

I really did enjoy this book all in all but I def did get a little burned out on the constant bickering between the two mcs through the whole book but it all pulled together in the end & I liked it a lot <3

My second Jane Austen book & while it was good, it didn’t hit the way p & p did. But it Janes characters were funny and lovable of course so it was pretty good <3
