Ugh. I loved.. I loved reading this story.

Loved sooo much!. Definitely a swoon-worthy second chance romance, one of my favourite books of all time.

a great read. not too cliche or boring. i found it to be heart warming and sweet i honestly want to cry now that i’ve reached the end

Beautifully written. I couldn’t put this down and when I had to, I couldn’t wait to get back into the story. I loved this story even though there are sad parts, it’s a beautiful love story.

@thepinkpublications. This book made me fall in love with reading all over again. I was able to feel exacting what the characters felt at the time of their encounter and their gut wrenching journey to end up together even after being worlds apart definitely pulled on my heart strings.🥹💖

Good but…. This was a good book and I loved reading it. I really enjoyed the characters and getting to see their younger selves and how their love story came to be, and who they were as adults. Where this book falls off the rails for me is when the two main characters get together after much anticipation at his brother’s wedding. The male protagonist (Elliot) had this Jekyll and Hyde moment with the female protagonist (Macy) that was truly jarring and out of place. The reveal as to why Macy hadn’t spoke to Elliot was too heavy to leave towards the end which in my opinion didn’t allow the characters to absorb this shocking news and move forward in a healthy way. All in all it was a good read, but I think the author could have done better by these two characters.

This is a great read. Starts off slow but trust me, GIVE IT TIME! You’ll be glued.

One word: You. (Possible spoilers) Sit down because this is going to be a long one. (If you get what the review title means your a real one) First let me just say that I loved it, so many feels (Macy and Elliot were so perfect). Now on to the juicy stuff. Sean was a walking red flag. Don’t even get me STARTED on how he reminded me of Ryle (yeah THAT ryle from IEWU). The only slightly redeeming thing about him was how cute he was with Phoebe. The whole back story with Macy and Elliot was an emotional roller coaster 🎢. The feels were so extreme. Like they fr had me laughing, blushing, and crying within one chapter. Bro if that isn’t saying enough idk what will. Also the whole cheating-on-the-love-of-my-life-with-a-knockoff-and-then-her-dad-dying thing made me maddd 😡. How th did he think Emma was Macy 😭😭😭😭 and her dad ……😭😭😭😭😭. Not cool Christina, Lauren not cool. On the other hand I related so much to both of the main character with their love of words. I feel like that’s something anyone reading this book (or any for that matter) would say, but it’s so true. Finally I can’t forget to mention the ending. Ummm there was no reason for it to be so good. Like I’m soooo waiting for the sequel where they are getting married and Macy is pregnant jus sayin. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk 🙏🙏🙏👁👄👁

Loved this book!. I read this in one day! Loved the main characters and their love story. It made me laugh, cry and so happy!

Cheesy perfection. Love and Other words was an amazing romantic easy read. It is one of those feel good novels that is easy to read and makes you smile. Highly recommend!

Loved it 📚❤️👏. This sweet intelligent story of love and redemption is a real winner. Highly recommended.

Beautiful. I could not put it down! I had looked at it a few times before I picked it for my next read... so happy I read this amazing love story. The characters will make you laugh,cry and cringe with frustration. Then they take your breath away. The deep love Macy and Elliot develop for each other gave me chills ...I never wanted it to end.

TEARS. YES REDEMPTION ARC

Easy read!. This book had me entertained the whole way through but it took a little long to get to the climax in my opinion. Definitely recommend though!

Love and Other Words Review!!. I just want to say that this book was a joy to read! Macey’s and Elliot’s love story was charming and romantic! I loved them so much!!!❤️ -Kierra Brice❤️

Great story. A beautiful love story!

I love love!. This book did make me tear up at least one good time and any book that can illicit that much emotion from me should get 5 stars

Great read. Perfect love story for a vacation read or just a great book in general

Fell in love with reading again. I used to read all the time and even since life got busy, I put books aside. Now that I’m coming up on finishing college, I decided to try reading again. This book is completely worth it. Feeling like you are apart of the book is something I missed so much. This is a definite read!!! (I plan on buying the physical book too)

Drama. Nice story. Tragic and lovely. A lot of back and forth. Almost a little too much would be my only thing. It seemed the two main characters got annoying towards the middle but the ending was good and tied it altogether so I ended up liking them.

Favorite. This is my favorite book. I re-read it every year.

Devoured it. I finished this book in literally one night after searching high and low to find it in stores, only to find out it’s sold out everywhere in my city…and for good reason!! This book is SO good. The alternating timelines make it impossible to stop reading it, and it’s so well written that you don’t mind reading more. Ms. Lauren you have outdone yourself!

I want more!. Great book. I wanted it to continue!

Amazing Read!. Love the back and forth with past and present! Hooked from the start

No words. This book was amazing, it was heartwarming, beautifully written and detailed, I really loved the plot and everything about it, it had left me crying violently at points and smiling until my cheeks hurt. I was simply left speechless after I finished it (in one day because I couldn’t put it down) so so so good

Book Review!! 📚🤍. THIS BOOK!!!! 🤯 Where do I even begin? I honestly loved this book and how it was written so well! Personally I feel like this book was a slow burn, it reminded me of ‘It Ends With Us’ by colleen hoover in the way that it went back and forth between then and now sharing the love story of Macy and Elliot. I loved watching them grow from childhood friends to lovers and seeing how they fit into each others lives even after all the time had passed. I appreciated the fact that the author didn’t rush the ending or have too much time pass after they got back together 🥰

AMAZING!. I never read a book where I’m making sappy faces and just being drawn in more and more over just a love story. The way this book is written.. the choice of words just help you picture everything soo vividly! 10/10 forsure! Understanding how pain can bring two together is undeniable! I loved this book!

Still think about it today…. I’m a big fan of Christina Lauren books and this was my favorite so far. I read this book over 6 months ago and it’s still one I think about today. It was too good to put down and one I will definitely read again in the future.

Amazing.. This is the best Christina Lauren book. I have read a lot of them. This one is so so good. It’s beautifully written and so emotional.

Easy read. This book is an easy read. It’s a book you can read for awhile put down and pick up again later, without feeling the need to stay up all night to finish. The characters are genuine and redeeming and you root for them the whole time.

Sentimental , heartwarming story. What I love most about this book that the storyline is very heartwarming you can feel the little details between Macy and her father , and with Elliot , it’s a little bit of a different take on love stories and I really enjoyed it , can’t wait to read more novels from a Christina Lauren .

Wow…and wow… and wow. It’s currently 4 in the morning and i just finished this book in two days. Honestly it’s pretty good and i can tell I’ll read it again in a couple months. Spoiler —- Unpopular opinion: Elliot is kind of the worst tho………

Love love love. Couldn’t stop reading.. so so good must read!

Good news. Even know it won’t let me read it I read it before and it was a miracle how good and long it was and I love long story’s so I decided to write a good review and give it five stars

All the feels. This book broke my heart and put it back together. For anyone that had that all consuming first love, this book will bring up all those emotions in the best way. This will live in my favorites.

A comfort book. I absolutely love this book and finished it in a day I was so engrossed. Truly it is a book of longing and loving and unspoken words. Elliot is this wonderfully written by a woman man and I will now forever swoon for him. It made me laugh cry and really feel like I was living it out. Couldn’t recommend this book enough.

One of my favs! :). This is a great book! I loved every minute of it! I love reading the before and after of Macy and Elliot. I would definitely recommend this book to people.

Very Unexpected Twist. I cried! And the love between them is just so pure it’s insane🥰

Couldn’t put down. Another good one from this author! Wish the ending had been longer but all the emotions reading this.

Loved it. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a reunion romance

10/10. One of my favorite books i’ve ever read, one that made me cry & filled my heart at the same time! LOVING this author team!

Charismatic. You will not be able to put it down.

Love & Other Words. Another great story from one of my favorite authors!

Great Beach Read!. Finished this book on my honeymoon, this was a great easy read for someone who loves romantic stories. I felt it was missing something, the story over all was captivating enough but seemed too easy in the end. Overall, I couldn’t put it down at one point. Would recommend for a light read

sweet. very sweet!! it was a slow start though

Easy read, spicccyyy. The writing was good, although parts moved a bit too fast and could have used a bit more detail. The book goes from past to present from beginning to end, so if you don’t enjoy books that switch tense a lot beware. The characters have their own personalities and the storyline is easy to understand. There are a few x rated scenes, written very tastefully. I was impressed with how the author worded these parts of the book. The ending felt a bit rushed, which left me feeling a little unsatisfied after finishing it. It also talks a lot about death and grief. Overall it was a good read!

One of the best books i've ever read.. Usually I have a hard time reading books that aren't mainly focused on relationships and love. This book kept me hooked and as much as I was hoping more relationship would come in I think this book was genuinely perfect. The build up to learn about what the fallout was and the emotion that was in this book is overwhelming. My heart was thumping when everything was revealed and these characters were so relatable it felt as if I was in their shoes. Ontop of that they had a type of love and friendship that I feel everyone who is a hopeless romantic hopes to find one day. 10/10 perfect book.

Awesome story. All of her books are a great read! This one was hard to put down.

sobbing. this is genuinely one of the best books i’ve ever read. if you’re thinking about reading it, stop and just read it. trust me

Worth you time. Sweet love story with twists and turns.

Good read. The format of the book moving between the two timelines provided an interesting story and was easy to follow. I enjoyed Marcy and Elliot as a couple, just wish the ending was discussed a bit more. Seemed to be wrapped up quite quick and didn’t address the trauma she went through.

One of the best I’ve read.. Seriously such a beautiful love story. It’s depth had me laughing and crying, and totally invested in Macy & Elliot’s return to each other. ❤️

The best. the best book I’ve ever read, a literal page turner, the plot was well written out and the ending was the best I could’ve asked for. There was also an unexpected cry I had. 😭😭

Lovely. Between past and present you fall in love with them.

Easy Read. Nice easy read, read in two days

Amazing Read!. Love the back and forth with past and present! Hooked from the start

Love and Other Words. My second book to read by these two authors. A good read but Roomies is still IT for me. Talented and imaginative writers for sure.

Loved this book!. I read this in one day! Loved the main characters and their love story. It made me laugh, cry and so happy!

Would recommend. Great book

Don’t waste your money. I typically love all books from this author, but this is by far the worst book from them.

Loved it!!!. LOVED THIS BOOK!!

3rd book. This was my 3rd book from these authors... and I enjoyed this as much as the other two I’ve read. I’m a fan of past/present read. The pull of it. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and could not put my phone down.

Worth it. I loved this book, I cried so hard at the end, it has been a while since I read a book that had good romance and emotions like this.

Poignant but never cheesy. It’s hard to balance sincerity without tipping over into syrupy sweetness. This novel does both, in the youthful and grown up timelines. Highly recommend

Such a beautiful yet heart breaking story.. *subtle spoiler* I have to say, this book really took me by surprise. I did NOT expect most of the events that were revealed at the end of the story. The book is split alternating between the past and present, which gives an interesting twist to how the story plays out. I loved Macy and Elliots beginning and how it came about, but man the crazy twist that is revealed broke my heart. And then the author swooped in and picked up the pieces and glued them all back together. I do wish though, that there was a little more on their life afterwards. The writing was good, you could really feel the emotions between the characters. Character Development wasn’t as good as other books I have read, but it works for this sweet story. please read! You might cry, I did, multiple times.

Beautiful & sweet. I delayed reading this book, i always like savorying a clo book and if i read it right away...I’ll get sad it’s over to quick. Even so, it was over to quick!! The characters and, as always, the dialog are funny and real and perfect. I should warn you i did tear up and/or cry through 70% of the book. I think it’s a testament to the writers that i am easily invested in the characters and touched on a personal level by the story. For fans of the beautiful series there is bit of a player (Will) vibe to this love story. Enjoy!

Good, but anxiety-inducing. While this is a good story, it is not your typical Christine Lauren book. There is no light-hearted banter. I don’t think a book has ever ratcheted up my anxiety quite like this one.

💞 Beautiful. Love and Other Words is Christina Lauren’s next epic romance! I have read all of this duo’s books and have loved each and every one of them. I will say that this book has a different feel than the others. It’s not full of hotness but sexy. It’s definitely not paranormal. It’s just different. More. Eleven years. It’s had been eleven years since Macy had seen the boy that was once her everything. Now, he was standing in front of her, asking her to give him a chance. A chance to catch up. A chance to be friends. A chance to show her that he never forgot about her. Their weekends. Their summers. Their friendship. Their love. She never forgot any of it. She still thought about their time together but should couldn’t go there. She was engaged... After seeing Elliot, she feels raw. Her feelings were all over the place. He wasn’t just a boy anymore. He was a man. A man who didn’t hide his feelings. A man who she still loved. A man who could hurt her all over again. Then there was Sean, her fiancé. The first man she felt something for since Elliot. She has to question herself...is she truly happy with her life or is she comfortable? She thought she had the answers until he showed up. Elliot and Macy’s story will bring you back to where it all began. To their first moment. Their awkward teen years. Their fallout. It also will bring you to their present. Can two people who were once each other’s everything just be friends? Can they get over the past? What will happen when the truth all comes out? I loved this story. It’s adorable. It’s sexy. It’s sweet. It’s heartbreaking. It’s beautiful. Elliot is so freakin’ yummy!! He reads. He plays a sport close to my heart. Romantic. Intelligent. He doesn’t hide his feelings. He puts them out there. Macy is beautiful inside and out. Strong. Intelligent and is also a bookworm! I just love them together. Their story is what second chance romances are all about! P.S. I want her library! Also, I live in Santa Rosa so it was so fun to see the area in a book. Real places that my family visits. Quotes: “If there’s anyone I have to prepare for, it’s you.” “Favorite word?” “I made Elliot bring Imodium with us when we went to see the Backstreet Boys, because I was having tummy troubles.” “The embarrassing part of that,” he says, “is that I went to see Backstreet Boys.” “No,” I correct him, “the embarrassing part was that I caught you dancing.” He acknowledges this with a little flicker of his eyebrows. “I had moves.” I laugh. “Yes. Movement is the only way to describe what you were doing.”

Love & other words. After reading many of the entertaining series by CL I was pleasantly surprised to find this sweet story...becoming invested in Macy’s journey and then Elliots too. Intermittent flashbacks helped unfold the parallel between the teen and adult love story perfectly. And I appreciated the depth to the main characters in that they were all relatable. I too felt the book went too quickly-a compliment to the writing.

Awesome story. All of her books are a great read! This one was hard to put down.

Such a sweet love story. I have read many of these authors books. Many funny and sexy but this story was sweet and heart warming. Bring your tissues

Great fast read. I really enjoyed this book. I liked the way it jumped back and forth from past to present. I will miss these characters.

Love and Other Words. This is my first Christina Lauren but won’t be my last. I love when I stubble across new authors. The store of Elliot and Macy was a story of friendship, love, angst, insecurity, death, life family and destiny. This book checked all of the books leaving me wanting more and leaving me believing in soulmates. I love when I have a book hangover.

One of my faves!. This book is just everything! It’ll make you smile, cry, laugh, and make you feel good. Such a sweet, nostalgic story.

Obsessed. Their books are my absolute favorite, and this might be their best.

Love and other words. Awesome book I loved it so much these authors never ever fail they always deliver a great read ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Heartbreaking and Heartwarming. Loved this book from the first page....Christina Lauren- never disappoints!

What a page turner!. I couldn’t put this book down! It was endearing and comical and a perfect story filled with young love and loss. A must read!
