Love and Other Words
Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren masterfully weaves the past and present of Macy Sorensen, a young paediatrics resident, who appears to have everything under control. She's engaged to an older, financially stable man and is excelling in her demanding career. But behind this composed exterior, Macy hides a heart that has never fully healed from a lost love.
Everything changes when Macy unexpectedly encounters Elliot Petropoulos, the boy who was once her best friend and first love. Their reunion brings a torrent of memories, transporting Macy back to the time they spent together as teenagers, sharing weekends and long summer days filled with books, dreams, and budding emotions. Told in alternating timelines, Love and Other Words deftly explores the evolution of their relationship from a deep childhood friendship to a profound first love that ultimately shattered on the night Elliot confessed his feelings.
As adults, both Macy and Elliot must navigate the chasm left by their years apart and the pain that initially drove them away from each other. Elliot is determined to mend the wounds of the past and rebuild the trust they once shared. Through their journey, they both confront their shared history, face the realities of the present, and grapple with the possibility of a future together.
Christina Lauren, the No. 1 international bestselling author known for other captivating novels such as The Unhoneymooners and The Soulmate Equation, delivers a heart-wrenching yet heart-warming narrative in Love and Other Words. This tender story of first love, mature love, and the unyielding bonds that shape us is a testament to the enduring power of the heart.
