Love and Other Words

De: Christina Lauren

Narrado por: Erin Mallon

After a decade apart, childhood sweethearts reconnect by chance but how many words will it take for them to figure out where it all went wrong? From the New York Times bestselling authors of the “delightful” (Shelf Awareness) The Unhoneymooners.

The story of the heart can never be unwritten.

Macy Sorensen is settling into an ambitious if emotionally tepid routine: work hard as a new pediatrics resident, plan her wedding to an older, financially secure man, keep her head down and heart tucked away.

But when she runs into Elliot Petropoulos—the first and only love of her life—the careful bubble she’s constructed begins to dissolve. Once upon a time, Elliot was Macy’s entire world—growing from her gangly bookish friend into the man who coaxed her heart open again after the loss of her mother...only to break it on the very night he declared his love for her.

Told in alternating timelines between Then and Now, teenage Elliot and Macy grow from friends to much more—spending weekends and lazy summers together in a house outside of San Francisco devouring books, sharing favorite words, and talking through their growing pains and triumphs. As adults, they have become strangers to one another until their chance reunion. Although their memories are obscured by the agony of what happened that night so many years ago, Elliot will come to understand the truth behind Macy’s decade-long silence, and will have to overcome the past and himself to revive her faith in the possibility of an all-consuming love.

Favorite Word: Tremendous

When I read Every Summer After, people kept saying it was so much like this book. So I was expecting a similar story and ready to be disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised. The stories were both told in Then and Now and they revolved around the coming of age love between a young boy and girl. But other than that, each book stood out on its own. I listened to the audio version of Love and Other Words and I feel like it made a deeper impact... I know I shed a few tears and my heart pounded in aniticipation of what was to come. I would recommend both books equally.

wow this is a good book!!

wow!! this is a amazing book, I haven't had it long but I've listened to it so many times already.
right when I listen to this book the song (until I found you by Stephen Sanchez) came in my head, if you haven't heard of that song go listen to it asap and then get this book and listen to it, the book is amazing!!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
