Dannie Kohan lives her life by the numbers. She is nothing like her lifelong best friend - the wild, whimsical, believes-in-fate Bella. Her meticulous planning seems to have paid off after she nails the most important job interview of her career and accepts her boyfriend’s marriage proposal in one fell swoop, falling asleep completely content. But when she awakens, she’s suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man.

Minnie Cooper knows two things with certainty: that her New Year's birthday is unlucky, and that it's all because of Quinn Hamilton, a man she's never met. Their mothers gave birth to them at the same hospital just after midnight on New Year's Day, but Quinn was given the cash prize for being the first baby born in London in 1990 - and the name Minnie was meant to have, as well. With luck like that, it's no wonder each of her birthdays has been more of a disaster than the one before.

By Far the Best Narrator of a Book I've Had

Publisher's Summary
"A smart, sexy, delicious novel." (People)
"Santopolo is a true master of matters of the heart." (Taylor Jenkins Reid)
From The New York Times best-selling author of The Light We Lost comes a tender and moving new novel about a woman at a crossroads after the death of her father, and caught between the love of two men.
Nina has always known who she's supposed to be. But is that who she truly is?
Nina Gregory has always been a good daughter. Raised by her father, owner of New York City's glamorous Gregory Hotels, Nina was taught that family, reputation, and legacy are what matter most. And Tim - her devoted boyfriend and best friend since childhood - feels the same. But when Nina's father dies, he leaves behind a secret that shocks Nina to her core. Soon, Nina begins to see the men in her life - her father, her boyfriend, and unexpectedly, her boss, Rafael - in a new light, finding herself caught between the world she loves and a passion that could upend everything.
More Than Words is a heartbreaking and romantic novel about grief, loss, love, and self-discovery, and how we choose which life we are meant to live.
Critic Reviews
“More Than Words is an outstandingly poignant and honest novel. Jill Santopolo is a true master of matters of the heart. This is a tender and wise story about family, love, and self. I couldn't put it down.” (Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo)
“A heartfelt story about life, love, and taking chances in the aftermath of loss.... This is a charming and sexy crowd-pleaser.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Santopolo returns with the tender More Than Words.” (Marie Claire)

Still waiting for something to happen!!
Its real hard to have a lot of empathy for the main character. Wealthy white girl with three homes, two men that love her, and now her own business complains she has lost everything! She never goes through a change to make her the slightest bit interesting. So many things could have happened that never did. In my book group we came up with so many different ways this story could have been better, with twists, etc. Nothing good about this book! Sorry it wasted my time!!

More Than Words has more than my heart.
I believe the best books are the ones that change you because they connect to so many aspects of your soul that their message stays long after you’ve closed the book. More Than Words has done this for me. From the emotional loss of Nina’s parents to the search for her true self (and love). I have learned and grown as her story progressed. This book has made me smile, tear, laugh, and scream. I’ve enjoyed every second I spent listening and am fully planning on buying a physical copy of More Than Words. A story this beautiful should be read multiple times and cherished with the ones you love. Thank you Jill Santopolo, you have gained a fan.

Disappointing especially as I loved her first book
I was very disappointed in this book. The main female character loses her father fairly close to the beginning and thus undergoes “big” changes in becoming her own person ... the author portrays these “big” changes getting an ear cartilage piercing and cutting her hair. And breaking up with boyfriend . Ok. Let’s not forget that Nina Gregory is entitled and spoiled and quite frankly doesn’t have any challenges. It would be nice to have seen her have to deal with real hard issues that face women today. Instead she’s just handed everything . The huge issue of her father embezzling the company is just covered up. And she breaks up with fiancée and is in bed with another man and “in love” with him immediately. Please let’s write books that start to really deal with the issues that women face and how to overcome them with grace and fortitude. I would not waste my money on this book.

Throughout the 10 stories in You Think It, I'll Say It, Sittenfeld upends assumptions about class, relationships, and gender roles in a nation that feels both adrift and viscerally divided. With moving insight and uncanny precision, Curtis Sittenfeld pinpoints the questionable decisions, missed connections, and sometimes extraordinary coincidences that make up a life. Indeed, she writes what we're all thinking - if only we could express it with the wit of a master satirist, the storytelling gifts of an old-fashioned raconteur, and the vision of an American original.

Story
Throughout the 10 stories in You Think It, I'll Say It, Sittenfeld upends assumptions about class, relationships, and gender roles in a nation that feels both adrift and viscerally divided. With moving insight and uncanny precision, Curtis Sittenfeld pinpoints the questionable decisions, missed connections, and sometimes extraordinary coincidences that make up a life. Indeed, she writes what we're all thinking - if only we could express it with the wit of a master satirist, the storytelling gifts of an old-fashioned raconteur, and the vision of an American original.
