If you know me, you know how much I adore everything these ladies write, and this book is no different. One of my closest friends read it ages ago and kept telling me I must get to it, but since the motto of my life seems to be, "I'm behind on things", it took me awhile to get around to read. Thankfully, I finally completed this gem last month and let me just tell you... oh. my. goodness! 

There's not much to say other than I absolutely devoured this book. Once I began reading, I couldn't stop. I lost sleep and I dragged myself into the land of the living the following day, and also felt myself in a literary stupor for some time after I closed the back cover. 

This is one of the few books I've read that when I left it, I felt I was putting it back on my shelf with a little more weight to it from the journey we shared together. I adored the angst, the tension building up to young love, the two kids who hid in closets reading books and picking their favorite words blossoming into something truly inseparable. Elliot and Macy have a long road ahead of them to figure out life and all its challenges, and the road to bliss is not a smooth or easy one. They have their fair share of broken moments that leave you aching and wondering if they'll ever have their ending tied up in a sweet, little bow, and all I can say is, it's worth the adventure they take you on. 

Love and Other Words is a book I wish I was clever or poetic enough to write. This is the sort of enchanting tale I would want to tell, so I must tip my hat to the powerful pair of Christina Lauren for publishing another beautiful, wonderful, perfect story. Every word on every page from star-to-finish was my favorite and I so envy their talents to produce such magic! 

If you have not, please please please do yourselves a favor and go read this book! You won't regret it!
