Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren

3.5



I loved the dual perspective of present and past. I loved getting to learn about the past & present of Macy and Elliot. The ending made me bawl, I did love the ending tons. 

I don’t like Macy as a person, but I loved her character. She’s been through so much, with her mom and dad. And getting to see exactly what she thought about those events, as an adult and a child. She was not someone who went after love, she ran from it. Because everyone she loved left her, in one form or another. I do wish we got more chapters ABOUT Sean. I don’t like that we didn’t get too many with him and we were soo focused on Elliot. 

Elliot is probably one of the LAMEST characters I’ve read about. He didn’t really get any form of explanation during the adult/current chapters, and all of his explanations were as a child/teenager during the past chapters. I wish we were able to get more of an explanation about him. I do wish we got more information about Rachel, she was in like 2 chapters, but seemed to be such a bigger person than 2 chapters worth.
