In this episode of Soul of the Words, I’m diving into one of my favorite 5-star romance reads—Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren. This book beautifully explores first love, heartbreak, and the power of second chances through the story of Macy and Elliot, two childhood best friends who became each other’s everything—until one misunderstanding tore them apart.
Years later, Macy is engaged to a single dad, living a carefully structured life that keeps her past buried. But when Elliot unexpectedly reappears, their unresolved emotions come rushing back, forcing Macy to face the truth she’s been avoiding.
In this episode, I break down the breathtaking chemistry, the unforgettable flashback scenes, the emotional depth of the writing, and my one minor critique about the central misunderstanding.
If you love deeply emotional romance, dual timelines, and characters that feel real, this is a must-read. Tune in as I share why Love and Other Words is one of the best second-chance romances I’ve ever read.
