Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren
5.0
emotional slow-paced
Loveable characters: Yes

This is such an impossibly sweet and humble book. It is a simple story of 2 childhood best friends and how they fell in love with each other. Macy and Elliott are so easy to fall for as a romance reader.

Friends to lovers has been one of my favourite trope for as long as I can remember. Its amazing how a quiet story can make you fall hard in love with it. This story may be a work of fiction but it definitely makes me wish dreams came true.

"Limerence."
There is no word like it: The state of being infatuated with another person."

“Favorite word?” he whispers.
I don’t even hesitate: “You.”
