Love and Other Words

Love and Other Words ✨✨

By: Christina Lauren

• Quick read
• romance
• old friends to lovers

WHOLESOME is the word for this book. I never thought I would like a past and present POV until this one. The way Macy and Elliot’s friendship developed due to their love for books and how they were each other’s ’everything-ship’ ugh… I died.

Let me start by saying: miscommunication is a b*tch.

Losing contact with someone who used to be your everything is probably one of the hardest things in life. Especially if it is over miscommunication. One year turns into eleven years and next thing you know there is too much history to even bring up the reason why you lost communication with that person.

This book dives into how friendship started and how it ended and how it began all over again. Let’s just say; it made me believe in ”if it’s meant to be, it will be”

Favorite word: you

People We Meet on Vacation

By: Emily Henry

• Quick read
• romance
• friends to lovers
• traveling
• career
• ambitions

This book started off strong for me. Then it became a little slower. None the less, I still liked it. This book hits very close to home for me.

I relate so closely to the female MC. In today’s society, it is very hard to juggle career, goals and personal life and this book heavily touches on this subject.

You can spend the rest of your life planning out what your future will look like but sometimes, life throws a curve ball that may alter that plan.

On more days than I want to admit, I have always struggled between my personal life and my career. Growing up, my career and my ambitions always came first. Then life happened. I can’t truly say I want to go back and undo it, but sometimes; I catch myself day dreaming of the ”what if’s”… What if I stuck to the plan? I worked very hard to get to where I am now, but if I had stuck to the plan, I would have gotten here sooner.

Would I be happy then? Would I be content? That I will never know. Because I do love the life I chose, I love the person I have become. I WAS content but sometimes, that contentment has an expiration date. As humans, you will always dream, you will always want more.

This book will make you want to have it all. But like always, things doesn’t always go according to plan.

It Ends With US

I know it has been awhile since I wrote something. Even I am surprised that I was still able to access my log in… Anyway, as of 2022; I decided to pick up reading again. I haven’t really read in 4 months. But this time I am inspired to read AND review.

This is my first pick for 2022 –

• Quick read
• relationship/romance
• domestic violence
• trauma

In my opinion, this book was worth all the hype. In the greater scheme of this, this book shows that everyone heals differently and that past traumas can significantly affect your future.

No matter how much you think you’ve healed, someone out there is always going to challenge you and one of those is LOVE.

At the end of the day, everyone needs love. But sometimes, things are just meant to stay broken, especially if you have to gamble your physical and mental health for it. Sometimes, the best things in life is walking away from something and this book has shown that.
