Love and Other Words

Love and Other Words ✨✨

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

4/5

This is such a cute and quirky read. This started off and stayed about the same. The whole time I was anticipating on what was going to happen. The character development on this was so adorable. Relatable in a way because I am always arguing back for the sake of arguing.

This book also touches the subject of ”bad luck” often times, when life doesn’t turn out the way you planned, you think think of it as bad luck or you are an unlucky person. People believe in four leaf clovers or lucky pennies, but in reality; luck is what you make of it.

A lucky penny or a leaf is does not hold magic, but the actions you take when you associate good things happening when you have these things is what matters. We get so caught up with the bad things that happens all the time that when something good happens, we look at it as ”luck”

The Unhoneymooners is definitely a relatable book for a lot of people who dreams big but have to face the obstacle of reality.

Colleen Hoover DOES IT AGAIN.

This book speaks volumes. I cannot recommend this book enough. I absolutely loved it. Let me start by saying, wow. The character development on this one is adorable.

There is no such thing as perfect. One cannot simply exist without a flaw. This book focuses not only people that suffers infertility but it also touches the issue of marriage.

Getting married, it is easy. Staying married, not so much. I too, struggle with this. Each day I wake up next to my husband; perfectly imperfect. But the longer I stay in this marriage, the more it becomes a routine.

Routines are good but thinking about how many times you have to wake up, work, eat and sleep it becomes something you HAVE to do instead of something you WANT to do and you know what? That is part of life. That’s what makes us human.

It takes a lot of fight to stay in a marriage and this book… this book focuses on that fight.

3.5/5

This book started off strong for me. Then slow… Maybe the writing style isn’t my type? or maybe this was just a little unrelateable for me.

The story all in all was happened very quick but the middle part was lacking ”chemistry” yes, I said chemistry since there is some science talk on this one; which I liked.

Did I like it? Yes, the story was cute but maybe that was it for me. When I read something, I always connect more with ones I relate the most and this one was just not there for me.

Again, I liked it. Although, the there were a little too much characters in this one. It was a little hard to keep up especially because of the writing style. I did end up reading this for about 4 hours.

Some say that the ”spice” level on this book is definitely out there and in my opinion, yes I agree. But it definitely did not give me THE FEELS.

I am sad that I did not like this as much as I wanted to. Maybe I will give it another shot and re read it again.

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.

Maybe Someday

This book started slow for me. Then boom!!! Right in the feels. I never thought something so genuine could make me bawl my eyes out.

The character development between two of the MC’s are so natural and pure. For the first time in awhile, I felt like someone reached into my chest and made me feel things. Both characters are so genuine and selfless but when I say the heart wants what it wants, this book will tell you to follow your heart.

Often times, people sticks with familiarity and the feeling of being comfortable but when your heart is involved it is almost better to follow it (for the most part) but does that sense of familiarity good enough? Or is it becoming selfish?

Additionally, each characters are so unique in their own way. Even the side characters! As much as I want to go further with this one, I think you should do yourself a favor and grab a copy and see it for yourself.

Happy Reading!
