After a decade apart, childhood sweethearts reconnect by chance in New York Times bestselling author Christina Laurenâs touching, romantic novel Love and Other WordsâŠhow many words will it take for them to figure out where it all went wrong?
The story of the heart can never be unwritten.
Macy Sorensen is settling into an ambitious if emotionally tepid routine: work hard as a new pediatrics resident, plan her wedding to an older, financially secure man, keep her head down and heart tucked away.
But when she runs into Elliot Petropoulosâthe first and only love of her lifeâthe careful bubble sheâs constructed begins to dissolve. Once upon a time, Elliot was Macyâs entire worldâgrowing from her gangly bookish friend into the man who coaxed her heart open again after the loss of her mother...only to break it on the very night he declared his love for her.
Told in alternating timelines between Then and Now, teenage Elliot and Macy grow from friends to much moreâspending weekends and lazy summers together in a house outside of San Francisco devouring books, sharing favorite words, and talking through their growing pains and triumphs. As adults, they have become strangers to one another until their chance reunion. Although their memories are obscured by the agony of what happened that night so many years ago, Elliot will come to understand the truth behind Macyâs decade-long silence, and will have to overcome the past and himself to revive her faith in the possibility of an all-consuming love.

Es hermoso, me hizo llorar y emocionarme con los personajes, su amor a las palabras y a los libros, los pude entender perfectamente, la manera lenta en que ambos se enamoran.

No sabrĂa ni cĂłmo definir este libro. Es sĂșper, sĂșper romĂĄntico y a la vez tiene un toque de drama. Narra la historia entre dos amigos, cuya amistad se forja gracias a los libros y a su amor por las palabras. Esa amistad desemboca en amor, tan fuerte, que incluso les da miedo dar el paso de estar juntos para no dañarlo. La vida de ella se complica en un determinado momento y ⊠prefiero que os los expliquen ellos mismos. Os lo recomiendo, de verdad, muchĂsimo. La historia es contada con idas y venidas entre el pasado y el presente. Me encantĂł conocer a esos dos jĂłvenes e ingenuos Macy y Elliot, y poder disfrutar de su historia.
