AshleyThe best way I can describe this read for me is nostalgic. <br> <br> My personal love story started in the 8th grade, when I was fourteen and he was thirteen. That nerdy boy is now my husband, and we’ve been together 15 years now. <br> <br> This book is told in two timelines, and the “then” timeline that told the story of Elliot and Macy meeting at about the same age and falling in love was so familiar to me, and brought back so many memories. I had so much affection for these flashbacks. <br> <br> Perhaps that’s what really made me love this book. I do have my critiques, one that it’s a bit long and two that the end is a bit soapy, but overall I really enjoyed it. This story has many truly heartwarming moments, but it also explores some genuine pain and heartbreak. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/loveandotherwords?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#loveandotherwords</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/christinalauren?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#christinalauren</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookreview?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookreview</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookrecommendation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookrecommendation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fictionbooks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fictionbooks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/romancebooks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#romancebooks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booklovers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#booklovers</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readingtime?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#readingtime</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookthoughts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookthoughts</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookaesthetic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookaesthetic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookcommunity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookcommunity</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/contemporaryromance?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#contemporaryromance</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookdiscussion?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookdiscussion</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booksandmemories?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#booksandmemories</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookishthoughts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookishthoughts</a>
