Publisher's Summary
The heart may hide, but it never forgets. The first women’s fiction novel from New York Times and number one international best-selling author Christina Lauren (Autoboyography, Dating You/Hating You).
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 Petropoulos - the first and only love of her life - the careful bubble she’s constructed begins to dissolve. Once upon a time, Elliot was Macy’s entire world - growing from her gangly teen 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 more - spending weekends and lazy summers together in a house outside of San Francisco reading 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 Macy’s decade-long silence and will have to overcome the past and himself to revive her faith in the possibility of an all-consuming love.

Devastating
Devastating story. Took me at least 4 hours to get used to the narration. The breathiness and tonality was frustrating to listen to. Beautiful story but wish I read the book instead of listened to it

strong emotions
This book really effected me emotionally a number of times. I enjoyed the switching between then and now.
Listening to the emails read out loud was really annoying but there weren't many of them.

love and other words
A sweet story about a young romance, reignited in adulthood. Whilst the ending was on the predictable side and a bit repetitive (protagonists phrasing and conversations) I would recommend this book for people who enjoy romance.
3 1/2 stars if I could give the extra 1/2 star.

Absolutely beautiful story
This is a 5 STAR book, but the emails were painful! Did the narrator have to read out their entire emails every time?
