Love and Other Words: A Slow Burn That Stays With You
Love and Other Words is the kind of slow burn that sneaks up on you.
Every chapter adds another clue, another emotional layer, and the alternating timeline gives it a nostalgic, bittersweet rhythm.
It is technically a romance, but it is also a story about self-discovery. It is about reopening your heart after years of keeping it closed. It asks the questions that linger long after the final page:
Can people find their way back to each other after years apart?
Do first loves ever truly fade, or do they simply settle somewhere quiet inside us?
This week’s Dragon’s Roar also highlights Colleen Hoover’s upcoming thriller, Woman Down, arriving January 13, 2026. Get ready for twists, tension, and emotional chaos in true Hoover fashion.
If you love second chance romances that feel earned, heartfelt, and completely human, Love and Other Words belongs on your TBR.
