Ramblings of a Book-A-Holic rated it 13 years ago
I loved this book more than I thought I would. I felt so connected to Ari; the writing style of Ms Rosenthal really lets you get in her head. Ari is just your typical high schooler. Her sister got married and pregnant at 18 so their mother has always been hard on Ari, pushing her to be her best, as ...

I've been wanting to read this book for quite some time, and, I have finally read this! I'm actually looking and craving for this kind of story lately--the realistic kind of story in which you can identify yourself with or have been or seen this kind of situation. I loved how the characters were de...

Well that bummed me out. I had such high hopes for this one and it just left me feeling depressed and baffled. The idea of the book was great as was the writing style, but it was just so slow and lacking that it really just ended up making me sad. I mean Ari was whiny, Summer was annoying, Blake was...

I can't exactly pinpoint the exact reason why I gave this book such a low rating. It seemed like a book I would like, fluffily YA romance, right? But I felt more and more sour towards the book as the pages went on, until I was reading it just for the sake of finishing it. Maybe it's the characters, ...

Tells the cautionary tale of how dangerous getting addicted to a person can be. Relatable at parts but nothing special.

I really liked this book. It's about figuring out what you want, geting to know yourself and people around you, growing up, taking chances and making the wright choices - and, above all it's about girl power - something I'm raised to believe in.

So this is great book... it has ups and downs but without them this book wouldn't be so great! :) For me the best thing is the end..because i though that this will be some classic end .. you know..they lived happily ever after..and i'm so happy because it's not! :)

I wanted to like Other Words for Love. No, I wanted to love Other Words for Love.Ari's story had a rocky start for me, with over a hundred pages passed before we meet the boy she is supposed to fall in an out of love with. This time was filled with family drama; her sister Evelyn's mood swings, Ari'...

To say I was disappointed with the end of the book is a total understatement. Don't get me wrong, the book itself was good. I really enjoyed Ari and I connected with her and the other characters. Patrick was awesome, and so was Mom. It's just that when I pick up a novel expecting a love story (b...
