“Don’t you ever say things that you don’t mean? Or wished that you’d said, but couldn’t find the right words – or any words at all?”
No Words is book number 3 in Meg Cabot’s Little Bridge Island series but, you do not need to read the other books in the series before you read No Words. This book is a slow burn enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy with some dramatic elements. This book is ideally suited to lovers of the contemporary romance and women’s fiction genres. If you enjoyed Beach Read by Emily Henry, The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren, Shipped by Angie Hockman, or How Sweet It Is by Dylan Newton, than No Words would be a perfect read for you. This book deals with themes such as appearance versus reality, love and family, escapism, communication (or lack there of), harassment, and vulnerability. The main takeaways for me were that words can be powerful, first impressions aren’t always correct, and everyone deserves a second chance.
Some cons were that this book was slow to start, and it ended a bit abruptly; I would have liked it if there were less lead-up to the book festival at the beginning and more chapters at the end of the book depicting what happened with Jo and Will post book festival. Without giving too much away, at the beginning of the festival, Jo learns that a fellow author was rumored to be acting inappropriately at a past convention; I found this part to be quite sketchy and I disliked how it took focus away from the budding romance between Jo and Will. Furthermore, it is important to note that No Words includes some depictions of characters’ past and present traumas (including harassment, missing persons, death of a family member, depression, etc.) that may be triggering for some readers. Overall, I enjoyed this book and think that it would make a perfect beach read! I gave this book a rating of 8 out of 10. This review was written for "The Nerd Daily".
