This is not a typical college romance.
Story is told entirely through fragmented thoughts and real-time inner monologue. Between Her Words and Mine follows Sophie, an anxious transfer student who navigates dorm life, social overload, and her interactions with a magnetic new roommate she can’t stop noticing.
There’s no narration. No exposition. Every moment unfolds as it happens—raw, awkward, and unfiltered. No one explains themselves. No one stands still long enough to be understood. Feelings surface through spirals, silences, and misread glances.
It’s not about falling in love, alteast not at first. It’s about overthinking a touch, hiding a blush, and wondering whether she smiled at you, or you just imagined it.
If you’ve ever panicked in a quiet room, this one’s for you.
First time I’m trying this type of novel and I must at it’s good. The writing style is unique. I love the internal monologue thingy, makes the novel seem so realistic.
This story is quiet a unique read for me. Definitely not boring in anyway. It gives you a feel of authenticity and actually how human thoughts can be beautiful yet messy towards life journey. The author definitely change my perspective of how stories can be told. Just beautiful love it❤️
This is the first time I try this type of novel — slice of life. The heroine seems obsessed with herself and has self-confidence below zero. This makes it funny at times, but sometimes, the overthinking just to say a single word becomes annoying and boring. So you should try to find a balance in that aspect, dear author. The writing style is also a bit strange and unique, honestly. This can be considered a strength if used well. But as I mentioned, don’t overdo her thoughts and nervousness before every piece of dialogue. That’s just my personal opinion. Also, the chapters are a bit short — it would be better if they were slightly longer. Best of luck to you, author, and I wish you success.
