Also you will get to a part of the book where you don't want to read it anymore. Like you will put the book down and say no. But trust me finish the book. It's so worth it.

I stayed up late last night because I could not put it down. I am usually wary of viral books, but this book deserves it. This book will have you giggling with hope and crying for justice.
There are a lot of heavy subjects that Bree and Archer have to deal with which makes my heart ache for them. They found each other at a vulnerable time in their lives and they each gave each other space to heal and learn how to trust again while still allowing feelings to develop.
I despised Victoria, she was cruel to a CHILD.
When you think history will repeat itself,
Truly a beautifully written story with raw moments that will leave Bree and Archer in your thoughts after finishing the book.

I do wish we got more of Archers POV but this whole book was so wholesome and healing.

Bree suffers from a bad case of Beer Flavoured Nipples, where every man ever is madly in love with her, despite her having no real personality? Which would still be fine, if each of these men didn't bring their own share of annoying drama. Boo. I'm uncomfortable with how Archer is characterised as a either a 'lost puppy' or a 'little boy'. It's infantilising and verges on inspiration porn a lot. I really wouldn't recomend this as a well written disabled character, it's transparently meant for able bodied readers to self insert in the role of saviour instead. While we're on the subject, I'm intensely annoyed by how Bree's PTSD is magically cured over night by sex. Their relationship goes from 0 to 100 and they're in love by, like, 30%. I wish we could have seen that progress more organically instead of all the page time devoted to random bullshit.
I did really enjoy the sweet domesticity kind of scenes with Bree and Archer just chilling, and making dinner and talking. The sex scenes are sweet and the excessively descriptive writing works well there. I wish we had more of that and less gun men and scheming exes hiding behind every potted plant. The unnecessary drama at literally 95% - that I saw coming a mile off - pushed my rating down to two stars. I couldn't take any more of that.
