If you want to read some graphic sex this is the book for you, lol it certainly took me by surprise! Definitely a corny love story, in a way that makes you cringe but you still want to keep picking it up! It tackles some interesting points though, and has a little bit of mystery and that definitely elevated the romance for me

Loved this book. The writing was gorgeous and the vibe was perfect. This book is a mix of small town romance with characters marked by their dark pasts and kinda slow burn…? Also, there is dual pov, which I absolutely adore in general but especially in this one. No one can say anything against my precious Archer. I loved how this book shows that men can also suffer and be miserable and need to be cared for and can cry and can be in love so wholeheartedly. On the contrary, the book tackles some pretty tough traumatic experience (Bree: rape/sexual assault and Archer: family issues) as well, so be sure to check the trigger warnings. Yet, this book perfectly describes how two people can heal through love, trust and communication and that’s what I love about it. Actually, it’s not a stereotypical love story but a book about tenderness and understanding. At last: read this book, it’s pretty awesome and even worth a reread. 

Ps: you should not read this book if anyone (your parents for instance) can look over your shoulder (I speak from personal experience) xD

An incredible story about

Spoiler

Archer’s inability to speak. It’s such a moving story on what it’s like to live in his world where very few people understand him. Once Bree comes into his life you can feel their connection instantly. Their past trauma bringing them closer together topped off with their incredible physical chemistry as well. Truly loved reading this and getting a glimpse of what it’s like for Archer and people like him who struggle with speech or even those with similar experiences like the deaf.

Wow I didn't know what to expect with this book. This book made you feel everything so many times throughout; hope, happiness, pride, sorrow, encouragement, irritation, all the things!! All the characters and back stories in this small town were greatly thought out. Everything felt full circle. The romance was beautiful and felt real and genuine. The overall message of the book of being kind and friendly to everyone is so important and I loved the story.

Also love an asl representation....."it would probably be amazing what we could all see and hear if we would just shut out mouths a little more, and stop trying to constantly hear our own voice". 🖤

3.75

I’m going 3.75 stars. This book was super cute and I’m obsessed with Archer! I want to protect him at all costs because he’s just so pure. The story was good and I enjoyed most of the characters. It was great to see asl representation in a book. I liked the growth for both Archer and Bree. My main turn off has to do with

Spoiler

the implied sexual adult against Archer and how Bree’s reaction wasn’t recognizing that it was 100% rape. I know nothing actually happened to Archer at the strip club, but the reader, and Bree, didn’t know that initially so I was upset seeing Bree say that Archer made the “choice” to go in the back room. <\spoiler> Other than that though this book had me smitten
