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

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.Moderate: Gun violence
Minor: Rape

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". 🖤

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 smittenModerate: Alcohol, Car accident, Cursing, Death, Death of parent, Gun violence, Infidelity, Ableism, Bullying, Gaslighting, Grief, Panic attacks/disorders, Abandonment, Murder, Pregnancy, Rape, Sexual assault, and Violence
