This book will make you laugh and cry and feel love for certain characters.  Not to give anything away but the characters have gone through so much in their past and they see themselves as broken.

One of the main characters are running away from the hardship thay they have experienced because they dont want to face it. And the other main characterhas kept themselvesin isolation, not wanting to be social and just wants to hide from everyone.

I would consider some aspects of the book quite relatable when it comes to self doubt and needing reassurance from the people you love and care about. But then it's so beautiful because it shows you that love has no bounds or limits. And that you shouldn't settle for less. And I think Mia Sheridan,author, really made that clear with her chatacyer development of Archer and Bree. (main characters)
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 went into this book without any details. I'm glad I did. 

Watching Archer and Bree fall in love was beautiful. Seeing them face their own trauma was heartbreaking. 

The story is so tender, and I love both of them so much.

What a mental rollercoaster. Wow. 

After a while I found that the spicy parts took away from the storyline and found myself skipping over those sections haha, but even though I found most of the twists predictable I really did enjoy the storyline and development of Brees relationships with the people in Pelion.

Wow, finally got this out of the tbr after years of Steph Bohrer recommending it!
Archer's Voice has its problems, the main one being that so much TRAGEDY happens to these two main characters that sometimes it feels like the author just wanted to add some ✨️extra drama✨️ for the sake of it. Still, a good old small town romance book with a twist and well written characters.
