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

Also the way the author showcased archer’s anxiety, trauma and thoughts? OMG. It was done so well, i felt his every emotion and felt for him. My sweet archer. He deserves everything.
There were so many times I hugged my kindle because they’re so precious to me and even sobbed because of the emotions they made me feel 😭
What made me not give it 5 stars.. were all the sexual acts they were having. You could say it was part of them figuring out their relationship together and I didn’t really mind how it was described (bc honestly the author did such a good job).. it was just how much it was occurring? I thought it was alot in my opinion but their thoughts and emotions being described during the act(s) made up for it!
THEY BOTH HAVE MY HEART AND I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH. THEY ARE APART OF MY PERSONALITY NOW. My sweet babies. They deserve it all.

The story was so beautiful and heartbreaking at times with such a great message.
- “I realized people’s reactions had more to do with them, more to do with who they were, than anything about me.”
- “I had to fight for myself first”
- “Love was all about learning to speak a person’s language”
- “You brought the silence. The most beautiful sound I’d ever heard”
- “Archer Hale’s voice was one of the most beautiful things in the whole wide world.”
- “The loudest words are the ones we live”

The more i think about this book the more i realize i hate it. I think that the traumas from the main characters were romanticized. And the second that they got together i lost all my interest, which was way to soon. And wtf was with the plot with the hooker! it did not add anything to the story, they already have alot of traumas! I get it he doesn’t have experience but during that, he does repeatedly say that he knows he is doing the wrong thing. So why justify him going to a stripclub???!! And the ending wtf was that?! It was a whole new plot in the last few chapters. Overall i just cannot give it more than one star…Graphic: Sexual content, Death, Injury/Injury detail, Panic attacks/disorders, Sexual assault, Alcohol, Death of parent, Gun violence, Murder, Gaslighting, Car accident, and Grief
