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.

definitely a page turner. i liked the different povs and i liked the characters. i wish it wasn’t so quick? the second there was conflict it felt resolved within a few pages. the characters back stories were the main focus but also seemed to be covered quickly or even breezed over when it came time to explain them. there were chapters told from archers younger pov and i wished we could’ve had more of a look into that part of his life. happy ending and good side characters - aside from travis. some things were so cringey i felt like it would’ve been something i’d written when i was 12..

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
