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.

I was so incredibly excited to read this book, because of the never ending hype that it’s been getting online for the last several years. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my read of Archer’s Voice. As the book went on, I started to enjoy it less and less, because the dialogue became cringier and the characters became more naïve/ridiculous in their inner monologues and decision making. I think the general plot idea was a super interesting one that could have been explored in a compelling way, but extremely predictable plot twists and many “convenient” things that were used to advance the plot just came off as cheesy. I know that I’m very much opposite to what most people who have read this book felt, but I unfortunately didn’t enjoy this book nearly as much as I was hoping to.

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..
