OMG I LOVE THIS BOOK. It didn’t make me cry but it did make me sad. There’s a happy ending don’t worry. Archer is amazing, he was insecure which made sense but still I love him so much. This book was amazing everything was perfect and the plot twists, yesss I live for plot twists.

This was a cute and unique romance. the beginning was amazing to me and the development of their friendship was my favorite part. however, there were some parts in this book that just had me rolling my eyes.
also i kinda felt like the protagonist was kinda pushy. if not for that i could’ve enjoyed this so much more :/
Spoiler
like the part where there’s a weirdly stereotypical bullying scene between jocks and a nerd where the protagonist helps him?? it literally added nothing to the story and just made me so confused. also when archers dads wife somehow finds out about the protagonists life history and uses it to pull the guy to tried to rape her from her past to kill her????? like it felt so far fetched and stupid i did not understand how anyone could fully get past that.

I cried a lot during this book. Such a good read. I knew I would love this book and the characters. Archer went through so much and deserved so much better than what people gave him.
