A review by sundayseesstars
Archer's Voice, by Mia Sheridan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.
The main character treats the love interest like a small child, at least in her internal monologue. He's a grown man, he's just mute. Having a disability doesn't mean he's helpless. She has sex with him and still calls him things like "awkward boy" in her mind. She also very clearly wants him to change, for example in the way he looks.
But Archer is not the best character either. He has some mysoginistic moments in the book.
I finally gave up when
Spoiler Archer cheated on the main girl in a strip club. I cannot believe that a grown man, however removed from society he has been, does not understand the concept of cheating and that clearly his girlfriend will not be happy with him if that is something he does. He was too gullible for a twenty-something year old man. Also I just hate cheating and therefore had no more energy to keep going.

I started reading this book because I wanted something sweet and easily digestible. I wasn't expecting miracles, and yet this book still managed to disappoint me.
