kristinakelly13's review against another edition

Lack of research done by the author on the use of sign language, how to learn sign language, and anything remotely related to sign language in general. It was frustrating as a Deaf studies major to read this and was not able to finish it due to its inaccuracies. I’m severely disappointed

I can see why people have spoke about this book for years. It's about healing yourself despite what people think of you. I cannot believe that a whole town just decided not to speak to a seven-year-old boy ever again??? Like I understand that Victoria Hale was evil and had power but also like.... y'all own your houses, she is not your landlord. I wish the people of Pelion did more for a child, but alas. I'm glad Bree came into town to help bring Archer back to the people and life he left behind.

I don’t know why I always save emotionally devastating books for when my own heart feels fragile, but this was such a balm for the soul. I really loved Archer’s story, and Bree was such a wonderful support for him. While told mostly in Bree’s POV, this is very much Archer’s book. 

I found all the plot and character beats believable, some of the side characters are a bit one note but I didn’t really mind this while reading as they don’t take much away from the main story. 

If you like small town romance, if you like broken MCs who are looking to put themselves back together again - this is for you.

The beginning is kinda slow but other than that the storyline keeps you locked it. Archers childhood is rough but he is sweet, caring,vulnerable man that with have you think 'husband material'. <Be prepared to hate Travis in this book >. I would recommend this book
