I loved this book so much!! The plot, the main characters, it was beautiful. I literally could not put it down. 

I’m knocking off half a star because the writing style was a little too casual for me, it felt very fan fiction at times (don’t get me wrong, I love a good fanfic but not when I’m going for more of a book vibe)
I also wasn’t a big fan of the

murderer storyline for Bree’s dad. It was hinted a couple times that the cops might have known more or didn’t reference is as a murder, etc. It kept seeming like the author was hinting at more and it never came. And then as soon as they said he was on bail I knew he was coming to town. That part was not only predictable but a tad rushed once the ball got rolling

All that being said still an amazing book, there was one big plot twist that I did not see coming and

the beginning of the final chapter when we thought Archer was dead had me DEVASTATED.

The writing style very much fits with the young adult genre, despite some explicit scenes. However, the character development is strong and the two main characters equally lovable for different reasons. The book touches on some important topics without trivialising them. If you enjoy a good love story then it’s not one to be missed.

And sometimes, that’s all it takes—one person who’s willing to listen to your heart, to the sound no one else has ever tried to hear.

i was in the mood for something romantic, a little dramatic and angsty, with some classic small town vibes, and this delivered.

archer and bree were very sweet. they were patient with each other's needs, were able to bond & comfort each other through their traumas, and seemed to be in sync (for the most part). archer managed to make me chuckle occasionally as well. most of the family drama was a bit predictable for me but still enjoyable. i didn't go in with super high expectations and this gave me what i expected for a contemp/dramatic romance.

It suddenly occurred to me that Archer Hale had taught himself an entire language, but hadn’t had a single person to talk to. Until me.

Loving another person always means opening yourself up for hurt. I don’t want to lose more than I already have, either, but isn’t it worth it? Isn’t it worth giving it a chance?

She asked me the sign for love and I spelled out your name.
