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.

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. 

also i kinda felt like the protagonist was kinda pushy. if not for that i could’ve enjoyed this so much more :/

I was NOT expecting to love this book as much as I did!! But what a pleasant, beautiful, heartbreaking surprise. I don't know if I've ever been more in love with two main characters. Their strength and love brought me so much joy. I thought I had predicted the biggest surprise, but I didn't expect there to be more than one.

I found this book on Bookstagram, and I feel it isn't one of the more popular recommendations. I kind of hope it stays that way so I can keep this little slice of perfection to myself a bit longer. 

Perfectly spicy, endearing, heartbreaking, and inspiring all rolled into one glorious story. Bonus points for being the fourth book to ever make me cry.

P.S.

Había sido ella quien me había dicho que mi voz importaba, y su amor me había hecho creer que podía ser cierto. Y, a veces, eso es todo lo que se necesita, una persona dispuesta a escuchar a tu corazón, un sonido que nadie ha querido escuchar antes

i love this <3. it's one of those books that makes me think of soulmates just because bree and archer are so perfect for each other. watching them fall in love was really enjoyable as well as emotional just because they've both been through so much, but they're the only people that really understand each other. archer was shot in the neck when he was a kid which damaged his larynx/voice box and he lost his ability to speak, and bree is the only person after the accident that's ever treated him like a normal person and gave him a chance to open up. after the accident, the people in his small town treated him like an outcast and said that he "wasn't right in the head", which was just simply not true. makes you think about how many times you may have just assumed something about someone without knowing the full story. anyway, they communicate through sign language throughout the book (she knows it because her dad was deaf). he's just such a sweet character and i love him. i also liked the mysterious-ish aspect of the book, because they allude to this accident that their whole small town knows about, but nobody really knows the full story of it, and they've all just assumed that archer is deaf because he never spoke. slowly filling in the gaps of what actually happened until you got the big reveal was so interesting, and it kept me on my toes the whole time. definitely would recommend this book if you want something emotional yet has a happy ending :) also i know i said i thought it was going to be a 5 ⭐️ read for me, but i ended up giving it 4. it was still really good, just didn't get that extra push i guess.
