This book was definitely a 5-star read. I loved this book so much, a different type of love in comparison to what I've felt for other books. The emotions I had for this book weren't like they used to be with my other loved books. It wasn't squealing over cute romantic moments, dramatic drama, anxiety, and the love for the male character love for HER. Instead, it was comfort. I felt such comfort reading this book. There was almost no stress in this book except for the two heartbreaks I had.
I loved the way Bree loves Archer and the way Archer loves Bree. How they handled their issues like real adults and found good and reasonable solutions. How they helped heal each other and stood by the other person when needed. I also loved how there was not a single drop of childish games and how the author instead focused on real realistic relationship problems.
It was never cringing or awkward in my opinion and the characters were smart, understanding and reasonable. Bree was unproblematic, sweet and precisely what Archer needed. And considering Archer's upbringing and lifestyle before Bree, he turned out pretty well. I really liked Archer's journey throughout the book and how he eventually learned to love himself. The book itself had a great layout and the plot lines were interesting and didn't seem rushed or unfinished. I didn't get bored throughout the book and the ending fitted perfectly. I also liked the extended epilogue and Archers side of chapter 15. This book if I dare say was almost amazing. The whole book was just satisfaction and beauty and emotion.

Honestly I got into this expecting heartbreak everyone seemed to rave about how sad it is but in my case nothing happened at all and if you know me I cry from the littlest things literally but I haven't shed a single tear in this.
The story was pretty average for a romance I didn't find anything special about it and it didn't give me what I usually seek in a romance. There were parts were it was really cheesy and not even the kind of cheesy I like and other parts were cringey for me. Usually I don't mention this in my reviews but this had lots of smut which didn't go well with the story and it made it really unrealistic. You could read it as a plain romance but don't be expecting anything like I did and I personally think there are better things out there.

This book was really good! It has a small town beach setting and an emotional romance story. Archer and Bree both have complex histories of trauma that impact them throughout the story. Their growth and love for one another is beautiful.
