Somewhat of a nice love story but lots of gun violence, trauma, messiness that doesn’t really get resolved. The portrayal of Archer’s disability and the realization being considered groundbreaking that he’s not dumb like everyone thought he was simply because he can’t speak after
his uncle shot him in the throat as a child (?!)
< felt quite problematic and self congratulatory. It was a quick, easy read but lots of things felt glossed over and over-simplified. Bree’s friends and the other townspeople seemed like very unnecessary characters, should have been fleshed out more fully.

This book took me a while to get through, I'm glad I've finally finished it.
I wanted to like this book even though it has mixed reviews. It started off well and I was intrigued but from the middle onwards it became quite slow paced and monotonous. I became quite bored and uninterested and struck with it, it got slightly better at the very end. 

I disliked how infantilised Archer was at times it seemed like he had the brain of a child and this made me feel uncomfortable reading some parts. It would've also been great to see Bree focus on herself, her goals and ambitions too. She moved to a new place as a single independent woman but then became completely besotted with someone and lost that part of herself.

This book was a sweet but spicy romance about a girl who falls in love with a man who is mute when she moves to a small town to escape the recent murder of her father

I had been emotional throughout the entire book, a couple tears were shed. It’s one of those books that you don’t want to put down but know you have things to do. And one of the ones you cannot stop thinking about afterwards. I over the writing, the plot/concept, and the characters. The writing was an easy read, yet felt like an adult book. The plot, or concept, where Archer didn’t have the option to speak, was interesting. I’ve never read a book like that. The characters and their connections to one another, including plot twists, was amazing. The cons were that the last 1/3 of the book felt rushed. I thought there were things in there that should have been described more, while other things could have been taken out or were badly described. I felt like we didn’t get much of Archer’s POV (a lot of scenes could have used it to better understand him), and the transition to the end was sloppy. Overall, I enjoyed the book, but will admit to wanting to skip most of the ending.
