It was a very cute book, I laughed, I cried, and I definitely felt the emotions with the characters, especially in the end and the epilogue. 

As a person with PTSD, I didn’t like how it seemed that their PTSD was magically cured by love, when that’s not how it works. Sometimes having support helps, but it comes in unexpected waves and storms, and this wasn’t portrayed in the best way. 

Also, as a person who works with Deaf people daily as an interpreter, I think more research on the language could have made it more believable to me. There were a lot of phrases that were used that wouldn’t be used if people were signing because it’s not a translatable phrase. ASL is not just a signed version of English.

With more research and effort to try to make these parts more realistic could have easily made this a wonderful 5 ⭐️ read.

A cute, predictable story. The writing was definitely on a lower level than I like, but that made it incredibly easy and fast to read. However, the limited vocabulary and simple structure hindered its ability to make a big emotional impact.

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
