Not the typical romance story line. It honestly kept reeling me in and was so hard to put down. The way Bree sees so much potential in Archer. The way they love each other fiercely chefs kiss, even with the tears shed.

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.

It read like a YA book with some added sex scenes. Everyone says this book made them sob but maybe I'm cold as ice because at no point did I cry. I felt bad for what archer went through as a child yes, and bree witnessing her father's death. Insta-love trope. And the ending was so cliche and predictable.

I had higher hopes for this one as it’s recommended constantly. I gave it 4 stars so I definitely didn’t hate it but I sure didn’t LOVE it either. It’s a unique story but I felt like there are some gaps.

Why couldn’t Archer get the surgery to fix his voice when he got older? There was a lot that felt like foreshadowing during the story but it ended up just being the way the author was writing. There were a couple of phrases that were overused throughout and the repetition bothered me sometimes. Otherwise it was cute and unique, just not sure why so many people are in LOVE with the story.

I loved this book a ton. I would give it a 5 star if the writing was a little better. I personally enjoy Mia Sheridan’s writing, but the writing and dialogue in this book was just cringy sometimes. Like when

Archer and Bree start texting “Ilu” and “Ilu2”

I sort of cringed. That opinion might completely be just me though. I also feel like the spice was not needed. I was really hoping this would be a spice-free, heartfelt read.  Personally, I think the book would have been much better if the spice was left out. Despite these few flaws, this book was AMAZING and will always be held near and dear to my heart. This book made me gasp and laugh and cry and experience all the emotions. I would recommend this to anyone.
