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.

Pretty explicit spicy scenes which I’m not totally opposed to in most books but was a bit much in this one. The love story was so intense so fast, but was sweet and I loved archer. The “villain” of the story was a bit over the top. 
One part I’m not the most qualified to speak on but their communication via sign language felt too easy to me. I’m not fluent but some of the stuff they said back and forth I just couldn’t picture how they would say that in sign, especially if they were using correct asl “grammar”. Also think it would be hard to learn asl without being able to practice with other people or be involved in the deaf community but I guess Archer is just a genius and just magically masters everything
