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.

This is a tough one for me to rate. It wasn't a bad book. I really liked Archer's character and history. Brie's wasn't bad either. The progression was just very predictable and formulaic. There was so much foreshadowing and no mystery. Travis was such a walking red flag. Around 60%, I was just ready for it to be done because I knew everything that was going to happen.

I liked the plot but the writing style was less than desirable. Sheridan couldn't think of any other word besides "bitch" to describe mean-spirited women, kept calling Archer a "strong, silent boy," and Bree kept calling it her "tummy" instead of "stomach." The language was annoying. Also, Travis, the main antagonist, could not have been written as a more cliche d-bag. Also, for a book called "Archer's Voice," Archer's POV wasn't really featured. Bree seemed to think she could save Archer from his incredible trauma, which was just stupid.

I went into this book without any details. I'm glad I did.

Watching Archer and Bree fall in love was beautiful. Seeing them face their own trauma was heartbreaking.

The story is so tender, and I love both of them so much.

Genuinely I’m so confused as to how this book has over 4 stars, and was probably the most recommended book to me ever!

My main issue is the author telling everything literally rather than showing. The writing is bad.

Other than that:
Weird infantilizing of the mute character even within sexually explicit scenes which feels particularly gross for me. Language at times was terribly ableist and weird, especially describing the MFC’s love for the MMC. Feels way too contrived to have

brothers fighting over a single girl in both generations

. The way what I see as non-consent (intoxicated, inexperience, character is mute) is handled is gross. How does someone own a town?? Everyone states the MMC is supposed to be so sweet and lovely but his jealousy and inability to trust the MFC when she says she will do something or feels a certain way (despite her literally never having lied to him) is gross and not in line with a sweet, lovely, MMC. His virginity also like goes beyond virginity into borderline not knowing about sex at all which just comes across again as infantilizing and gross. There are just an ungodly amount of explicit scenes with nothing of substance or interest in between.

I am the target audience for this book like everyone recommended it to me for a sweet MMC and disability representation but it’s just so poorly executed in every way in my opinion, I couldn’t even finish it.
