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.

Oh my goodness. This book was BEAUTIFUL.

It was so tragic but as with most tragic things there was such beauty within it. The characters were so well fleshed out. Archers back story… every time they flashed back I was crying. Honestly I was crying for a lot of the book.. I think the message of this book about how everyone needs a friend and to give people a chance is such an important one. Archer is mute but people have isolated him his whole life and thought he was a freak just for being different. All that resulted in was a loss on their side because they didn’t get to know such a smart and determined person. His character progression was gorgeous and done so well. The innocence that Archer has is portrayed wonderfully. As a man who has grown up in one house without interacting with anyone but his uncle he has a lot to learn and figure out. And Mia wrote that exploration incredibly.

And then we have Bree. A girl looking for a distraction who ends up finding a home. The things she does for Archer and the way she brings him out of his shell, honestly what a human. Especially as she’s also in the process of trying to rediscover and heal after her own traumatic event.

The supporting, older members of town were also so fun to read about. The way both Archer and Bree came together with their mutual trauma and lack of family was so sad but also they were able to utilise all they’d been through to help each other. I’ve never met a book with so much trauma and heartache, that was also filled with such love and unwavering support.

This book was way more than romance. There was big family drama and mysteries, friendship. Small town drama. And a lot of beautiful lessons. The writing was stunning and honestly, I started this book before bed. It’s currently 4.15am and I am writing this review after reading the book in one very sleepless sitting. I could not put it down. Pacing isn’t even fast. But it’s just addictive and gripping. I was laying in bed sobbing. I loved it. And truly that’s the best thing I can say about it. Fate is a beautiful thing, and I think we could all stand to believe in it a little more.

BRB. I’m going to go and wish on a dandelion.
