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.

I regret holding out on reading this book for so long. First off i absolutely adore both Bree and Archer. I adore their strength and their chemistry. Their backstories are so heart breaking. I felt the kicking feet, toe curling and blushing happiness, The “i wanna punch something” madness, and the absolute sobbing sadness. This book was everything and it’s easily a 5 star for me! 
-
But why did Mia have to include “ilu” in their texts?? that was the only thing i actually cringed at.

"God, this man. He was going to kill me with sweetness overload."

I stayed up late last night because I could not put it down. I am usually wary of viral books, but this book deserves it. This book will have you giggling with hope and crying for justice. 

There are a lot of heavy subjects that Bree and Archer have to deal with which makes my heart ache for them. They found each other at a vulnerable time in their lives and they each gave each other space to heal and learn how to trust again while still allowing feelings to develop. 

I despised Victoria, she was cruel to a CHILD.
I couldn't imagine how bad his uncle felt in his last days knowing he was convinced by Victoria not to allow surgery that would have given Archer a chance to speak again. Let's not forget how she helped her son, Marcus, rape Alyssa. She was just rotten to the bone.


When you think history will repeat itself,
Archer goes on a journey to find himself, and his independence and I think in that moment he truly saved himself from having to experience what his parents went through.
It was fascinating to read how Archer worked through his emotions and thoughts. It truly made me love his character! I loved Bree for being patient with him and
sticking through it because she knew he was worth it. She saw the potential even when he couldn't see it yet.


Truly a beautifully written story with raw moments that will leave Bree and Archer in your thoughts after finishing the book.

I can see why people have spoke about this book for years. It's about healing yourself despite what people think of you. I cannot believe that a whole town just decided not to speak to a seven-year-old boy ever again??? Like I understand that Victoria Hale was evil and had power but also like.... y'all own your houses, she is not your landlord. I wish the people of Pelion did more for a child, but alas. I'm glad Bree came into town to help bring Archer back to the people and life he left behind.

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
