I got this ARC on NetGalley and wanted to read it before it was published (January 18). I love that there’s Deaf rep and the story on a whole is very sweet and riddled with humour.
My main issue with it was the miscommunication, oh my gosh! I hate a third act break up too and the fact that they broke up because they weren’t talking to each other and working things out just annoyed me. Like please, you both are in your thirties acting immature.
I started the story thinking it was a 4 because the archaeology details and the fun in the forced proximity was great! After 50% though it just demoted itself to a 3, but if you don’t mind the tropes I mentioned then it’s worth a read :)
