by Mia Sheridan
emotional
sad
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
no spoilers <33
i’ve heard a lot of hype about this book and it actually met most of it. I absolutely adored all the characters especially archer and I of course appreciate the representation and how his muteness was not healed but rather appreciated as it was. Of course the romance in this book was also really sweet, however it did bring up a couple of my problems with the book.
at some points I felt like the book was immaturely written, it was rather predictable and sometimes even cringy. I was going to give most of that to the fact that it’s definitely an older book and so for example the texting that sounds awfully millennial would since it was written years ago, however I think some sentences for example could’ve been taken out and they could’ve elaborated more on other topics. And also the plot was a little bouncy and I just felt like it needed more direction.
other than being a little cringy, though, i think it was still really sweet, especially the beginning parts and how they worked through their trauma together. i’d like to say 3.5 but i’m rounding down, def an easy read if you’re looking for a heartfelt romance.
