“I lost my heart to you. And, Bree, in case you're wondering, I don't ever want it back.”

someone explain to me the hype around this book please. i honestly felt nothing and maybe it could be me but i have a lot of issues with this book to know its not me

dont expect me to feel bad just cause its a popular book and pull the ”its not the book; its me” bullshit because it is very much the book

the fact i havent heard like any criticism on this book makes me wonder if i didnt read this right?? but some people agreed with me so… imma stick to my view

the beginning gave me hope. there was potential. the first chapter?? it hit me and i was convinced that this book would be like a really good book

and was i fucking wrong

theres a lot of ”pick me” action going on with bree over in her little corner with her thinking ”im gonna be different and get close with the odd guy no one talks to” like congratulations, would you like a fucking medal??

i felt like my braincells were deteriorating like yeah, ig it was somewhat sad but are we gonna just ignore how poorly it was all laid out??

the romance? way too fast. the plot? dont know where it went. the solution? rushed. the characters? not that likeable.


PLOT ˎˊ˗
uhhh so basically bree prescott runs away to a small town after experiencing something very traumatic. archer hale lives in the town where she ran to and also has experienced something traumatic when he was very young therefore making him mute. they somehow connect and then yeah the rest is history ig?

yeah umm this plot kinda just confused me. i thought they were trying to like get over their trauma and talk about it more?? imo there was more ”i love yous” and lovey dovey shit then talking about the issue at hand itself.

ofc things were addressed but it was all super rushed like that ending?? wtf what that. i didnt even know how things were wrapped up?? i thought there’d be more to both stories but it was like ”this happened to me.” and then problem solved??

like where was all the explanations and building on what they went through??? it wasnt fucking there


ROMANCE + SMUT ˎˊ˗
yeah, definitely not a fan of their romance. it was so fast like how are they already loving each other after like what, a couple of weeks?? i mean you do you boo but no.

“And in that moment, I knew. I was falling in love with the beautiful, silent man staring down at me. If I hadn't already fallen.”

like… how is she falling in love???

even like just how their friendship started was just so random?? idk like wow, he helped her and she thought ”oh lemme just find out this dude’s mystery” and just like that they hit it off??

there wasnt even a gradual build up to how they got to being friends and before i could even process that they were friends these two were like getting it on -_-

cant they let me fucking process??

the smut was ok. idk i wasnt really paying attention to the smut because i wanted to know about their stories and hey, nice that we were fed on about their sex lives but that isnt the point gosh

the only thing id say was cute??? was this part :

“What are you doing here? I asked.
You don't like thunderstorms, he answered.
I tilted my head, confused. You walked a mile in the rain because I don't like thunderstorms?
He hesitated for a second, looking away, frowning slightly. Then he looked back at me and said simply, yes. He paused, his expression pained. I know I'm probably the last person you want to see right now, but I just thought if I sat on your porch, you wouldn't be scared. You wouldn't be alone.”

like ok. thats very sweet. you get a gold star archer now moving on


CHARACTERS ˎˊ˗

bree prescott :
⤷ she was fine until she wasnt

i found her story sad. it was like ”ok wow i did not see that coming” then it kinda just went to shit and i was underwhelmed by how her story was solved

she got annoying and i kinda didn’t understand why she did half the things she did?? i was very conflicted and at many moments i wanted to just slap some sense into her

and why does she keep referring to archer as ”her mute man” or ”her silent boy” like ma’am?? its not cute please stop

i didnt enjoy her character and at times i felt bad for her and understand her pain etc but idk i just couldnt really connect with her because her story shouldve been talked about more, not her relationship with archer


archer hale :
⤷ sweet?? ig?? idk what to feel about him

i had not many issue with archer. still the same about bree and how i also wanted his story to be told more. it just was so vague imo and wasnt talked about enough

he was sweet and just idk theres really nothing much to say about him. he definitely grew in his character and im happy for them


!! spoilers so just ignore this small segment !!


are we not gonna talk about how archer asked bree to teach him driving and while she’s helping him drive, she goes and fingers herself?? BITCH WHAT??? this was like a huge step and this bitch is sticking her fingers down her pants like…. huh?

the whole reason why he doesnt drive is because he got into a fucking accident in a fucking car. his mother fucking died in the car accident like why is she thinking ”oh lemme just turn him on rq”

like huh??????

i mean, he enjoyed it. sure. good but still?? you shouldnt do that especially when this literally links what had affected their life for like ages???

and then the whole ”travis” fiasco like… he’s a fucking walking red flag and there was literally nothing on him at the end. he just got a redemption and it was like ”yup. ok. next.”

seriously, what was up with that?? travis was root problem to majority of the shit between bree and archer. so why was it just swept under the rug. i am conflicted uhhh


CONCLUSION ˎˊ˗
this book wasn’t that sad, was pretty overhyped, and overall a disappointment. im sorry if this review wasnt a nice, sappy love review on this book but if you did love it then please give me reasons why because it would really help me understand better dkskfkkg ok bye <3
