Peppa's Reviews > Arrows Through Archer

„Don’t you want to be happy, Ace?” And because he was my best and only friend, I said, “I don’t know. I don’t remember what it feels like anymore.“

Two grieving men find comfort and peace in each other. It was heavy ….it was deeply emotional, angsty but also hopeful.

When it comes to Archer his pain and grief was so unbelievable raw written that it made myself choke a few times. I‘m not really a sensitive person but the writing style here really got me. I can’t describe.

Archers whole story made me sob, he was so damn lost and hurt on the edge of giving up that I just wanted to put him in my bag and keep him safe.
As Mallory started to get involved into Archers life, things turned for the better and I was never more happy.
But it wasn’t a easy ride for both of them, they found each other, hurt each other and found back again to each other. But that only proofed the sincerely of their feeling for each other.

The dynamic between Mallory and Archer was so freeing and made everything feel so light. They freed each other other from their dark places, wanted them to get better.

„I feel so light. Like maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.”
“There is.” I kissed the top of his head. “And if there isn’t, I’ll dig a way out for us. Because I’ll be wherever you are. Now and forever.“

I also have to say that Archers friend/Mallory’s son was absolutely the best. He was so supportive and never gave up on Archer. All he wanted for him was to be happy there was nothing more than what he wished for him.

But I have to say I have something that kind of bugged me. It’s just maybe I have expected too much in the end but as i started that book it really had me in its chokehold but as soon as the drama between Archer and Mallory was caused and went on, it took me out of the story. And I wasn’t really able to feel the same for it as I did in the beginning. But I guess that’s just a me probably here.
