Let’s take a little look inside of Arrows through Archer by Nash Summers.
This story spent way too long on my TBR, but wow am I happy that I finally picked it up a few weeks ago! It was such a beautiful and heartbreaking story, with some fantastic slow burn and second chance.
Also, everyone should have a friend like Danny.
How it begins…
One morning I woke, but the two halves of my heart did not.
Tropes
- age gap
- hurt / comfort
- best friend’s father
- sexual discovery
- second chance
- slow burn
“You’re like a brother to me, Archer. You’re not perfect, but no one is. And if I met a billion people on this planet, I’d still choose you. You and your silent fucking depression-you and your quiet heart and your fear of living.”
What to expect
- lonely and hurting MCs
- grief and loss
- a little bit of forced proximity
- pining
- all the feels
- a story spanning years
- slow burn with low steam
“We can’t keep loving ghosts, Mallory.” And for the last time, his eyes met mine.
“It’s not that easy, Archer.”
“Well, I guess we’re both about to find out if it’s any easier loving one more.”
