This was very cute. I actually love a quiet love story/characters so this was realistic and peaceful without being boring.

Shay was mute after a surgery gone wrong as a child. Maggie has a solitary life after a bad childhood, but finds herself lonely. They know each other from the bus and eventually strike up a friendship and relationship.

They fit together very well, and I thought they complimented each other. Shay was able to have Maggie open up, and Maggie gave Shay more confidence and brought some interests back into his life, like art.

I like how they did their best to communicate with each other and never let that deter them.

The thing that kept it a higher rating for me was the ex stuff. Shay’s ex was mentioned a little too much for my taste. Now this is totally a me thing. Shay wasn’t hung up on her, but she cheated on him and she does pop up once and also cause some trust issues/a few other problems. I just didn’t like that it caused insecurity for Maggie, who had never been in love, and Shay was in love in the past and just under a year ago.

Thankfully he says what he feels for Maggie is more. And he does take care of her in so many ways.

So overall, it was a very sweet read. Perhaps a little repetitive/in their heads at the beginning, but I got used to it and was happy they got a happy ending!
