Not to say Saving 6 didn’t have also good support characters like Aoife’s parents and her best friend, but after meeting the Kavanagh family, Aoife’s dysfunctional family just didn’t hit the same. I really loved Joey and Tony’s (Aoife’s dad) bromance tho that was cute. How can I not like the man, one of the few, who took a chance on Joey and gave him a job. My eyes have been hurting me for a while. They were burning and felt so freakin dry. The doctor said that it’s nth serious just eye dryness from the weather or whatever and gave me eye drops to lubricate it. The thing is they’ve been so freakin dry, there’s no moisture in them. No water. I’ve been so physically incapable of shedding a tear. Imagine my surprise and everyone else around me when they saw me being a walking sobbing mess. I’ve been crying nonstop for like two days. You don’t understand, I cried y’all. I CRIED. So long story short; this book has broken my heart but healed my eyes condition. That hell born twin called her a slut and called her baby daddy a lowlife druggie. He was a big menace and how she mended that relationship with him is something i will never know. I think this baby will be good for him - a great motive to stay clean and make a better life for himself. okay lastly i just want to talk ab joeylizzie MY LOVES. their friendship means the world to me. it was the best thing we got from this book imo. she saved his life and i never want anyone to talk down on her ever again. we riot at dawn if anyone talks shit ab her. but them being friends is something i never knew i needed 🫠🫶🏼

The book is well written, it has great, fleshed-out characters and vivid scenes that almost seem to have a free will of their own and picture themselves inside your head as you go through the text. It’s not normal how much I love these siblings. All the Lynch siblings have my heart and soul for different reasons. Joey is my warrior and protector of the family, Shannon is my quiet survivor, Tadhg is my strong rebel, Ollie is my sunshine optimist and Sean is just my little baby. 😩The one star is solely for Edel, John, Joey, Johnny, Gibsie, Shannon, Claire, Lizzie, Hughie, Feely, Tadgh, Ollie and Sean. the plot/pacing? meh. this is where the book lost me bc the first half was constant drama upon drama and it was honestly getting to a point where i got tired. fortunately, i started liking it more around 73% until the end and the fact that i at least enjoyed some parts of the book is the reason my rating is how it is. this book had its really good moments (even during the first half where most of the shit annoyed me) though, especially moments between certain characters (joey/tony, aoife/trish, edel/joey - to name a few). Pre-birth Aoife didn’t seem invested in the baby in a motherly, more in a way to keep Joey around because she still prioritised Joey over the baby. There were like two scenes where she said she felt protective. “Are you in labor?” “Depends, are you really here?” – how was she going to delay the labour for Joey? Even in the epilogue she just hands him over to Shannon Edel and John’s relationship has me so intrigued because the snippets of their relationship have been so good Joey was messed up. I just can’t put myself in his place. Carrying the weight of the world. Always the protector. He couldn’t catch a break. It was a hit after a hit with him. He was breaking my heart. Hearing his thoughts was messing with my head so bad. I just wanted to hug him and protect him from the whole world. I love him.

Aoife was Aoife. She is a fighter. She didn’t give up on Joey when everyone gave up on him. She was his protector with only the thought of him on her mind. When no one bothered to think or care about him, she had to take that job! Nobody would’ve been able to handle what that girl had to handle. The way she reacted to everything? It was real! It didn’t bother or annoy me because that’s just naturally her. I loved her vanity. I loved the way she loved and cared about Joey. I loved her.She reminds me of one of those girls who don’t have any other purpose in life than being there Boy friends GF. And is The type of person who got pregnant on purpose to trap joey in being with him forever. bc are girl is that insecure. Them loving on Joey is so precious. They treat him like an equal, as someone who raised his siblings. Edel is so physically affectionate, and I loved that John told her to rein it in because Joey was uncomfortable. Joey trusting John and Edel was everything because trust doesn’t come easy to him. Joey and Edel by the grave was so emotional and even though Joey may not think of Edel as a mother, I love that he lets her in. Him showing Edel and John the flowers he planted was small but so cute. And Aoife. The way I hated her in this one 😭. The way she would constantly judge Joey, make him hate himself because of her being on and off with him, and constantly requiring his attention despite knowing he had responsibilities was unfair. It was so cruel to him. She managed to make every single moment that she had no right to comment on about herself. The ending of this book was so unbelievably unfair to Joey, and just straight-up convenient for Aoife. My girl Aoife on the another hand. .. yeah my feelings can be summed up by me saying This one horrible thing abt her.

Joey for ALL his life wanted to get out of his house and live his life and he VOICED it which was absolutely something i agree with. We have to trudge through ALL the events on B13&K13 in great detail, dragging through other points in the beginning that could have been easily skipped over. I loved getting to see them happy in the beginning, but at the same time I would have preferred if that was sorta skimmed over and told so we could seen them happy in the end. You know, when they would STAY happy??

Definition of save

Because how dare joey take and get into drugs after a very traumatic experience and how dare he hide and try and seek the only comfort known to him. But don’t ever think that I don’t have feelings,” he said, and then pressed a kiss to my mouth. “Because the only time that I allow myself to feel anything is when I’m with you.” Find yourself someone who'll love you as much as Aoife loves Joey, and you'll be saved and redeemed and saved and redeemed 💔 It is so..... saddening how Joey could never stop loving his mother. She haunted this little child. Joey's father wanted to name him Theodor after himself, but Joey's great-grandfather convinced him to instead name him Joseph.
