I don’t even know where to start, this book made me feel all kinds of emotions. It’s been so long since a book made me cry so freakin hard. I missed that feeling. god i’m begging you be merciful for once and give this boy some happiness and one moment of peace. c'mon that's really not that much to ask for. 😭😭😭

I thought this read was going to be VERY PAINFUL (you know, because of all Joey and Aoife's issues from Binding 13, Keeping 13), which it was 😭 Was Paul a better option? No. If Joey's self-sacrifice doesn't come to fruition or serves its purpose, obviously, why does he insist on not pursuing the girl he loves and cares so much about, the only light he has in his life? Like damn if she's stupid enough to let Paul walk all over her and get away with it, Joey might as well have dropped the years long "friendship" bullshit where they flirt, banter and want one another like crazy. 👀 Much as I love Joey as a character, he's simply not my type of hero. Every few seconds my vision went blank and I knew that meant I must be drifting in and out of consciousness. I also knew that this was a bad sign, alerting me to the fact that he had hurt me worse than before. 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.”A mixture of both, I suspected, though it was hard to form coherent thoughts anymore so I couldn’t be sure. Well, we feel the same about you,’ Tadhg growled, hand shaking on my shoulder as he stared at our father. ‘None of us want you!’ Easiest 5 I’ve given to a book in such a long time. Was this book long? Yes. Would I have changed anything? Absolutely not. Every single part of this book was utter perfection. I felt a hand clamp gently down on my shoulder then, startling me, and causing me to groan in pain. "It's okay," Tadhg whispered, keeping his hand on my shoulder. "I'm here."

Joey : can't wait to read about him cause I love him so much and I know his story is going to break my heart but I'll ask for more and more. Not to mention that the drama with Paul didn't serve what it was supposed to serve, in my humble opinion ——> I knew that even though my younger brothers were praying for a resolution, this was going to be an anti-climactic moment. Stop.’ A small cry tore from Ollie’s throat as he clutched Joey’s leg. ‘Make him stop,’ he sobbed, clinging to our brother like he held all the answers. ‘Please.’Saving 6 was not like I expected it was going to be-I didn’t realize they had changed the blurb, so I went thinking it was a second-chance romance with pregnancy trope-, yet it met my very high expectations. I read this baby in two sittings and have so many highlights I could write another full-length novel with them. In the beginning I missed Shannon and Johnny 😔 (can you blame me? they are my OG babies) but from Joey and Aoife's meet-cute to their personalities to their character growths... Chloe Walsh, the story just pierced my heart and then soothed it all at once 😩 I could feel how the love of Aoife was saving Joey and not in a you-are-my-personal-rehab kinda way and it was too much for me 😭 I’m still the happiest person for having the honor of meeting Johnny and Shannon and their world 🥰✨ If they look as good on you as that yellow thong you’re wearing, then I’m going to have to agree,” he replied, gesturing to the perfect view up my skirt that I had unintentionally given him.

I'm so drawn to stellar characters that have their flaws and lapses in judgment. Being imperfect is part of being alive, and imperfections makes a character look more complex and interesting. We never wanted you,’ Dad continued to torment me with his words. ‘Did ya know that? Your mother left you for a week in the hospital, debating whether or not to give you up until the guilt got the better of her. But I never changed my mind. I couldn’t even stand the sight of you, let alone love you.’

The sounds of my little brothers’ sobs and sniffles as they huddled behind Joey were almost too much to bear. He's going to get better," Darren told them. "You are. You can do this, Joey Lynch. You're the strongest, most headstrong person I've ever known in my life." I knew she was afraid of him, I understood what it felt like to be petrified of the man in our kitchen, but she was the grown up. She was supposed to be the adult, the mother, the protector, not the eighteen-year-old boy whose shoulders that role had fallen onto. You can’t throw him out…’ Mam’s words drifted away as she stared up in pure, unadulterated fear at the man she had married. ‘Please.’ Tears dripped down her pale cheeks. ‘He’s my son –’ Three words that should have held more meaning and importance than any other question I’d ever heard. Problem was, I knew in my heart that whatever answer was given, whatever lie she told herself, and us, the end result would be the same.

Why would she let that kind of treatment from Paul slide when she doesn't even love the guy and can find a more fitting candidate for her purposes? 👀 Honestly, Paul's money and looks aren't worth the trouble, and if she only dated him to goad Joey into acting out, our girl failed miserably because throughout the years Joey's involvement in her affairs is limited to protecting her from Paul's antics from time to time, not the long-awaited proposal to be his girlfriend. 💀 Joey is seriously one of the purest souls. Now, I mean, looking at the drugs and the mask he puts on, anyone just looking at him would be thinking "what tf are you saying girl?" but TRUST ME that boy is nothing but good. I could feel the warmth of two hands against my face and reveled in the gentle touch. ‘Can you hear me?’ Joey’s voice filled my ears. ‘I’m going to get you out of here, okay?’ As much as I missed all my precious side characters (one scene of Gibsie got me all over the place), Aoife and Joey were more than capable of carrying this book on their own!! I love them so freakin much.

Joey, if you just calm down for a moment –’ Mam began to say, but my brother didn’t let her finish.
