If you’re looking for a beautifully written, heart wrenching, hilarious book . . . and want one hell of a book hangover, then do yourself a favour and read these pronto’ so, chloe announced she is taking an indefinite leave of absence which is 100% understandable, but yeah, that’s the update. maybe we’ll get Joey’s book in the future, maybe not, who knows, I’m just glad the author is putting herself first. you know i love Johnny and Shannon, they will forever be my precious babies, but Joey and Aoife are just on a different level. johnnyshannon had that cute and sweet first love, meanwhile joeyaoife’s love story is more gritty and raw. I love the glimpses of Joey and Aoife in B13 and K13, but actually seeing their story from their first meeting was so beautiful.

But John Kavanagh 🥵🥵🥵 I reached that age where it should be acceptable to crush on the son and the father at the same time LOL. If you read this book, you'll know. There is just something about successful lawyer, who are smart, kind and treat their family right that does something to me. Don't judge 🥵 😂 There is one scene where Daddy K is in the principal's office of Johnny's school and PLEASE the power play... okay you can get your pitchforks out of my face already... I kinda loved that Aoife has been emotionally cheating on Paul the entire time only to actually cheat on him with Joey later on in the book. 👹👹The first day of first year,” he explained quietly. “The first time I laid eyes on you, and the first time I understood what it meant to have my heart beating for someone outside of my family.” My heart squeezed so tight in my chest it was hard to breathe. “Joe.” I'm still not sure which rating to give this. (4 stars?, 3.5 stars?) I liked Johnny and Shannon's books more, but I still found some aspects I loved in this one as well. It felt different than the first two books. Mainly because it follows Aoife and Joey over multiple years.

I was petrified when I was at school and couldn’t bear to eat a thing because when I did vomit, and it was a frequent event, it was a direct response to the unbearable weight of the stress I was under. I was also small for my age; short, undeveloped, and skinny, which didn’t help my cause to ward off the rumors. URG... Johnny and Shannon were so adorable together. Their interactions are so damn awkward that it's sweet to watch. It's funny how a guy like Johnny, who has all these girls at his feet, fumbling with words and acting all awkward, because it's the first time that he has a crush on a girl.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. i could see where it was headed, joey getting sober for love/aoife and that is great and all but I wanted his siblings to play a bigger role in the motivation behind his decision. it would've been much more impactful imo Everyone had laughed and I think in that moment, I had hated the ones laughing at my pain more than the ones causing it. Saving 6 is a perfect title for this book: it encapsulates and encompasses its essence because the story's basically about Aoife saving Joey. Chasing after him. Making the first steps. Catering to his needs. Giving him the trust, support and love he is so tragically depraved of. Being there for him.

Honestly Tadgh was my favorite side character in this whole book. He is a comedian and gave this book a much needed comic relief. Where is the petition to give him his own book he is already so hot and confident and he is only like 10. 🤣 If you're looking for a beautifully written, heart wrenching, hilarious book . . . and want one hell of a book hangover, then do yourself a favour and read these pronto'

I know Redeeming 6 is going to be even more amazing since now it’s going to cross with B13/K13 timeline and I can’t wait to see Joey bonding with Mommy K or Gibsie getting on his nerves. 😭 I also hope that Aoife and Kevin will have a better sibling relationship. Honestly, I hope all the parents meet and embarrass their kids lmao.

Not even the shy new girl at Tommen College. The one with the sad eyes and hidden bruises. The one that distracts him like no one ever has. The way they kept lift each other up during darker times. Their bromance was everything. One of the best male-male friendships in literature I'm not lying. Tasha: Oh, yes. I finished Binding 13 saying out loud, “WTF kind of ending is that?!” I need book 2 ASAP! For what life has given her so far, Shannon is a kind, strong & most of all resilient girl. She endured everything as best as she could. She's a survivor. One of the best thing was seeing Shannon finding herself and knowing her strengths. I love the character development she went through.I only wished we had more secondary characters and that we didn’t have the hero beating innocent boys to punish the girls- yes, it happened again. I’m not saying they should go and punch the girls, but beating the brother/boyfriend for something they did not do is not the solution. We could also criticize that Joey and Aoife had more game when they were thirteen than people of my age… but let’s be honest: I highlighted every single scene. Johnny has been focused, single minded really about rugby for years and years. He is the overachiever. He has a big goal: play for Ireland. He has made his body a well-oiled machine. Feeding several times a day with healthy meals. Training all the time. No going out. No living like a normal teenager.
