Wow. I was completely blown away by book 1 in the Boys Of Tommen series. 100% worth the hype! For such a large book, it certainly did not feel that way. I read until I couldn’t keep my eyes open, napped for a couple of hours and then finished the book in the middle of the night.
I was gripped completely from start to finish, so emotionally wrapped up in every character’s journey. There really isn’t a character I don’t feel invested in. Chloe Walsh writes characters who feel incredibly real. The emotions she brought out of me were intense. **Parts of Binding 13 are hard to read so I advise you to check trigger warnings before reading if that concerns you**
While this is only part 1 of Johnny and Shannon’s story, I already feel like they’re one of my all time favourite book couples. This is the slowest slow burn, and watching them form a deep connection, supporting one another as friends while they navigate their personal struggles is perfection.
Needless to say, I’ve already picked up book 2. So long TBR list, I hardly knew you🤷🏻♀️
Thanks to @elisasreadingjournal for buddy reading with me, venting to you through this one was
essential!😅

What the actual fuck?
I might as well have shouted, love me, fucking love me at the girl.
I felt like a bleeding eejit.”
Wow, I am surprised I finished the book in two days.
The size of it intimidates me, and I am not going to lie.
It's a huge book, and before I started it, I heard it was a slow burn.
But it wasn't really a slow burn.
Sure, the characters' plotlines and storylines were lengthy, and I enjoyed it.
The story and flow seem more natural and genuine with the friendship bonds and feelings and slowly learning of their character and story.
I enjoyed the balance of the 2 POVs, with the involvement of their friends, families and, of course, "villains."
Over time, while we see the friendship bond between Johnny and Shannon, we then learn of their struggles in their own life.
It's hard to read on some of them (please read trigger warnings), but it was an important topic to speak and read up on.
The ending definitely broke me, and I am nervous and excited to continue the read.
“I just wanted her. For keeps.”
