Oops I’m responsible for my algorithm, and I messed myself up with this one…

This book could’ve easily been half the length with a better editor: quite a few chapters were regurgitated scenes that I’ve just read but done in another supporting character’s POV. The adults in here suck, and a lot (if not all) of their decisions were implausible. CPS should’ve been called on all of them.

Tedious reading.

Bonus 0.25⭐️ because I actually got to learn a bit about rugby 🏉

Wow. Binding 13 was unlike anything I’ve read before - lots of teen angst, slow burn, and slightly cringe moments but it was so. Good. 

I could’ve done with like 150 less pages, and Shannon at points was a little too damsel-in-distress for me, but that’s what gave the book its charm. Rude of Chloe Walsh to end it on that much of a cliff hanger (especially when I finished reading it at 1:12am on a work night) but I can tell that I’m already going to fly through the rest of this series.

Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen Book 1)
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the first book in this duology/series and I give it infinity stars. It is a fairly long book, but it had me in a chokehold after the first 50-70 pages until the very end. I don't want to say to much regarding the plot so as not to give spoilers, but it is medium to fast paced and has you on the edge of your seat until the very end. And the emotions this book provokes...anxiety, worry, heartbreak, hopefulness, young love... It runs the gambit! I even teared up during this read, and I never cry in books. Johnny and Shannon are hands down one of my new favorite book couples. What these two go through and endure...I have no words. They are simply everything.

***Please note there is mature content and triggers in this book, and overall this is a pretty emotionally heavy book.
