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.”
