Keeping 13 (Boys of Tommen Book 2)
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is the second book in this duology/series and it was everything we needed and more in the conclusion of Johnny and Shannon's story. Again, it is a fairly long book, but it definitely kept my interest! It had a couple of slower parts, but I feel like they only added to the anticipation of what was to come. Just like book 1, this book elicited a pretty heavy emotional response which kept me engaged for the entirety of the novel. One scene in particular had my anxiety so ramped I couldn't read fast enough. I experienced every emotion reading this book! I did tear up again during this read, which is highly unusual for me. Johnny and Shannon remain one of my new favorite book couples. I thought what these two went through in the first book was rough, but the second book...again no words! My stance remains...they are simply everything. I can't wait to read the remaining novels in the series.
***Please note there is mature content and triggers in this book, and overall this is a pretty emotionally heavy book.

I absolutely loved this book. It had me laughing and then it had me crying. I was so frustrated at times for the characters. I just wanted things to work out for them. The relationships between all of the characters were genuine and heartfelt. Gibsie and Mammy K might be two of my favourite book characters ever. I’m so happy with how this ended for Johnny and Shannon and I can’t wait to read more!

I didn't think it could get any better than Binding 13 but it totally did!
My emotions have been in turmoil reading this book. I was in deep from the start! Willing everyone to listen to Johnny and help him save Shannon. I have never cried so hard at a book before. It's a credit to the writer that I felt so strongly for these characters and everything they've gone through!
I am so in love with all of the characters and I know this is a book series that I won't be able to stop reading.
