I wanted to love this…but I didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I like Johnny and Shannon’s story. I’m a sucker for the guy saving a girl from an abusive situation. And overall the storyline is phenomenal…but the writing…not so much.

I feel like this story dragged on sooooo long. Like there isn’t a need for it to be so long. Lots of filler information and unnecessary scenes. I think if the book would’ve been shorter and more concise I would’ve loved it.

I think another thing that threw me off was the fact these kids are in high school yet Johnny seems like he’s more college-aged and Shannon is made out to be this tiny little girl.

Unfortunately the writing and length made me no want tolerate other stories. I would eventually like to read Joey and Aoife’s, but I know It’ll break me if I can get through it.

Phenomenal

I loved this book so much! I immediately jumped into this one after reading binding 13 and the story gets so intense! I love when I book can make me laugh, cry, and get enraged between chapters. I highly recommend!
