I love Joey’s story more than I love Shannon’s and that’s saying something because I loved book 1 and 2. The book is sad and tense but it’s so good because of the way it hits you emotionally.

Omg that ending? It literally ended out of no where, I was not ready. And then the acknowledgments, ouch. 

Now, the story. I think it was really well paced, it did not feel like I was reading 600+ pages. It flowed well and the story handled exploring and showing Aoife and Joey’s relationship developing really well. 

Starting with my love and the biggest reading heartbreak, Joey Lynch. I think his addiction and why he does what he does was shown well, though I do wish some parts were explored just a bit more. We jumped back and forth very quickly when there were times I wanted to stay with him for a bit. His growth, and fall backs, were really well-written, especially when he was learning to say sorry from Aoife and whenever he would argue back whenever confronted with his feelings. His actions made sense and felt realistic. I shockingly didn’t cry as much in this book, at least not as much in the first part, but I already know his second book will destroy me. 

Now, Aoife Malloy. She is exactly who she thinks she is. An icon, a legend. I honestly would have never put up with all that she did with Joey, but she’s such a realistically written teenager that you can’t love her. Every time she forces Joey to confront her and his feelings, it shows she’s exactly what he needs. 

Overall a really good story that sets the groundwork of their relationship and sends you into the next book really rooting for Joey (though we all know how that’s going to go and my heart already hurts). I love them both, the only negative I have with this book is a lack of Gibsie (jokes), though his little cameo was 10/10 :)

I liked Joey and Aoife’s story better than Shannon and Johnny.
