I was avoiding this book like the plague, simply because I didn’t believe a romance book could keep me intrigued for 800 pages.

I was wrong.

Now I’m in way too deep

This book is so emotional but so good. Johnny and Shannon are so good for each other and so cute. I love that you get to be in both of their heads even if Shannon’s chapter can be difficult to get through because of what happened to her. I love this book so much all the characters are amazing and I love their group of friends.

The more heavier topics come from Shannon’s point of view because of her home life and it can be difficult at times so keep that in mind.

Definitely check trigger warnings before reading this series, really intense and definitely not for the faint of heart. Very well written with the topics it goes over, my heart hurts for joey, Shannon and her other brothers. My heart also hurts for Johnny because he cares so damn much. I finished this book in a day (24hrs with breaks in between some intense scenes), it had me going through so many emotions. Silent screaming, giggling, smiling, and worst of all crying. Expect to cry, even just a little. 

These characters deserve the world's biggest hug 🫂
