Okey so, I definitely felt like I liked the first one more, there were parts that I felt repetitive (like Shannon and Johnny getting constantly busted by his parents) but still, man, all of the feels. I love Shannon and Johnny and how they always try to communicate.
Once again, Gibsie and Claire have my whole heart (seriously I NEED their book, I'm dying for crumbs of their relationship AND I NEED THEIR PAST), but also Joey and Aoife and all of the Lynch little brothers. What a great cast.
I love this series

This book is heartwarming, heartbreaking and yet ridiculously funny. One moment my eyes filled with tears, and the next I was laughing out loud. You don't get a minute of peace.
There are so many things that I loved about this book, that I could talk for hours. But here I'm going to focus only on two of them:
1- Johnny, Gibsie & Mammy K's comedy show
All three of them are wonderful characters who give soul and life to this story. But everytime that they had a scene together it was pure magic. Incredibly fun. I would read an entire book about Edel Kavanagh (aka Mammy K) any day of the year. And Johnny + Gibsie relationship is what bromance is all about.
2- Joey Lynch, my wounded and tormented hero
I don't know, but I'm honestly heartbroken by Joey's suffering. He has a fierce devotion to his siblings and such an unfair load of responsibility on his shoulders that at one point I stoped worring so much about Johnny and Shannon, and all I could think about was him.
I need someone to save him.
Joey's book is not just the only thing that I want, but also the only thing that I need (and Gibsie's too, of course).
I love this book like a crazy fucking amount. And these characters can bulldoze in my life at any time.
