Oh my god SHANNON!!! The growth this girl has had brought me to tears it was so great to read. She deserves the world and Johnny is willing to give it to her! He works so hard for himself and those he loves it’s so genuine. 

I really enjoyed this book a lot and all of the characters have a piece of my heart! Gibsie & Claire, Mammy K, the younger brothers, AOIFE!!! I enjoyed seeing more from the side characters and the set up for Joey’s books. 

I think the second half of this book was better than the first half, and I think this one could’ve been a tiny bit shorter but I loved everything about Shannon & Johnny and this universe!!!
