I just want to thank Chloe Walsh for creating these characters and their stories because they are forever imprinted on my soul. One of my all time favourite found families. If you want a series that will take you from laughing to crying and everything in between, pick Boys Of Tommen up. Johnny and Shannon forever, absolute soulmates🫶🏼

I can’t wait to continue the series, but due to the intensity of emotions these books brought out, I think I’ll take a little break before reading Saving 6. I’m giving this one 4.5 stars because the pacing was a bit off for me. The first half felt slow after the events of the previous book, then it got really exciting for a period and then slowed down again toward the end. Still a great read, but not quite as great for me as Binding 13. One of my top series hands down.

I never know what to expect with book 2 in a series or duology, but this did not disappoint.   Every part felt vital to the story, the characters didn't suddenly morph into somebody different, and the dark subject matter was once again handled beautifully. 

And honestly, can Mrs. K be the MVP of this story?  She is such a wonderful character and I love the humor she provides. 

Reading the conclusion of these two was so satisfying.  The highs and lows we all so well written.

And Johnny is seriously now one of my favorite MMCs ever.

Such a great conclusion, fantastic writing, a plot that never gets dull, and I do so love a HEA.

very much aware that reading all of this in less than 12 hours is not normal behaviour...
i really enjoyed this, the found family is really shaping up now and i loved the journey i got taken on as a reader.
one thing i do really enjoy is gibsie and johnnys friendship they remind me of atyd james and sirisu (the blueprint iykyk)
