Oh my lord, this series has my entire heart and soul. I am doing a buddy read with my friend for this series and I’m actually grateful I have someone to share the highs and lows with, because I don’t think I could’ve coped alone!

There’s one particular scene in this book - no spoilers but you’ll know it when you read it - which had me gasping out loud into void of my bedroom.

Johnny is a cinnamon roll MMC who is blind with love and makes rash decisions about Shannon - some of them being truly life-changing. We see a lot of change in Shannon’s character too. She slowly becomes more reckless, independent and feels completely secure in her relationship with Johnny, knowing he’s proved his trust and loyalty within this book and the last. 

We get to know side characters more deeply and get an insight into their personalities and back stories. We learn more about Gibsie, Claire, Lizzie and Hughie, and we interact a lot more with Shannon’s brothers’ too. 

Again, this book (similar to Binding 13) explores extremely dark, serious topics so please keep that in mind before starting. 

I’m sad Johnny and Shannon’s story is over, but looking forward to starting Saving 6!

Oh my God I just fell in love. This is a six star read and my new favorite book. I am so sad to leave behind this beautiful story of Johnny and Shannon but at the same time I'm excited to get to know the other stories and fall in love with them the same as I did with this one. But this couple will always have a special place in my heart.
