Keeping 13 by Chloe Walsh

emotional funny tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

Did I stay up until 4am just to finish this book? yes absolutely and it was worth every minute. I can just tell this entire series is going to be my Roman Empire. The emotional journey this book takes you on is worth it - I laughed and cried in equal measure and I care about these characters so much. Johnny and Shannon have such a beautiful journey. Joey breaks my heart and I am not ready for his POV and Aiofe’s I know I will sob. Gibsie remains my favorite side character and I’m glad I got to learn more about him - can’t wait for his book. I also adore Claire and Lizzie - Claire is a ball of sunshine and Lizzie is misunderstood. Overall loved these characters, loved the journey, and this series is for keeps for me 🥹
