God, i have never cried that bad because of a book before. I had to stop and compose myself several times. Johnny Kavanagh and Shannon Lynch have my entire heart, and the friendships in this book are unbeatable. You will scream, cry, laugh and smile till your cheeks hurt 💕

Moderate: Sexual content

Description (in brief) : Situations continue after THAT cliffhanger in the first book. Shannon's relationship with Johnny grows after recent developments, and everything seems to be on the mend. However, at home, it's a different story. Arguments ensue, and it's looking like things will never get better. There's only so much time before things bend and break, and after a truly terrifying situation which puts lives at risk, Shannon's world is ripped apart.
