This book destroyed me, literally crushed my heart, my soul, i have no more tears left. I cried throughout 50% of the book. The beginning, the ending… it was almost too much to take and i‘m happy it‘s over, for now. I have to wait to read joey‘s story because i know it will hurt even more.
When you want to read something REALLY emotional, read this series!
Johnny, Joey, Gibsie, the kravanaghs and Shanen are all my heroes. They had all so much character, soul, growth.
I cried so hard for the lynch-boys, especially for Baby sean. He was the sweetest. After crying ‚oe’ when joey left? I was sobbing so hard. Even when i only think about it…
These two books were almost too much for me, yeah, in a good way but also in a sad, painful way…
When i can feel the characters and i can see through their eyes i can feel their pain. And in these books? I felt EVERYTHING!
I have to read something ‚soft‘ and funny after this to recover. Because my heart hurt a lot after this!
