Binding 13 by Chloe Walsh

5.0

Where do I even begin? This book has made me feel all the feels. Shannon is a girl with the absolute purest of hearts. She cares so deeply about her siblings but she’s so afraid to live life and find her own happiness. Despite everything Shannon has gone through in her short life, her kind and caring heart doesn’t go unnoticed. Now Johnny has a heart of gold. He gives “touch her and die” vibes but for teenagers. He is the ultimate protector. He has the sense that Shannon needs protecting because no one else will do it. He sees Shannon for who she is and not what she is. I think my favorite character though honestly is Gibsey. Him and Johnny have the perfect bromance. They have each other’s backs no matter what. I’m not typically one to read stories when the main characters are teens, but this one worked for me. It made me want to immediately pick up keeping 13.
