Saving 6 by Chloe Walsh
3.0

🎖️ Mid 3 Stars

DESCRIPTION

He's a boy who's lost. She's girl who might just be the home he's never had. 

The second born son in a broken marriage, Joey Lynch has spent a lifetime picking up the pieces of a family unravelling. When his older brother Darren skips town, twelve-year-old Joey finds himself thrown into the role of protector to his younger siblings and mother. 

Plagued by self-loathing, and furious with the world, he grapples with teenage life and his unwavering sense of duty to his family, while balancing precariously close to a life of addiction that threatens to swallow him whole. 

The only light in his sea of darkness is his boss's firecracker of a daughter who refuses to back down. A girl who just so happens to be his classmate. 

Aoife Molloy has never been backwards in coming forward. Her bubbly and self-assured nature has never led her astray. Until her first day of secondary school when she collides with a hot-headed boy who sparks a burning curiosity inside of her that only grows stronger by the day. 

Falling into a complicated friendship with her father's apprentice, Aoife works to unravel the secrets around Joey Lynch's life,  while he desperately fights to keep her out.

REVIEW

★★★☆☆

I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the 13 duo, but it was still a good read. 

I liked how the book provided more insight into Joey and Aoife’s characters. 

This book tackles some dark themes and therefore is not suitable for younger readers.
