This book had me laughing, screaming and crying. The characters and friend group in this book mean so much. They all have their own problems but they are there for one another and make it work. The ending had me balling I could barely read the book. I also love how it takes place in Ireland.

Graphic: Child abuse, Domestic abuse, Death of parent

Moderate: Addiction, Bullying, Cursing, Alcohol

Just as the first book in the series Shannon’s chapter are difficult because of her home life. The chapter close to the end might be the most traumatic and it is so sad.
