This book was crazy! I really enjoyed moments between Johnny and Shannon, Johnny and Shannon’s brothers, and Johnny and Gibsie. I felt like there was way too much going on in these characters lives and some of the plot was just so sad to the point it was unnecessary. I’m enjoying this series for the characters relationships and I’m so excited to see what the other couples bring!

"'For keeps?' I breathed.
He kissed my shoulder. 'For keeps.'"

- page 487.

I experienced nearly every human emotion during this damn book. I did,  in fact, cry. I am SO glad shannon got her happy ending. seeing her truly, finally happy ... this was amazing. never thought I'd love a series about Irish teenage rugby players, but here I am!

also EDEL KAVANAGH... wife. #needthat

The first half was so long. The scenes with Johnny’s mom/parents were SO awkward. Really enjoyed the second half even though it was intense

Yet another emotionally taxing story. The darkness feels a little too real, not necessarily in a bad way, but it’s a lot.
