There’s one particular scene in this book - no spoilers but you’ll know it when you read it - which had me gasping out loud into void of my bedroom.
Johnny is a cinnamon roll MMC who is blind with love and makes rash decisions about Shannon - some of them being truly life-changing. We see a lot of change in Shannon’s character too. She slowly becomes more reckless, independent and feels completely secure in her relationship with Johnny, knowing he’s proved his trust and loyalty within this book and the last.
We get to know side characters more deeply and get an insight into their personalities and back stories. We learn more about Gibsie, Claire, Lizzie and Hughie, and we interact a lot more with Shannon’s brothers’ too.
Again, this book (similar to Binding 13) explores extremely dark, serious topics so please keep that in mind before starting.
I’m sad Johnny and Shannon’s story is over, but looking forward to starting Saving 6!

I honestly don’t get how this is so highly rated, like did we read the same book? Am I taking crazy pills? I also feel like this series is beyond YA for some of the content (it’s in the (adult) Romance section at my bookstore) but it’s also about literal children so the amount of adults raving and rabid for these books sleeves me tf out. Like, who are these for? IDK but it ain’t me.
