Just here for the boys if tommen chapters Omf i loved every one.

HughieLizzie

╰┈➤ ❝ "Please don’t ever stop not hating me."
"Stop not hating you?" I replied, forcing myself not to lean into her touch when her nose brushed mine. Keeping perfectly still, I whispered, "I've never hated you, Lizzie, and I never will." ❞

Idc idc I need HughieLizzie like I need my next breath. I knew they were gonna be a thing since the start but damnnn I’m actually so invested after this short snippet.

GibsieClaire

╰┈➤ ❝ "Why do you do it, Gerard?"
"Do what?"
"Act like a clown when you're around everyone else, but not when you're alone with me?"
"Why don't you call me Gibsie?" came his immediate response.
I scrunched my nose up in disgust. "Because you're not Gibsie to me, Gerard."
"Exactly." Shrugging, he unfolded his arms from behind his head and reached a hand out to me. "Some things just make sense, Claire."
My heart leapt in my chest. "Like us?"
"Yeah." He smiled. "Like you and me." ❞

My precious, my otp, my only sunshine couple <333
I need their happy ever after rfn 🔪

JohnnyShannon

╰┈➤ ❝ "Where are you going?" I called after him, smothering a laugh with my hand. "Johnny?"
"To buy a bleeding ring," he called over his shoulder. "And maybe hide the knives because I'm not going to have a dick for much longer, baby!" ❞

Johnny is the cutest most adorable bulldozer on this planet, it’s true 🤭

JoeyAeoife

╰┈➤ ❝ "You know… I think I could see myself loving you." He kissed me again, softer this time. "Not right now… but I might… someday."
"That's really good to know." Cupping his jaw roughly between my fingers, I dragged his lips to mine and kissed him hard. "Because I think I could love you back." ❞

OMFFFF I was actually really scared to start their books but after having tasted these crumbs??? I’m suddenly ravenous. Watch me gobble their books like no tomorrow.

This was basically a smut novella for her popular characters and I couldn’t have asked for anything more 👏🏻 I’m so glad I read this because I was complaining about missing Claire and Gibsie’s first kiss and this includes that 🥰 As for Lizzie, I’M SORRY but I can’t hate her.

This is the fourth book I’m trying in 24 hours, this slump has me fighting for my life. Joey and Aofie I missed you 🥹

[Penny]

the way i'm here just for joey and aoife's crumbs

"We need to stop this shit," he growled against my lips when my moans turned to screams.
"Wh-what shit?" I cried out.
"This," he grunted. "Us. Fucking. It's getting confusing."
"Don't you dare stop," I hissed, rocking my hips wildly against him.
"Don’t worry." I felt his teeth on the lobe of my ear, dragging the flesh into his mouth with a sharp tug. "Couldn't if I wanted to."

"You know…" His lips scorched a burning trail from my neck to the tips of my straining breasts. "I think I could see myself loving you." He kissed me again, softer this time. "Not right now… but I might… someday."
"That's really good to know." Cupping his jaw roughly between my fingers, I dragged his lips to mine and kissed him hard. "Because I think I could love you back."

In all seriousness I would not know about this book if I didn’t see a TikTok about it so forever grateful for the girlie that posted about it. I did skip the carter kids chapters because I haven’t read them yet.

CLAIRE AND GIBSIEEE AHHHH. Reading them has made me so excited for their book!! I need them!!!

I want to hug Lizzie so so bad. I love her so much, my poor girl☹️.

Anyways this was a quick one, JOHNNY&SHANNON FOREVA!!!

Shan and Johnny-

Fuck rugby. Fuck school. In this moment, the sky could fall down around me, and I wouldn’t leave her. I didn’t want to be anywhere else.

I was so disgustingly in love with this girl that I was fairly sure that nobody on the bleeding planet had ever experienced the emotions that coursed through my heart when she was near me.

The connection we had ran deeper than words could begin to depict. It might have taken us awhile to figure it out, but once we had, I trusted that it would be the love of a lifetime–that he would be the love of my lifetime.

Johnny Kavanagh was the boy I was supposed to be with. I had never been more sure of anything in my life. He was the other half of me. And I loved him. I loved him with everything I had in me.

Aoife and Joey-

"You know…" His lips scorched a burning trail from my neck to the tips of my straining breasts. "I think I could see myself loving you." He kissed me again, softer this time. "Not right now… but I might… someday." "That's really good to know." Cupping his jaw roughly between my fingers, I dragged his lips to mine and kissed him hard. "Because I think I could love you back."

Claire and gibsie-

"Some things just make sense, Claire." My heart leapt in my chest. "Like us?" "Yeah." He smiled. "Like you and me."

"Can I tell you something?" I nodded eagerly. "You can tell me anything, Gerard." "You're my favorite person in the world." My eyes widened in surprise. "I am?" "Yeah, you are." "Even more than your mam?" "Even more than Mam." "And Brian?" "Definitely more than Brian."

"Can I tell you something else?" Another wide-eyed nod. "I need you to not go away…" His hand tightened around mine. "Like ever, Claire." "Why?" "You're the only person who makes it stop." He swallowed deeper and ducked his head. "The noise in my head."

Edit: Joey and Aoife scene was a dream! Which means maybe Hughie and Lizzie was a dream too and there was no cheating?? “Seven sleepless nights”!


—————————

Only read this for the boys of tommen, and now I really need all of the other books.

I’m officially obsessed with Joey/Aoife, and Claire/Gibsie.

I hated Hughie cheating on Katie, but I am curious about what will happen between the four of them (Katie, Hughie, Lizzie and Feely) .

⤿ this was very very cute other than hughieliz legitimately cheating in this book, like wrap it up brother.

“some things just make sense, claire.”
my heart leapt in my chest. “like us?”
"yeah, like you and me.“

“can i tell you something?”
“you can tell me anything, gerard.”
“you’re my favorite person in the world.”

“i need you to not go away…like ever, claire.”
you’re the only person who makes it stop, the noise in my head.”

“i won’t ever leave you.”
“i’m going to hold you to that, claire-bear.”

·····

“it was for you,”
“what was?” “the other bottle.”
“of beer?”
“yeah. saw you walk in and i was…glad.” fuck. my heart.

“he’s special, something deep inside of me hissed. keep him.“

“i think i could see myself loving you.” he kissed me again, softer this time. “not right now… but i might.. someday.”

“she would never know how fucking relieved i felt when i saw her in the club tonight, or how badly i needed to be here instead of home right now.“

·····

“well, i only had eyes for 13. the team captain. the irish international. the boy wonder himself.
jonathon kavanagh. my johnny.“

“you feel like coming home.” “you are home, johnny.”

“i’ll always come back to you, shannon like the river. it’s all about you, baby.”

“it was an extraordinary feeling, to be this in love having lived so little of life. it didn’t matter though. i had peaked with him. never would i stray or wander.“

“johnny kavanagh was the boy i was supposed to be with. i had never been more sure of anything in my life.“

“i was so disgustingly in love with this girl that i was fairly sure that nobody on the bleeding planet had ever experienced the emotions that coursed through my heart when she was near me.”

“my happiness was tied to hers. it didn’t matter how far i went with the rugby, or how successful i became, if shannon wasn’t happy then neither was i.“

I only read the BOT chapters :)

This feels weird. I just finished Releasing 10 and not once did I think that in the next books we’d see Hughie cheating on Katie with Lizzie. It feels out of character for him, and I’m kind of disappointed. I mean, that was literally the whole reason he broke up with Lizzie in the first place. So this really doesn’t make any sense after reading R10. I'm not sure if this was their first time cheating I guess we'll find out in the future. But nonetheless, I still love Liz and Hugh with all my heart 🤍

And I absolutely loved reading about the other couples again too <3

[Pinky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Trigger Warnings:Self-harm (girl cuts herself), suicide ideation, cheating, death of loved one, sexual assault, clubbing underage, drugs, alcoholic

I only read this for the snippets of the Boys of Tommen series and skipped the other chapters, so my rating is only for the BoT chapters. If you haven’t read it, please check it out. The first book is Binding 13 and the second is Keeping 13. It is about Shannon who was bullied at her previous school, her mom worked hard to get her into the prestigious private school named Tommen College. She catches the eye of a famous rugby player, Johnny, who can’t take his mind off Shan. But Shan wants to live a quiet life and avoid getting bullied again, being with Johnny will do the opposite.

Now for spoilers


🌞Gibsie and Claire🐻

“Why do you do it, Gerard?"
"Do what?"
"Act like a clown when you're around everyone else, but not when you're alone with me?"
"Why don't you call me Gibsie?" came his immediate response.
I scrunched my nose up in disgust. "Because you're not Gibsie to me, Gerard."
"Exactly." Shrugging, he unfolded his arms from behind his head and reached a hand out to me. "Some things just make sense, Claire."
My heart leapt in my chest. "Like us?"
"Yeah." He smiled. "Like you and me.”

Claire and Gibsie are playing spin the bottle with friends, Johnny is a new kid and already landed a buncha kisses, he looks bored and annoyed. Claire was 11 and everyone else was 13, they were all going to Tommen. She had a crush on Gibs back then, glad that Johnny had the attention of the girls instead of Gibsie. Lizzie was there as well and was pissed she had to kiss Hughie. The bottle landed on Gibsie and everyone told Claire she didn’t have to do it but she was happy. Gibsie takes Claire away since he didn’t want people to watch and they hung out on the field, Gibsie said whatever they did was for themselves only and no one should watch. Claire asks him why he acts like a clown around others but not her and he asks why she doesn’t call him Gibsie. She says it’s weird and he says they make sense, how he needs her in his life because she gets rid of the noise in his head. I fucking love them, Claire said she wanted to kiss him and he kisses her, man I want their book. Gibsie acts like an open book when he’s not and he hides so much when he has people opening up to him, he is only open around Claire.

“Can I tell you something?"
I nodded eagerly. "You can tell me anything, Gerard."
"You're my favorite person in the world."
My eyes widened in surprise. "I am?"
"Yeah, you are."
"Even more than your mam?"
"Even more than Mam."
"And Brian?"
"Definitely more than Brian."
Whoa. "Even more than the Dub?"
"Yeah.” He nodded slowly, looking a little sad. "Can I tell you something else?"
Another wide-eyed nod.
"I need you to not go away…" His hand tightened around mine. "Like ever, Claire."
"Why?"
"You're the only person who makes it stop." He swallowed deeper and ducked his head. "The noise in my head.”



😒Hughie and Lizzie🤚🏽

Lizzie sees visions of her dead sister and needs to stop thinking so she cuts herself. She says she’s gonna make people pay for what they did. Lizzie goes to Claire’s place and goes to Hughie’s room. Hughie realizes she’s bleeding and knew she cut herself, pulling at her clothes. Pierce and Liz had a fight so she isn’t with him and Hughie is pissed because Pierce knew Liz cut herself and did nothing. He was gonna call his mom since she cut herself too deep but Liz begged him not to. Her mom and dad will send her away thinking she’s crazy like last time so she tells Hughie not to say anything. Despite Hughie dating Katie at the time, he says he’s crushed on Liz the entire time, she was his first kiss and shit. So he thinks it’s fine to hug her since they used to be close before her sister died. Hughie put her on his lap and told her she was staying the night and they stared at each other while lying down. He wiped her tears and she held his hand to her cheek. Liz wants Hughie to continue hating her, she pushes people away since her sister died and he cuddles her. Liz kisses Hugh and he stops her at first, saying they “probably” shouldn’t since he has Katie but when Liz kisses him again, he kisses her back and they fuck without a condom. The next day when Liz goes to school, Hughie is with Katie and acted like nothing happened, the nasty ass cheater. I like Katie so I feel so bad for her, Feely told Liz not to do anything since Hughie will never leave her.


“I knew this was wrong. I knew she had no business being in my bedroom late at night, and I certainly had no business letting her cry on my shoulder when I had a long-term girlfriend. But I couldn’t fucking help it, because long before Katie and every other girl that had crossed my path, there had been Lizzie.”
Fuck you Hughie

😭Joey and Aoife🔥

“And you're an asshole," I sneered, folding my arms across my chest. "Has anyone ever told you that?"
"Actually, I think you've told me that." His grin widened, revealing a perfect white smile. Bastard. "A time or two."
"Well, they say the third time's a charm," I replied, tone dripping with sarcasm. "You're an asshole, Joey Lynch."
A reluctant laugh escaped him.
He actually fucking laughed.
I almost fell out of my stilettos with shock.”

Aoife’s friend Casey ditched her when going into a club, some old guy grabbed Aoife’s ass and she pushed him off. She agreed to come there to see Joey, the guy she is crushing on and has been in classes with for 5 years. He’s drunk and addicted to drugs, she knows he’s dealing with shit and hates the world. But they have a friends-with-benefits relationship, she is obsessed with him while he tries to make her run away. He’s the hot-tempered guy at school who picks fights with everyone. They makeout at the club, Joey tells her to run but when she doesn’t, they fuck in the washroom. Joey says they need to stop since it’s getting confusing, they fuck unprotected too. He then asks Aoife to stay over at her place, he is quick to refuse her coming over cuz of his abusive household. He went over to her place but could hear the voices of his siblings begging him not to leave them there on their own. I felt bad, this guy was so broken and alone and constantly thought about others that he ruined his own life. I want Joey and Aoife to have a happy ending.


🙌🏽Shannon and Johnny🥺

“I don’t want normal, Johnny," she replied. "I only want you."
Thank fuck for that.
"And I only want you back," I whispered.
She offered me a bright smile. "Then we'll figure it out."
"Yeah." I hoped so. "Because I'm not giving you up.”

Shan and Johnny did a lot of long distance, she was at his match with Claire who was cheering Gibsie on. Johnny won the game and his mom wasn’t home so they rushed home and fucked. Johnny apologized for not giving Shan a normal relationship since he’s busy with rugby but they make it work. Shan asked him to help her with math. Johnny was getting a pencil for Shan and found a pregnancy test and has a breakdown, I swear his breakdowns are fucking hilarious. Him going from denial to acceptance and checking Shan’s stomach, and the way he was ready to quit rugby lol. And Edel hearing them and getting ready to beat Johnny’s ass was so funny. But it was a prank by Tadhg, I love him lmao.


“You, Shannon." Johnny blinked in outrage."You're pregnant!"
"No, I'm not!" I snapped, just about done with this madness. "We're not having a baby, so just calm down!"
"Oh my god!" he strangled out, rubbing a hand over his face. "You weren't going to keep it, were you?" He groaned and bit down on his fist, pacing resumed. "That's why you didn't tell me!"
"You are having a panic attack," I told him calmly. "You need to breathe and you need to listen."
"I'm keeping you!" he snarled, not listening one bit, as he stalked towards my door. "And that thing inside of ya!"
"Where are you going?" I called after him, smothering a laugh with my hand. "Johnny?"
"To buy a bleeding ring," he called over his shoulder. "And maybe hide the knives because I'm not going to have a dick for much longer, baby!"
Less than a minute later, my door flew back open and in he stalked like a man on a mission. Stomping over to where I was still sitting on the bed, Johnny dropped to his knees in front of me and pressed his ear to my stomach.
“What are you doing?" I laughed.
"I'm trying to get a sense of what the fuck I'm dealing with here," he muttered. "Jesus!"
"Oh my god, stop – stop!" I pushing at his head, unable to contain my laughter. "I'm going to wet myself."
"Incontinence," Johnny wailed, wrapping his arms around my waist and clinging to my belly. "That's a symptom of pregnancy." A comical yodel escaped him. "Ah shite, Shan, I'm so fucking sorry for putting a baby in ya!”
I love them so much, Johnny’s panic ramblings never get old lmao.

I already miss the characters, I love them all so fucking much. I wish we got Claire and Gibsie’s book sooner but I’m excited to read Aoife and Joey’s. Hughie and Lizzie seem emotional but I can’t stand Hughie and feel so bad for Katie. The way he was pissed at Pierce for breaking up with Liz and didn’t do anything to help her when he did worse. He literally fucked her while she was bleeding, she may have taken control but he shoulda stopped her. And the next day he’s back with Katie acting like he didn’t cheat, fuck him. I would love a story with Edel and John. Anyway, I adore this series and cannot wait to read more.

I can’t wait to read more books in this series, I feel so book hungover, and I’m probably gonna reread this series sometime. Anyway, stay safe folks!

I ate up all the Boys of Tommen content this novella 😋

➸ Joey & Aoife

These two are everything. I haven't read their book yet but I can assure you they are my favourite couple in BOT series and I love them truly with all my heart. The angst and pain that's swirling around them is going to break me in the end but I am so ready for it.

"You know… I think I could see myself loving you." He kissed me again, softer this time. "Not right now… but I might… someday."
"That's really good to know." Cupping his jaw roughly between my fingers, I dragged his lips to mine and kissed him hard. "Because I think I could love you back."

Joey deserves the world 🥺❤️‍🩹

➸ Johnny & Shannon

I love them your honor. The little prank in the end was everything and I love how Johnny was so ready to propose Shannon. I can never get enough of these two.

"I don’t want normal, Johnny," she replied. "I only want you."
Thank fuck for that. "And I only want you back," I whispered.

➸ Gibsie & Claire

Their first kiss moment was so adorable 🥹

"Can I tell you something?" I nodded eagerly.
"You can tell me anything, Gerard."
"You're my favorite person in the world."

➸ Lizzie & Hughie?

What. The. Hell. Is. Happening.

I was shocked. I didn't knew about Hughie cheating on Katie with Lizzie up until now and it still doesn't feel real because there were no signs for these two in B13 and K13 and now they are sleeping together because Hughie is protecting Lizzie from her destructive behaviour? Katie doesn't deserve this shit. I thought Feely and Lizzie were a potential paring but I guess I was wrong all this time 😭 I do feel bad for Lizzie and after knowing what she's been going through, it breaks my heart but I still hate her for how she treated Gerard.

"I don’t know what to do here… I don’t know how to help you."
"You already are." Her breath fanned my face, as she looked into my eyes with a sadness that was sobering. "Please don’t ever stop not hating me."
"I've never hated you, Lizzie, and I never will."

Someone on Reddit said not to take this novella seriously and that Chloe wrote this one just for fun. Well have fun telling that to my two brain cells that are busy overthinking and analysing every thing that happened in this book.

✧𓈒⋆ 3.5 stars for clairegibsie and joeyaoife only𓈒⋆✧

fair warning, i read only boys of tommen parts here, so the review is for those parts.

to be honest, i picked up this book because i wanted to get to know lizzie more, her internal struggles intrigued me when i was reading the first two books. i hoped that maybe we'll be able to see more of her here, but guess what? i'll get back to this soon, but i wanted to mention that this collection of novellas is a filler, you won't get to see reasoning for something that happened in first two books, you won't get to understand characters better after reading this one [well, maybe you'll be more sympathetic towards lizzie, but that's it]. it's a filler, nothing more, and it works well as a filler, like it was intended to work.

so, let's start?

“Why do you do it, Gerard?”
“Do what?”
“Act like a clown when you're around everyone else, but not when you're alone with me?”
“Why don't you call me Gibsie?” came his immediate response.
I scrunched my nose up in disgust. “Because you're not Gibsie to me, Gerard.”
“Exactly.” Shrugging, he unfolded his arms from behind his head and reached a hand out to me.
“Some things just make sense, Claire.” My heart leapt in my chest.
“Like us?”
“Yeah.” He smiled. “Like you and me.”

the cutest couple in this series if not ever. claire's pov literally melted my heart and made me smile like an idiot. we were robbed of gibsie's pov, but well as their book comes out soon, i'm not as mad as i could've been. at least, we're getting them and their happy ending soon, right?

this little flashback-snippet of claire's own crush on gibsie healed something in me. she was so jealous of other girls, but the thing is that for gibsie there's only claire, there's only ever been claire, cause she makes the noise stop, she grounds him and she's his lifeline. i love how those things are obvious for readers even without gibsie's own pov — claire is everything for him.

can april 16th come faster? i can't wait to read more of them!

“Liz…” Blowing out a pained breath, I pulled her closer, wanting to heal her and keep her and not fuck everything up all in one breath. “I don’t know what to do here… I don’t know how to help you.”
“You already are.”
Her breath fanned my face, as she looked into my eyes with a sadness that was sobering.
“Please don’t ever stop not hating me.”
“Stop not hating you?” I replied, forcing myself not to lean into her touch when her nose brushed mine. Keeping perfectly still, I whispered, “I've never hated you, Lizzie, and I never will.”
“Yeah, you will,” she replied, tone laced with sadness, her lips a hare's breath from mine. “Because that's what I do, Hughie. I drive people away. I make people hate me –” Her voice cracked and a sob tore from deep inside of her. “In the end, that's exactly what I'll do to you.”

✧𓈒⋆ lizzie & hughie 𓈒⋆✧

sooo, i'm extremely confused and i don't know how to feel here. spoilers for those who didn't read this book, but well, how should i feel about cheating? in no way or form i feel like cheating could be excused. cheating is a choice, no one forces one person to cheat on the other. here, knowing bits of the complexity lizzie and hughie's bond has, realising that after what she did to herself he's the only person who she turns to, sympathising with lizzie's trauma, i don't know how to feel here.

i don't excuse hughie, i think he's shitty and he should've stopped everything, but again from that little snippet it's not clear what hughie feels for both lizzie and katie. he cares for them both, he even loves them both, but the layers for both those relationships would be unraveled only in hughielizzie's book. so for now, i don't know how to feel about them, i don't know if i ship hughielizzie or if i prefer feelylizzie more [cause let's be honest, patrick feely is the best guy out of all bot guys]. however, hughie's reaction towards lizzie in that camping scene is much more understandable now, after reading their chapters of this book.

what i know is that i absolutely and wholeheartedly love lizzie young, she's the broken girl of the century and i really-really hope that we'll get to see her healing in her own book. she deserves the world.

“I think I could see myself loving you.” He kissed me again, softer this time. “Not right now… but I might… someday.”
“That's really good to know.” Cupping his jaw roughly between my fingers, I dragged his lips to mine and kissed him hard. “Because I think I could love you back.”

✧𓈒⋆ aoife & joey 𓈒⋆✧

ah, never have i ever was so excited to read about their journey like after reading their chapters in this book. joey and aoife can punch me and i would thank them. they work so good together, the chemistry and tension between them is so tangible and apparent. i don't know what happened between them in their timeline, i'm not even sure if they were together prior scene from this book or if they were dancing around getting together, or if they were broken up here — i don't know and i don't really care.

joey and aoife are about to be my favorite couple in this series, i can imagine, because the way they talk about each other, the way they act around each other, even the way they look at each other makes me want to scream, cry, smile like an idiot. i know they'll break my heart in their books, i know that their love is so complex and complicated, but it's so undeniably beautiful. oh, i could go on and on, but what's the point if they are simply everything?

“It was an extraordinary feeling, to be this in love having lived so little of life. It didn't matter though. I had peaked with him. Never would I stray or wander. Johnny Kavanagh was the boy I was supposed to be with. I had never been more sure of anything in my life. He was the other half of me. And I loved him. I loved him with everything I had in me.”

✧𓈒⋆ shannon & johnny 𓈒⋆✧

cutest little beans they are. not much to say about them here because their chapters felt like a simple continuation of the ending from their last book. johnny is hilarious, having him as a comic relief here was so refreshing. what was even more refreshing is seeing both johnny and shannon be teenagers in love here, no deep traumatic experiences above their heads, just love for each other.

​​                  ✧ ✧ ✧

overall, these stories were okay-ish, i really enjoyed getting bits of characters, filling some blanks for them and all that, but in retrospect this collection of novellas didn't bring anything new to the table. maybe, hughie and lizzie's part cleared some things for their interactions during camping trip, but nothing more. other that that, this book offered just some bits of beloved characters. i would recommend it for sure, but don't expect much of it like i did.

"Why do you do it, Gerard?"
"Do what?"
"Act like a clown when you're around everyone else, but noot when you're alone with me?"
"Why don't you call me Gibsie" came his immediate response.
"Because you're not Gibsie to me, 𝘎𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘥"

"Some things just make sense, Claire."
My heart leapt in my chest. "Like us?"
"Yeah." He smiled. "Like you and me."

"Can I tell you something?"
I nodded eagerly. "You can tell me anything, Gerard."
"You're my favorite person in the entire world."
My eyes widened in surprise. "I am?"
"Yeah, you are."
"Even more than your mam?"
"Even more than Mam."
"And Brian?"
"Definitely more than Brian."
𝘞𝘩𝘰𝘢. "Even more than the Dub?"
"Yeah." He nodded slowly, looking a little sad. "Can I tell you something else?"
Another wide-eyed nod.
"I need you to 𝘯𝘰𝘵 go away..." His hand tightened around mine. "Like ever, Claire."
"Why?"
"You're the only person who makes it stop." He swallowed deeper and ducked his head. "The noise in my head."

clairegibsie is always like a soothing bal on sunburns, i just adore the fuck out of them. i don't care if im 50 when their book comes out, i WILL be reading it!!! and giggle and twirl my hair at it too, kick my feet and do a wheelie in my wheelchair

Lizzie Young.
My sister's best friend.
The so-called viper in the flesh.
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭...

But I couldn't fucking help it, because long before Katie and every other girl that had crossed my path, there had been Lizzie.
She was the first girl I ever kissed, the first girl I ever crushed on, and I had crushed on her real fucking hard.

"Aoife Molloy."
"Joey Lynch."

"You know... I think I could see myself loving you." He kissed me again, softer this time. "Not right now... but I might... someday."
"That's really good to know, because I think I could love you back."

"Say I can stay with you tonight, Aoife. Please?"
"Okay, Joey Lynch, you can stay with me."

"I missed you so much, Johnny,"
"I missed you so fucking much, Shan, like you wouldn't bleeding believe - Christ, you feel like coming home."
"You are home, Johnny."

"Shannon, you've got a fucking baby in your belly!" Johnny hissed, "Jesus Christ, you've got 𝘮𝘺 baby inside you. This is not a laughing matter, baby!"
"What are you 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 about? I don't have a 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘺 inside me!"
"Oh, you don't? I can't fucking believe you were going to let me go and not tell me," he spat. "What did you think I was going to do? Leave you here on your own with my kid so I could go play rugby? Are you fucking insane? Do you know me at 𝘢𝘭𝘭?"

"I'm keeping you!" he snarled, not listening one bit, as he stalked towards my door. "And that thing inside of ya!"
"Where are you going?" I called after him, smothering a laugh with my hand. "Johnny?"
"To buy a bleeding ring," he called over his shoulder. "And maybe hide the knives because I'm not going to have a dick for much longer, baby!"

"Ah shite, Shan, I'm so fucking sorry for putting a baby in ya!"
"You put a 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 in her?"
"I'm sorry, Ma. I'm bleeding sorry-"
"I'm going to cut the willy off you, ya little toe-rag!"

im the biggest idiot on earth bc i just TYPED ALL OF THIS. like a moron. im stupid. i loved every single second of this book, it was like being right there with them, i love reading omg. i cant wait till valentines day to get more of everyone, so nervy <33 so crazy excited

[esperanza ♡]

I only read the boys of tommen chapters :).

clairegibsie — they’re cute but I don’t like that they have the typical playboy and good girl trope, so I don’t think I’ll like their book when it comes out. I don’t like that gibsie talked about and was with other women in binding 13 + keeping 13 but claims he likes claire 😵‍💫.

lizziehughie — I love lizzie but I don’t know how to feel about her and hughie. I don’t know how to feel about hughie cheating on katie because I’m only okay with cheating if a main character cheats on someone else (that’s not their love interest) whom is a shitty person and so far katie seems nice 😭. (to clarify, I would never want the main characters to cheat on each other, but I can handle reading about them cheating on terrible people. I hope that makes sense lol). though, lizzie and hughie’s book will probably have a lot of drama so that will be entertaining to read.

update: okay I love lizzie and hughie together now 🫣.

joeyaoife — they’re cute.

johnnyshannon — they are the best characters in this series. I love them <3.
