4.5
I really enjoyed this book a lot and all of the characters have a piece of my heart! Gibsie & Claire, Mammy K, the younger brothers, AOIFE!!! I enjoyed seeing more from the side characters and the set up for Joey’s books.
I think the second half of this book was better than the first half, and I think this one could’ve been a tiny bit shorter but I loved everything about Shannon & Johnny and this universe!!!
