Joey- he deserves soooo much and Iām happy that he got his happy ending - by farrrr one of the most interesting, complex characters Iāve read about. Heās literally a brother, a parent, and boyfriend, a dad an everything. Heās literally Aoifes best friend and Iām so happy they have each other. The shit he went through in these books broke my heart into pieces that I donāt think will ever become whole againš honestly Iāve never sobbed like that for a character. He tried as well, he reallly tried the first time he sobered up himself he was doing so well. But all because of his āparentsā the whole reason why he turned to drugs in the first place is why he went back. Honestly tho his relationship with Aoife is perfect like Iām obsessed
āHey, studā
āHey, queenā
They really gave Johnny and Shan a run for their money frrrr. But also all his friends and the relationships he developed killed me. PLS I NEED HIM AND GIBS(GUSSIEš¤) TO BECOME BESTIES!! I love their friendship and theyāre in all the same classesš¤£š¤£ soo cuteeee. Also he took them to the hospital when she was having the babyš„¹. And he showered him and cleaned him after that time he took too much drugs. Heās literally such a good person I love himmm!!!!!
Listen Iām a Lizzie defender4eva and seeing her and joes relationshipššš I love her even more. Heās like one of the only ones that knows about her and hughieš„². Also that night, that bleeding awful night. I broke in half. I actually shattered.
āThis girl. Messy as fuck or not, this girl had my unconditional support.ā
āYeah, for the rest of the school year, she would come under the same umbrella that Tadhg and Shannon did.ā
Plssss their little bond is so cute Iām obsessed. Theyāre basically siblings and I canāt wait for him to support her when her book comes outš¤š¤.Ā
Aoife- my babygirl. I actually donāt understand people who chat shit about her. Sheās literally done through her own trauma. She literally struggled with romantic relationships because of her parents and thatās why she was always asking joe about his past. (Also the way he didnāt consent to his virginity being taken broke me. He was failed by literally everyone. I canāt even deal.) also when she said (the thing about his dad to him) SHE WAS LITERALLY SEXUALLY ASSAULTED BY HIS DAD TWO SECS AGO. He literally pulled her knickers down and shoved her down and she thought it was Joey when he first came in. So no I donāt blame her. And it really hurt that it happened because that whole situation was so devastating especially after when he relapsed. But I am an Aoife apologist till I dieš¤š¤ love you babes. Gibsie literally even became friends with her and the was he didnāt even hesitate to give her the moneyš„¹š„¹. He is literally the blueprint. I donāt make the rulesš«¢. When she had to get joe from that room with needles sticking out his arm, and then she had to go through all that extra testing cause heās a drug user I swear my heart fell apartš. Sheās the strongest girl and heās the strongest guyā¤ļøāš„ā¤ļøāš„ā¤ļøāš„ my OTP and fave parents of little AJš„¹š„¹š„¹. Then calling him Anthony cause he raised them both had me bawlingš„¹. Ā SOLID 5/5 the little Claire-bear&Gibsie crumbs we got, the mammy K scenes, the brother relationship happening between him and Kavš and all the scenes with his siblings (I was gonna say seany-boo especially but itās literally also Tadgh and Shan and olsš„¹) I love everything about this book and Boys of Tommen will forever have my heart<333 I need next year and the next book to come like yesterday. Iām literally already rereading all my highlightsš.Ā

I was right: I loved that we caught up to the first books timeline and we could interact more with the rest of the cast, but also, I loved following Joey and Aoife more this book than the previous one. It was lovely and heartbreaking to read their story.Ā
A whole 5/5 with all my heart
