Despite the fact that it took me a month to find the time to finish this book, I closed this book again with much pain in my heart. Still, I must say this is currently my least favourite book in the series (but who knows, maybe this will change?).
In the books about Shannon & Johnny, I was not really invested in Joey & Aoife's story. This might have biased me a bit to start the book. Despite taking so long to finish it, I was able to follow it back into the story very easily and had not forgotten anything that had happened! Yet on this positive note, I must also note the less good side of it, namely that this was because there was many repetition in it. This was also the case with the first 2 books, but here I found it even more extreme somehow. In fact, I found very many parts similar to Johnny & Shannon's. There were also very few new things that happened, unfortunately, so I don't feel I can write a decent review on this....
Anyhow, I am still secretly curious to see how things will continue between them 2 and am definitely already warming up to read that one too!

Finally! Joey’s story! I liked this one more than the Binding/Keeping 13 duets. Joey and Aoife have ripped my heart out of my chest. 🫀 Beautifully written, as always.
🎙️ The audiobook is phenomenal!
