Boom, boom, fucking boom. If I never read another book again, and could only read this one. That would be okay. I love Johnny and Shannon so much 😭 I need them for keeps!!

 I haven’t stopped thinking about them since I finished the book, and will be reading Keeping 13 ASAP.

Every single page of this book was beautiful. It’s a book that simultaneously made me laugh and cry. Sometimes on the same page. I’ve never loved characters more, or rooted for a couple more. The writing was amazing, to generate such feeling from the readers requires immense skill, of which Walsh clearly has in buckets. 

The book is an emotional rollercoaster. Despite such heavy themes I found myself laughing often. Their banter was great but also Gibsie 🥲

Please, just check the CW’s and if you feel you can, read it. This didn’t even take me two days to read and it is CHUNKY. But I just couldn’t put it down. It’s addictive.

Me ha gustado mucho la trama del libro, aunque se me ha hecho muy muy lenta porque hay muchísimo relleno, sobre todo al describir cosas y porque repite las mismas cosas una y otra vez. A parte de eso el libro lo he visto muy bien, me ha gustado mucho el personaje de Shannon y me daba muchísima pena. Cada vez que ella narraba me bebía los capítulos, no como los que narraba Johnny, que eran insoportables porque gran parte de él o hablaba del dolor de su cirugía o los chicos de su equipo diciendo groserías de las mujeres. Aunque los chicos eran unos asquerosos, Johnny es el caso aparte junto a Gibsie (aunque dice sus groserías), Hugghie y Joey, que es el mejor hermano que alguien podría tener. 
Lo que más me ha entretenido ha sido la segunda mitad del libro.

I wasn’t really sure how to feel about this book going in but I’m completely obsessed. First of all Johnny is a dream boat but my favorite male character hands down is Gibsie. He had me literally laughing out loud the entire time.

Also can we just say that Johnny high on morphine was the greatest thing ever 💀

That cliffhanger too 😮‍💨

On to book 2 👋🏼

Found this hard to get into with the culture of the book and not knowing much about rugby. It almost felt to young for me in the start, but I grew to really like it. Really hard to rate star wise. I enjoyed the suspense and constantly was wanting to read to know what happened even stay up late to continue reading. Excited to continue the series and see what happens.
