I’m done for. When i say I couldn’t put this book down I mean it. I am obsessed with Johnny and Shannon. Their story just took a place in my heart and I know i will never get it back.

Shannon’s story is truly devastating and i love that the author doesn’t romanticise the dark parts but brings light to them. Reading about Shannon fighting her way through life broke a part of me. The brother sister dynamic is something i always long for in book that touch such sensitive topics and i love that we could read about more than just Johnny and Shannon.
Johnny the man that you are. I was definitely upset with him sometimes but MY GOD HOW CAN SOMEONE BE THIS ADORABLY AMAZING. 
After finishing this book I immediately picked up keeping 13 and honestly i don’t want to stop. I’m so excited to find out what happens next

This book had me so invested the whole time I forgot I was reading. The way the story goes. The ending absolutely wrecked me. Immediately going to start keeping 13 because I need to know.

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.
