It’s hard to describe just how much I enjoyed this book. There are vivid descriptions of life, of living in a household with domestic violence. And how an up-and-coming ‘star’ feels the pressure. We get Shannon’s thought processes of making daily choices while trying to survive. In Jhonny, we are given a look into what the pressure is like for someone who is the ‘star’ of something and their choices to stay on top. The two come together and bring something to the relationship that makes the other one better, stronger, and able to handle life differently than they have been. Be ready to have all the feelings while reading this book. It is painful, angsty, hopeful, and with moments of hilarity.  Keeping 13 book 2.
