The story : As a survivor of domestic violence I knew what was going to happen with the Father..he was in rehab to stay out of prison, I knew what was coming . But it was written in a non triggering way . It was a scene that had me on the edge of my seat in tears but Johnny Kavanaugh was a hero.
Shannon's brothers were just the best characters..Joey her rock her world had it the worst trying to keep the family together and afloat . His story I can't wait to read. The trauma he went through with Shannon for all of them to make it through this takes guts and a good heart. 

Johnny's parents were really the best written patents I have ever read. The hearts of gold ..the both of them for all they did in this book for Shannon and her brothers. I can't wait to read more of this story ; this close knit team of Hughie , Feely and Gibsie who was such a comedian and terrific friend.

If you loved these then you will love the Boys of Tommen:

It is kinda hard to rate these, I wouldn’t say I love them I wouldn’t say I hate them. This second one is better than the first for sure, more plot and less drag. I enjoy reading their story and feel you will hate this if you’ve never been through trauma or a rougher upbringing. I do feel like it does still drag on slightly more than needed tho still but it was better than the first. This one did make me cry and bring out emotion so plus for that. It is a good one to talk about in book club setting and did enjoy and will continue reading the series but i wouldn’t give it a top read for me personally. I do enjoy the culture and learning of the time and country.

I didn't think that the second book would get better, but it did. I was an emotional wreck with this book. I haven't finished the series yet, but this one is by far my favorite!!
