"...I'll mean it when I say it, but I don't trust myself, Aoife. I just don't"
“I've spent a third of my life loving you, Aoife Malloy, and I don't plan on stopping.”
“Because in this version of forever, we get the happy ending Malloy.”
---------------------------------------
This is the fourth book in the Boys of Tommen series and the second in Joey/Aoife's duology. After finishing the first book in Joey's duology, my heart was breaking for these characters, yet full of hope for what might be. However, I knew because of events that transpired in Johnny and Shannon's books that it was going to get a lot worse before it got better. Still, as has been with every book in this series, I was not prepared. I will not put any spoilers, but Joey's letter to Aoife... oh my gosh 😭. Thankfully after breaking our hearts and putting us through the ringer, Chloe Walsh put us back together again. I have never felt more connected to characters as I have in these books. I felt their every emotion. And, yes I am aware they are fictional, but I am so happy for them and their character growth.
Joey, this man will fight tooth and nail for those he loves. He is the ultimate protector. He does not back down from responsibilities. He is everything to his brothers, sister, and Aofie. And Aoife, I loved her "ride or die" mentality. She became the only person Joey could count on, and she truly understood him. While I wasn't her biggest fan in Saving 6, she found redemption in my eyes in this book. I love these two together and they will live in my heart always.
The emotions this book prevoked... I have no words. These books are now 4 for 4 on making me tear up, and I am not a crier. These two will be in my heart forever.
***Please note there is mature content and triggers in this book, and overall this is an extremely emotionally heavy book.

Not much more to add enjoy the authors research found the new story line entertaining but just felt repetitive throughout most of the book just wished more of it was newmollybooks's review against another edition

I will not be surprised if the series is one day adapted into a movie or mini tv series. It’s so good
