What a tragic, anti-hero. 
Joey is devastating. This story is so sad - it makes me wonder how many people we encounter are living in a fucked up situation like this. 
As angry as his choices make me, I love Joey. Maybe more than Johnny. 
He is so loving and protective and brave. 
Hearing the things he believe about himself breaks my heart. 
It makes me love Aoife so much. Should she run? Probably. But sometimes all someone needs is to know they’re lovable and she does that for Joey. 
I liked watching them fall in love but will admit that it was a little slow and sometimes the drama gets tiring. 
Can’t wait to see what happens in “Redeeming 6!”

“Excitement and fear thrummed through my body. As I allowed myself to feel something other than hopelessness, as I enjoyed the sensation do being inside my own body, my own head, for once without need to self-medicate first.” 

“Because the only time I allow myself to feel anything is when I’m with you.”
