Young Love • Found Family •
A truly well written story that plays out over a year in two parts. For me personally it was just too long but that my own personal gripe, I still very much enjoyed their story. If you struggle to pick up really long books like me I’d recommend audiobooking parts to get you through. I read book 1 in its entirety but only 50% of this one and turned to the audiobook to finish it off. So thank my library now have access to these books.
Shannon is a small, meek character who has experienced a world of pain growing up in the home she’s been dealt with.
Johnny, who is slightly older is the boy who saves Shannon and comes from a loving, supportive family in contrast.
