Keeping 13: Epic, emotional and addictive romance from the TikTok phenomenon (The Boys of Tommen) Paperback – 31 Aug. 2023

This was just incredible. Chloe Walsh had me crying tears of joy, happiness and heart break. I can’t express how deeply emotive her writing is and how powerful it is to make me feel every single emotion.Please ensure you check the Trigger Warnings before you read 🩷Johnny Kavanagh needs to be wrapped up under my Christmas Tree this year or I’m having words with Santa. I’m not kidding this boy was something else. He went through so much and yet still showed excellent character development. I am utterly in love with every relationship this boy has, I love reading characters with personality and Chloe Walsh has clearly poured her heart and soul into every single one. I especially loved reading his interactions with the Team.Gibsie needs to also be under my tree this year. That boy had me HOWLING with laughter so hard that I definitely looked crazy while reading this in public. Every time he opened his mouth there was a 90% chance it would end in laughter. This is just testament to Walsh’s incredible writing. I am REALLY excited to see more of him and learn more about his story in the next books (the teasers on Chloe’s Instagram are killing me).Shannon, like the river. Will hold a special place in my heart. I could not imagine going through everything that she has and coming out the other side stronger than ever. I get emotional thinking about her and how far her character came in only 2 books. She is such a beautiful soul and matched with Johnny perfectly. I am so pleased that this book worked out the way it did for her and that she found her happiness.Joey was a heartbreaking character to watch and I’m glad that he ended up where he did. I hope he gets his own story with Aoife as they both deserve the world.Claire, Lizzie, Hughie, Feely, Katie, Sean, Ollie and of course Tadhg are also all amazing characters who added to the story excellently but If I start writing paragraphs about every character we’ll be here forever. I’m really hoping that they all get their own stories and happily ever afters as every single one of the deserve it.It’s fair to say I am immensely looking forward to the rest of this series and am loving the way that Chloe Walsh writes.

This is the second book to The Boys Of Tommen series by Chloe Walsh, and it’s perfect! This book is beautiful and heartbreaking and hilarious, and I cried so much whilst reading it. I think everybody should read Boys Of Tommen at least once in their life’s. The book came perfectly, no rips or mistakes or anything bad which I’m so thankful for. 5 STARS!

Loved this book, very emotional.Shannon and her brothers have had such a hard life, you feel every ounce of pain for them.Johnny really is their knight in rugby shorts.As well as the awful angst in this book there is also alot of laugh out loud moments, the banter between shannon, johnny and their friends especially Gibsie are hilarious aswell as the awkward sexy moments and talks with johnnys parents, howling.There is also alot more of Shannons younger brothers in this book and they have very different hilarious characters Tadgh the sarcastic mouthy kid, Ollie the sweeteer of the 2 and Baby Sean.I couldnt pick a favourite but it seems pretty much everyone in the book has a favourite at some point.Cant wait for more books in this series and would also love something a decade or so ahead to see how they're all doing and if relationships last.

Chloe gurl? What are you lacing your books with? im addicted..im 44 year old woman who's become obsessed with thia friendship group!! We all need a Johnny! This book is amazing infact all the series is the best ..it can get dark at times ..but these are real life traumas and handled and wrote about with such care. Shannon ..like the river x

omfg my whole heart. this series is just everything and more, it’s so much more than just a romance book—although the relationship between shannon and johnny just completely melted me. i’m absolutely obsessed with them both and this series, it’s become one of my favourites! it’s so beautifully written and achingly heartbreaking but in the best kind of way. all the emotions and more, you go from literally wanted to cry your eyes out in one chapter for them to screaming and smiling because of how sweet they are. i love how pure and whole their love is, what i would give to have johnny kavanagh love me the way he loves shannon!! this series definitely holds a special place in my heart, these characters hold a special place in my heart and i’m so excited to read saving & redeeming 6. joey lynch and aoife malloy i’m coming for you!! if i could give more than 5 stars i would. the perfect amount of angst, banter, romance and plot, i’m obsessed with all the characters stg.

Such a good series! I couldn’t put it down! Heard about this book from TikTok. It had me laughing, ugly crying and everything in between! A must have to anyone’s book collection

Incredible book, gripping from the start. This book has ruined all other books for me. Nothing compares. Prepare for heartbreak, lust and genuine true love.

Oh I am so in love with everything Shannon and Johnny, I have never laughed and cried so much at a book at this story was just an absolute dream!❤️
