Keeping 13 (Boys of Tommen #2) by Chloe Walsh (Best of Booktok)

Keeping 13 is the high-stakes second installment of the beloved BookTok sensation from Chloe Walsh. Based in Ireland, the Boys Of Tommen series is bound to captivate and lure you into the world of rugby, love, and teenage heartbreak with the first Tommen couple, Johnny and Shannon.

Falling in love was the easy part.

What comes next is the test.

Johnny Kavanagh’s first, last, and only true love has always been rugby…until now. Following a devastating injury that has left him stripped of his beloved number 13 jersey, Johnny struggles to hold onto his dreams as they crumble around him. Lost and desperate, he sets his sights on unraveling the mystery of the girl with the midnight-blue eyes who haunts his every waking hour: Shannon Lynch. But navigating the future, even together, isn’t as easy as it once seemed.

Keeping secrets has never been a problem for Shannon. The life she was born into demands nothing less. After all, demons and evil men don’t just exist in fairytales—they exist in her world, too. Traumatized beyond repair after her return from Dublin and desperate to protect her little brothers, Shannon finds herself struggling like never before, barely keeping her head above water. Her walls are up and her trust is shaken, and only one boy has the ability to reach her heart.

But when new truths come to light and old wounds are reopened, will love be enough to help them heal, or is their future forever broken?

Trigger Warnings: physical and verbal abuse, bullying, underage drinking, substance abuse, mature language, suicidal ideation, death, sexual harassment.
