This book was incredible. I've connected so well with the characters and loved seeing the relationships develop. I'm so invested in not only shannon and johnny, but gibs, claire, lizzie, hughie, aoife, joey and the family. I loved seeing more of their backgrounds which has made me so excited for the next book. I also loved seeing so much more of the other lynch siblings and their relationships with the group. I did cry a little, and Edel and John deserve a parenting award. I love the group so much and i'm desperately waiting for the rest of the series which I already know i'll devour because I miss them already.
