“Oh my god, I’m so proud of you.” My brows shot up in surprise. “You are?” “Of course,” she sniffled, pulling back to smile at me. “You fought for this, Johnny.” Stroking my cheeks, she leaned in and pressed a kiss to my lips. “You’ve earned this.”

He really did

“He didn’t,” Claire was quick to defend. “He got a Jacob’s Ladder, and it’s not tacky. It’s very nice.” “And how the hell would you know?” Hughie demanded, glaring at his sister.

Yeah Clair, how do you know?

S: You’ve got this, Johnny Kavanagh. Go show them what you’re made of and shine. I’m proud of you. I love you. (A crazy fucking amount.) xx

I'm a sucker for this

“You are the biggest child I’ve ever met that never grew up,”

“Oh, Lord, save me from the stupidity of teenage boys.”

I feel you

Today is the day, I'm finishing this or else

“I see you, Joey Lynch.” She stroked her nose against his and whispered, “You can’t hide from me.”


😭

“if I have to strap you to my back and take you there myself! This is your future, and you’re not throwing it away. No goddamn way in hell am I letting that happen.”

True friendship

“You’re s-singing.” Sniffling, she clung to my chest. “‘Here Comes the Sun.’” I was singing. I was doing whatever I could to make this better for her. “That’s m-my Granda Murphy’s s-song,” she hiccupped. “You remember me t-telling you t-that?” “Yeah.” I remembered her telling me about her grandfather singing this song to her…”

This book will be the end of me 🤧

I AM NOT OK

“There’s something very special about that boy, but he’s lost, and if somebody doesn’t step up and do something, he’ll never find his way back.”

🥺

“I think it does matter, Joey,” Mam told him
“And I think you matter, too.”
“You’re wrong,” Joey replied... “So just give up.”
“Joey,” “You’ve been traveling down a very long road, love. Maybe it’s time to rest those feet and let someone else carry the load for you.” Silence. “Let me help you.” “Let me save you, Joey.”
“You can’t,” “There’s nothing left to save, Mrs. Kavanagh. So please just stop.”

MY HEART, BROKEN

“I misjudged you,” Darren’s voice cut through the air. Stunned, I spun around to find he was looking at Johnny. “I was wrong about you,” he added, tone hoarse. “And I owe you an apology.”

My god, am I hallucinating from reading this book for a week or did that just happen?

“She’s a parasite is what she is,” Gibsie sneered.

You tell them

I HATE BELLA THE BULLY
I HATE BELLA THE BULLY
I HATE BELLA THE BULLY

Is there thriller fanfic about her dying? Because I'd read that

“… I came to the conclusion that my brother was psychic. It was either that or he was a living, breathing lie detector, because everything Joey had ever predicted, good, bad, or indifferent, down through the years had come to pass. He had this spooky ability to look at a situation, feel out the lies, taste the danger, and then submit his prediction with crushing words and eerie accuracy.”

Oh Joey

NOT A PAST CHAPTER

WHY DID NO ONE WARN ME?

"It's cursed."

You might have a point about that

"Oh God.
This boy.
My heart."

"Bang, bang, bang..." 👁👄👁

Clair, you did our girl dirty 🐱

“You have serious fucking issues with taking things that aren’t yours. You’re like a kleptomaniac but with humans!”

why was this necessary? I mean, yes it was but also why?? the bulldozer was fully in charge I guess

“You teach people how to treat you by setting boundaries, lad. If you let someone walk all over you, they’re going to think it’s okay.”

Don't mind me, just taking life advice from a book

“He’s dyslexic!” Johnny snapped. “And you just made him feel about two feet tall in front of half the school.”

Really putting that last nail in the coffin that is my resolve not to read the next books... gonna have to now

“Your mind is a scary place to be,” he mused, scratching his chin. “Can you not overthink everything?” He tilted his head to one side, studying my face with a peculiar expression etched on his own. “Seriously, can’t you just turn that big sponge of a brain off and just relax?” “No.” I shrugged helplessly. “This is how I’m wired.”

THIS IS ME, I FEEL SEEN, AND YES IT IS A SCARY PLACE

“Oh, love, take off your pants,” Mam said then, dragging my attention back to her. “There’s a crease down the front of your jeans.” Hopping down from her stool, she moved for the ironing board. “Whip them off and I’ll run the iron over them.”

All jokes aside, I didn't know ironing Jeans was a thing -_-

“I’m not in your corner, Shannon,” Johnny replied in a gruff tone. “I’m standing right beside you."

Johnny, you say all the right things

SPOILER (but is it really?)


“I’m here for Johnny the boy,”
“Not Johnny the rugby player.”
“I’ll stay for both, but I’m only in love with one.”
“You mean it.”
“You really don’t care about it.”
“It’s not what I see when I look at you. It’s not what I have ever seen. I only want it for you because you want it for you,” I added, voice hoarse. “But I’m here either way—rugby or no rugby—if you want me to be.”

Here we go again :)

“Sounds very…” “Gibsie?” Johnny offered with a shake of his head. “Yeah, that’ll be him alright.” “At least he’s original,” I offered. “I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone like him before.” “That’s because the world can only handle one Gerard Gibson,” Johnny said with a chuckle.

One is more than enough for sure
