Saving 6

Chloe Walsh

Book 3 of Boys of Tommen

Set in a working-class Irish town, this is the origin story of Joey Lynch, a boy forced into the role of family protector after his older brother abandons them, and Aoife Molloy, the confident daughter of his boss who refuses to give up on him. Over the course of their six years of secondary school, their friendship deepens into love even as Joey's addiction and the fallout from his abusive home life threaten to destroy everything. It is an emotionally intense coming-of-age romance that serves as a prequel to the author's Binding 13 duology.
