I've read Chloe Walsh's books for years and her books always punch you right in the gut (But in a good way, I promise!)
Saving 6 is the first in a duology. If you haven't ready Binding 13, and Keeping 13 please go read those first. Saving 6 can be read as a stand alone...but I recommend you don't. You will get a lot more back ground by reading Binding 13, and keeping 13 first.

Saving 6 follows Joey and Aoife's story. It's utterly heartbreaking watching Joey go through everything. All I wanted to do was reach into the book and give him hug. He really goes through so much in this book and honestly, he did a really good job of hiding it in Binding 13, and Keeping 13. In Saving 6 you get to see just how much heartbreak Joey was going through. I would give this book 10 stars if I could!

Ahh the boys of Tommen! I am so in love with this series and was so excited to receive this copy! Prepare to be swept away by the emotional rollercoaster that is this book; this heart-wrenching tale follows the journey of Joey Lynch, a boy burdened with the responsibility of caring for his family amidst life's hardships. The complexities of Joey's life, from his struggles with addiction to his unwavering dedication to his loved ones will literally tug at your heartstrings. As Joey grapples with his demons, he finds an unexpected source of solace in Aoife Molloy, a spirited girl who refuses to let him push her away. The chemistry between Joey and Aoife is electric, drawing readers into a whirlwind of emotions as they navigate the highs and lows of their complicated friendship. Walsh expertly crafts a narrative filled with heart, humor, and raw vulnerability, keeping you hooked until the very end. 📚❤️ #Saving6 #ChloeWalsh #YA #Romance #BookReview

Thanks to NetGalley and Bloom for the e-arc in exchange for my honest review!

PAIN. 😭 That's what this book is.
Joey has my heart- I love how protective he is over his siblings. We got glimpses of his life in the first two books, but having to see his trauma and his life firsthand hurt on a whole other level. Aoife is everything and more!!! I admire her so much. They are perfect for each other.
I love how this series shows raw, realistic relationships. I hope they all get the happy ending they all deserve.

I didn't know what to expect going into Saving 6, but I didn't expect things to be to tragic. This is such a tragic story of a boy, lost in his family's drama and a girl trying to save him by loving him.

Parts of the book felt long and unnecessary, but then it came together in the end. You might ask yourself, what YA romance novel needs to be almost 600 pages? Trust the process. It will come together in the end.

This book is listed as a YA romance, but there are parts that I would not want my teenager reading. I would consider this more appropriate for NA.

Gripping. Emotional. Vulnerable. This book series blew me away. The way Walsh writes her character you just become one with them. This was heartbreaking & perfection all in one! Absolutely love this series it just gets better and better with each book

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Joey, don't get me wrong. However, "Saving 6" didn't captivate me as much as "Binding 13." Perhaps, it's because this story predates the events in the Binding and Keeping 13 series. The familiarity with Joey and Aoife's romance affected my overall enjoyment, as I felt I already knew where their relationship was heading. Nevertheless, "Saving 6" stands as a commendable addition to the Boys of Tommen series.

It took me a while to start this book mainly because I ended up not finishing keeping 13 so I was worried I would be confused, I’m upset I took this long. Joey and Aoife?? Omg this book broke me and fixed me all at once. Slow-burn, the banter HAD ME SCREAMINGG. It had some dark moments so be careful for that but seriously im so happy I read this. ALSO I NEED THIS VERSION OF THE COVER ASAP can’t wait for it to come out.

I’ve been sucked into this world and dont want to find my way out. Joey is easily my favorite character in this series. This broken boy just touches my heart in a way I didn’t know was possible. I will recommend this to anyone who will listen. The way Aoife sticks by Joey through it all just makes me so happy. We all need someone to love us even when we can’t love ourselves.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own

Another stunner from Walsh and the series that continues to break my heart and put it back together again.

Joey is so broken in this novel and i found it so easy to sympathize with him, under such immense pressure and only trying to protect his siblings. Naturally, there’s only so much you can give and I feel it deep down personally. Aoife has become such a big favorite FMC for me as well at this point.

With all the turmoil, this book definitely came off more mature compared to the others and I am grateful for that. The main characters have seriously been through so much, and heck, as a result I have too! Where do I send my therapist bill?!

This was the absolute slowest of slow burns but don’t let that chase you off. This book packs a wild punch and is easily my favorite of the series — the ending is beyond well deserved with these well round and expertly written characters.


Thank you to Bloom Books and Chloe Walsh for the earc!

I just love them. I do. I can’t explain it. I rarely, if ever, give 5 stars to multiple books in a series but this was the best thing I’ve read all year (and yes, the year just started but I just know this will be a top read, if not an all-time fave). I don’t know what to tell you- Joey is broken and under so much pressure to protect his siblings and just trying to cope with the pain he’s buckling under the best he can but the fact that he can still be so protective, present, and charming despite everything is what makes him stand out from every other jaded hero.

This first book was as close to flawless as I’m gonna get and still gives me all the feels I could ever hope for in a story. We already know what’s to come in R6 based on BK13 background crumbs but knowing their beginning was so important and I’m glad Chloe gave it to us and while there were a few scenes that could’ve been cut, I love them too much to ask for a shorter book. The spice is coming back in book 2 but so is the pure friendship, the flirtatious banter, the mutual protectiveness, the fight for each other, the self-healing after the self-destruction, and ofc the accidental pregnancy. So many complications ahead but their dynamic is so refreshing and likable that I will put myself through anything Chloe throws at them because I know they deserve to be together and they’re exactly what the other needs and deserves.

I am obsessed with this series! I did not expect to like the first book as much as I did and I loved continuing the series! The romance and setting was amazing!

Im obsessed with this series. I know its a new BookTok darling, but it is well deserved. The romance in all of boys of tommen series is top notch and I will recommend to everyone I know!

If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would! This is one of my favorite book series!! I love everything about Saving 6. From the book cover to the writing style to the storyline to the characters. Oh how I love Joey and Aoife! I can’t wait for this story to continue. You don’t want to miss out on this book or the Boys of Tommen series.

These books are so long but you don’t even realize or care while reading them because you get lost in their world. I absolutely love this series and I would give this series infinity stars if I could. Everyone needs to read this series… you won’t regret it!

Thank you NetGalley and Bloom Books for the arc of this book.

“I could go a fair bit crazy over you, Molloy.”

I avoided reading this one for a minute because I knew it was going to cause me emotional trauma… little did I know that this book would quite literally rip me to shreds.

Aoife has become one of my favorite FMCs of all time. Her spirited personality was a breath of fresh air and made her believable (other than with Paul, lord I wanted to gouge out my eyeballs every time they had a scene together). This book felt more mature (in a good way), which helped me connect more.

The book spans 5+ years and ends just after binding 13 starts. I thought seeing a different POV would be boring— that is absolutely not the case as there is little overlap of binding 13 in book one. This was the slowest of slow burns, but the buildup was absolutely worth it.

& oh sweet Joey. I knew his story would gut me, but I underestimated how poorly he was treated. His internal struggles were written very realistically, making every minute of this book raw and emotional.

“I’ll be seeing ya, Molloy,”

Absolutely in love with both Joey and Aiofe’s characters! I love this and CAN NOT wait to get my hands on the paperback when it comes out!

Saving 6 destroyed me. I was sobbing throughout the entire book. Joey is one of my favorite flawed characters I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Chloe Walsh does such heartbreaking work when she writes the stories of the Lynch siblings. In Keeping 13 my heart was healed but it was tore right back open as I read Joey’s struggles. The characters in this series are so well rounded and I found myself attached to everyone of them. I laughed with them. I cried with them. I can’t wait till I read the next book in this installment. I am devastated to have finished this book because I never wanted it to end.

Wow! Another great Chloe Walsh book. I was really interested in seeing how this book was going to be after reading the previous two and found I really enjoyed it. I really liked that the Chapters were written by date and pov. You really get to see both Joey and Aoife's relationship progress and grow from the age of 12 to 16. They start off as friends and finally become lovers.

Joey's pov of his broken family was heartbreaking. I found myself tearing up from just how messed up his parents were. The words and abuse he endured was tragic.

I have been provided with a review copy of Saving 6 from NetGalley for an impartial review. Awwww this was such a cute story. I was just captivated by everything that was taking place. It was just so easy to get into these characters lives and you just can't help but fall in love with them. I can't wait to see what's next from this author.

I mean am I surprised at how much I love this book? Not at all!!! I adored Joey and Aoife in Johnny and Shannon's books, so to be able to see the start of their love I ate up every single moment, even the ones that broke my heart!!

So all of this takes place before Johnny and Shannon even meet and I had thought I might not enjoy it cause you are in the past but I enjoyed this so much! Chloe wrote it so stinking well and the chapters weren't very long at all, so it made me feel like I chewed right through this book!! But also omg the text was bigger in this one! Hallelujah.

Goodness gracious did Joey ever break my heart in this, seeing his pov and all the stuff he personally has gone through had me wanting to give him the biggest hug in the whole world!!! Aoife was literally so freaking cool and getting her backstory was the best thing ever!!! Her and Joey are absolutely without a doubt soulmates and I am in love with them!! But don't even get me started on how this book ended.
