Read 3 times. Last read June 1, 2024 to July 17, 2024.
ˋ✧*➷ third read: 17th july 2024. shannon is too pathetic for my liking, idk what i saw in her in the first place. my love for this book has tamed down a little and all i can see is flaws, so i don't think i'll be re-reading it again anytime soon 🤷♀️

there are some books that you never get over with. some books that leave a deep imprint in your heart, your mind, your soul. this is that book.
Binding 13 is my favourite romance of all time.
there. i said. it.
if i have to rate my top 3 romance books:
1. Binding 13 by Chloe Walsh
2. I Hope This Doesn't Find You by Ann Liang
3. People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry.
but that's beyond the point of what i'm trying to state here.
i was in a constant state of hypervigilance and anxiety since the start of the book. shannon's character hit too close to home, more than i was comfortable with. it was as if the fourth dimension broke and the world around me ceased to exist as i flipped the pages. i wasn't seeing shannon, i was seeing myself, and it fucking threw me in a state of an inexplainable paranoia.
oh my god this book.
my childhood hasn't been worse than shannon, but i still do find it relatable at some parts to some extent, but there's no denial in this, i love shannon lynch so fucking much! it's as if i have a little sister who unfortunately is tiptoeing around the same shards of glass in the same pattern that i somewhat once did in my life, and the urge to protect her was real. way too real considering these characters aren't even real.
(p.s. idk why i feel the need to include this, but physically she and me are the same. word to word. it's so difficult to find such characters istg, she def boosted my confidence lol)
joey and other kids. my god, joey lynch. my heart bleeds for him. the responsibilities and trauma he had to go through. far worse than anyone else. my heart mourns for these kids.
idk i wanted to cry for the entire book. it made me so uncomfortable. i just wanna protect these characters alright??
and GIBSIE. he's such a fucking tool but oh god i absolutely love him. my sunshine, my pookie pie, my haemoglobin, my cutie picapoo ugh claire you lucky luck woman. CHLOE WE NEED THEIR BOOK LIKE YESTERDAY WTF ARE YOU DOING!?
"If feelings were objects, then I was teetering on the edge of a great precipice, and if girls were weapons, then Shannon Lynch was the greatest weapon of mass destruction my heart had ever been exposed to.
Because I was fucked."
Johnny Kavanagh. i hate this bleeding eejit. i hate him so much bcz he's so perfect and it makes me so soo mad cuz i didn't have a johnny to hold me in his arms while i cried my heart out. i never had a johnny to fight the world for me. i never had a johnny to appreciate my every scar, my every imperfection. i never had a johnny to fight my battles with me and protect me. i still don't. and you won't understand how much i crave such love. i need it so fucking much. i feel so... empty.
"Stay.
Stay with me, Shannon.
I can keep you safe.
I'll look after you..."
i fell in love with johnny. literally. no i'm not being dramatic and no i'm not over exaggerating, but i wanted to rip him out of the book and keep by my side forever. in shannon like the river's words: i want him, period.
if innocent love is the phrase then johnny and shannon are the entire book. pure unadultered love that knows no boundaries.
"I think I love that girl."
"Well, who's this girl?"
"She's a river," I sighed and closed my eyes. "I'm keeping her, Da."
"Okay, son," he coaxed. "You keep the girl."
"She makes my heart go, like, whoa."
"Is that right?" he mused.
"So bad, Da," I sighed. "Boom, boom, fucking boom." I shook my head. "All the time."

"I was ridiculously small for my age in every way. I was thin on the extreme, under developed with fried eggs for breasts, clearly untouched by the puberty boom that had hit every other girl my age. What I lacked in the height and breast departments, I liked to think I made up for in maturity. I was level-headed and an old soul.

"Thinking back over my words, I suddenly realized how badly that must have sounded to Mrs. Kavanagh and, desperate to wipe the look of terror off her face, I quickly clarified, "Out. Johnny knocked me out. Not up."
Oh, dear god, let me die.
"How did he hurt you?" his mother asked, looking troubled and yet massively relieved.
I sighed heavily. "With his balls."
SHANNON BAE STOP💀💀"

""Why is your cat in her house?"
"He wasn’t feeling well, I took him for a walk."
"You took your cat for a walk?" Lizzie shook her head. "Boy needs institutionalizing."
"It's not that strange," he huffed defensively. "I live across the street."
"Did you put a leash on him?"
"Obviously." Gibsie looked at her like it was the dumbest thing he'd ever heard. "How else was I supposed to walk him over here?"
GIBSIE LMAO"
