Saving 6
The third book in Chloe Walsh's wildly popular Boys of Tommen series, Saving 6 is a first love story that hits differently. It's raw, it's complicated, and if the reader buzz is anything to go by, it'll leave you emotionally wrecked in the best possible way. Readers have been effusive: 'Absolute perfection. This book will ruin you.' Another calls Walsh 'a genius' for her ability to make you feel every emotion on the page, while others simply ran out of stars to give. At the centre of it all is Joey Lynch, the second son in a household held together by fraying threads. When his older brother disappears, twelve-year-old Joey shoulders the weight of a family in freefall, stepping up as protector to his mother and younger siblings. He's angry, he's exhausted, and he's teetering on the edge of a destructive path he can barely resist. The one person who cuts through all of that is his boss's daughter, a sharp, spirited girl who happens to share his classroom. Aoife Molloy has always known her own mind. Confident and warm, she's never shied away from a challenge. But Joey Lynch is a puzzle she can't leave alone. What starts as a collision in the school corridor grows into a friendship neither of them quite planned for, with Aoife quietly piecing together the truth of Joey's life while he does everything he can to keep her at a safe distance. It's the push and pull of these two that makes Saving 6 so absorbing. Walsh writes young love with a weight and honesty that feels genuinely earned. For fans already deep in the Tommen world, or newcomers ready to start somewhere bold, this one's well worth picking up.
