Keeping 13 by Chloe Walsh

Keeping 13 by Chloe Walsh

Keeping 13 is the emotional, high-stakes conclusion to Johnny Kavanagh and Shannon Lynch's story within Chloe Walsh’s smash-hit, TikTok-phenomenon Boys of Tommen series. Originally published in 2018 (and recently re-released with massive fanfare by Piatkus/Bloom), this behemoth of a contemporary novel sits at over 650 pages and acts as the direct sequel to Binding 13.

While Binding 13 beautifully lays the groundwork for their burgeoning love, Keeping 13 plunges the characters into deep, turbulent waters, evolving from a standard sports romance into a gritty, raw story about trauma recovery, unwavering loyalty, and the power of chosen family.

Picking up exactly where the devastating cliffhanger of the first book left off, the story finds both protagonists at their lowest points. Johnny Kavanagh, Tommen College’s star rugby player, is sidelined and recovering from a severe, potentially career-threatening injury. Stripped of his beloved number 13 jersey, he feels lost, insecure, and completely consumed by thoughts of the mysterious, midnight-blue-eyed girl who has captured his heart.

That girl is Shannon Lynch, and her world has just completely shattered. Following a brutal domestic assault at the hands of her abusive father, Shannon is traumatized and desperately trying to keep her head above water while protecting her younger brothers. Terrified and conditioned to hide her reality, her walls go right back up.

But Johnny refuses to let her retreat into the shadows. As Shannon's dangerous family secrets are exposed to the light and tragedy strikes the Lynch home, Johnny and his fiercely supportive family step in. The novel follows Johnny and Shannon as they navigate legal battles, the agonizingly slow process of healing from severe domestic abuse, and the realization that their bond is built to survive the heaviest of burdens.
