SONG :
this book. this series. these characters. the Johnny being high on drugs in the hospital scene at the end of the book will always live in my mind forever and always.
Mariana Zapata: Hi, my name is Mariana Zapata and what you should know about me is that I write super long slowburn romances.
Chloe Walsh: hold my fucking beer.
Chloe Walsh:*goes on to write a highschool-coming-of-age story that is over 800+ pages long where all the H and h do is kiss for like maybe 3 times and it's glorious*
I'd love to write a review for this, but
so uhm... excuse me, but I have other priorities. Just know that I'm taking custody of all the boys of Tommen. This needs to be enough for now.
I've finished both books and decided to write one extremely long review for both Binding 13 and Keeping 13 HERE. What to expect: lots of tears & mental breakdowns.
#1 Binding 13 � 4.25 stars
#2 Keeping 13 � 5 stars

"Boom, boom, fucking boom," I groaned, slapping a hand against my chest. "I'm done for."

1. my emotions are all over the place right now after that cliffhanger. What the hell???
2. I have other things to do like start the sequel to this book which is over 900 pages ...

LMAO I love this 🤣 I’m so happy you enjoyed it! and yeah, my emotions were all over the place too for this series! ❤️
Whhhaaattt?! Tbh, the length of this book would've probably gotten it pushed down on my TBR but I'm glad you enjoyed this mammoth of a novel 😂😂
OMG 900 pages!! Now I get why you called it an encyclopedia haha but honestly your review has seriously tempted pick this one up now. . . .
@mel I finished the series and now I'm feeling empty, what do I do with my life now until the next book? 😭😭😭therefore the company of the Tommen boys is much needed, but you can come live with us in the mansion
@Charee girl omg I already really liked this book but the second book was completely destroying me 🥺 I'm joining you now, bc this series is of of my all-time-fav as well
@Rachel the length of this series is intimidating as hell. that's a big reason why I kept pushing the series, but now that I finished the series ... every single page was so worth it. 🤍
@yasmin this series for real .. it's something else
@Julia fastest encyclopedia I've ever read lol I'm doing a joined review for this book and the sequel for Keeping 13. I hope that will convince you to pick up this series cause it's really worth it!
I haven't meet any other author who could write slowburn extreme like MZ, but Chloe Walsh goes one step further in the slow department 😂 it's definitely more emotional and the family dynamics and friendships are dare I say even better than MZ
Ah, your the first person that I've seen that have also compared this to the works of Mariana! I felt like this was YA's version of MZ's work!
Well now I have to read this! Great review LOL

I felt like this was YA's version of MZ's work!"MZ is basically the only author that I can remember writing this kind of slowburn lol, but Chloe Walsh is even more extreme! But yeah CW is def the YA version of MZ!
Alison wrote: "Well now I have to read this! Great review LOL"You really need to! The page length is daunting, but IMO it's worth it!!
The intro LOOOOOL 😂 but to me the prize goes to Chloe cause she isn't shy to give us more - hard won and well deserved - smut eheh
Elissssss. wrote: "The intro LOOOOOL 😂 but to me the prize goes to Chloe cause she isn't shy to give us more - hard won and well deserved - smut eheh"Tell me that CW is not worse in the slowburn department than MZ TELL ME 😂 I honestly don't even how the smut was in this series, but wasn't it kinda faded to black after the first time?? Anyway we still love the books so I'm not complaining too much lol
The begining lmao!!! if this is slower then mariana zapata, i am not sure i could even endure that!
martina wrote: "The begining lmao!!! if this is slower then mariana zapata, i am not sure i could even endure that!"The romance is like super super super slowburn, but you have amazing bromances and sibling relationships so for me it wasn't too bad. Maybe if you know beforehand that the characters won't go further than kissing in this book, you can endure it easier idk you just have to try and see if it works for you 😂
This makes me soooo happy. Been a huge MZ fan for forever and B13 was right up my alley!
@Brittingbloom – would recommend Binding and Keeping 13 to every MZ fan so i'm happy it worked for you!!
I just wanted to know if it's only my copy or did you guys also have a lot of grammar& spelling mistakes in this book because it sadly irritates me. Feels like I'm reading a wattpad story that hasn't been through the correction process. Maybe it's only my copy because how did nobody talk about this. I'm on page 28 and just needed an answer about this please.
johnny high on drugs confessing his love to shannon will remain as one of the most precious and hilarious scenes in all of literature 😭
@poetscorner4you � i don't know if it's grammar&spelling mistakes or not cause i don't really care about that stuff, but the Irish slang that was used in this book was so unfamiliar to me that it took me a while to get used to it
@Elena – johnny wanting her baby and scaring his mother was everything 😩
nothing makes me smile like johnny shannon😭🫶
no excuse me?! the way johnnyshannon are everything 😭 THE HOSPITAL SCENE GAH it's living in my mind rent-free 🥰 johnny was too cutee <3
The hospital scene!! “Boom, boom, fucking boom.”😭� and his poor mother! That scene was so hilarious and cute!! I love them all so freakin much!!! xx
@Tee � they are all our precious babies and make my heart full 😭
@Summer � that scene should get a prize it's so good 🙏
@Em – his mother was about to get a heart attack the poor woman 🤣
ooooooh when its not just as good on reread but BETTER 👀 WOW ! so happy for u :)hahahha MZ is in this review ! if its just as good as her writing then im 100% gonna love this ! adding to priority tbr
@Gamar – i'd even say it's better than MZ 🌚 this series is SO GOOD! you need to read it soon 🙏
Phuong � wrote: "@Gamar – i'd even say it's better than MZ 🌚 this series is SO GOOD! you need to read it soon 🙏"THAT IS HIGH PRAISE
ill have to read it and find out :)
@Gamar � fuck around and find out 😌
I gotta start this wth am I doing
@Pinky � you have so many books to read 🌚
Girl right? This, ZA, CC, Heartless, I'm gonna be busy forever hehee
Does this book end on a cliffhanger?
@Prav � so many books to read and not nearly enough time
@Z.K. � yes this book ends on a cliffhanger, but then you can jump right into book 2 since it's out
Hi! Does it have any ow drama?
@Adriana � there is OW drama, but the hero is completely obsessed with the heroine and doesn't really give OW any attention
Mariana Zapata books are light slow burns this omg I was on the edge of my seat
I’m going in this book blindly because you gave it 4 STARS
Do you think this book is appropriate for a 15 year old?
