I have no doubt. If “Saving 6” had broken my heart, this one stitched it back together, piece by piece. It's the perfect culmination of Joey and Aoife's story.

The thing that struck me the most, and that led me to give top marks, was authenticity. The emotions, the reactions, even the characters' mistakes were so true and raw. It didn't feel like reading about fictional characters, but about real people with real pain. The author was not afraid to show the ugliest and most painful side of their story, without using filters.

Joey and Aoife went through hell. They faced obstacles that would have destroyed anyone else, yet the wonderful thing is that they never gave up. They fought tooth and nail and clung to each other with all their might to get their lives back, never letting go.

If I think back to when I started “Binding 13” almost like a bet… well, I lost the bet but I won an unforgettable story. This book is a hymn to resilience. Joey Lynch I will love you forever.
