No words I never write a review but this book made me I can’t express in words how beautifully this book is written.

I got this as a gift, and my friend really enjoyed it. This is a quality product, and the author is good.

This book was my most anticipated read for 2024 and oh boy… 🫠 I’m not going to give a synopsis on this one, simply because I know there are still soooo many peeps who are eager to read it and I don’t want to give any spoilers 🤐 what I will say is that there are parts of the book that could be triggering, including suicide and childhood sexual abuse. Not gonna lie, it did take me a bit to get into it. While (in my opinion) it was not as epic as Johnny Kav or Joe Lynch’s books, it was still a very good read. I feel that it resolved a lot of unanswered questions that came from the other books, especially about Gibsie, Claire, Lizzie and Hugh. While Gibsie was not one of my fav’s from the other books, I now have a much greater appreciation for him and the relationship between him and Claire-bear 💙 I feel in my heart by the end of this book that it won’t be the last in the Boys Of Tommen series and I look forward to reading the next book (maybe Hugh’s??) when it is written/released.

To say I'm a book worm would be to say that The Rock or Arnold Schwarzenegger enjoy light exercise. I live and breathe my favourite books, and have been looking forward to reading Gibsie & Claire's story for over 4 years. At this point, I have come up with many different scenarios and stories in my head, but not one holds a candle to Taming 7. I expected some of the twists and turns, but absolutely did not forsee some of the most impactful moments of their story. From the moment I first experienced the B.O.Tommen world, I have adored both Gerard Gibsie, with all of his hilarious antics, and his friendship with his Claire Bear. Their relationship is serious #friendshipgoals: the way they are there for one another, always showing up - no matter what; never judge one another; are loyal to one another above all else; get and understand one another better than anyone else; know when to push, when to provide distraction, and when to provide safety - a safe place to fall. That, plus their banter was a solid 100. They could be utterly hilarious, arguing about the most ridiculous of things one moment, and in the next breath be holding hands and providing support and sanctuary. With one look, they knew what the other needed. I wish I had a ride or die like #Clisby (<- that was obviously created by Gibs, lol). That said, there were uncharted waters for them in Taming 7, where they both had to learn and grow, which is never easy. Plus the Gibs Kav bromance is still going strong, and, believe it or not, gets even better. Their bromance is one for the ages. There was also the added element of dealing with some vicious bullying from within their own group, forcing there to be battle lines drawn and crossed, which will surely play a huge part in the coming books. And whilst the book showed us how Johnny, Shannon, Joey, Aoife, and the lynch kids were healing, growing, and thriving, it also provided the friendship goals, banter/ craic, and raw emotion I've come to expect from Walsh's world in Cork. Seeing how much Shannon is coming out of her shell, how much more confident she is, and seeing Joey more settled, content and seemingly more at peace was beautiful and made me so happy. Both getting the better life they deserve. I did not, however, expect to spend hours sobbing uncontrollably, as part of this book is harrowing. Harrowing, I tell you. What one of the characters has endured - with a smile to hide it all, no less - is astounding, their strength and kindness as inspiring as it is heart breaking - gut wrenchingly heart breaking. I thought Walsh had packed her biggest punch with the Lynch's. I was wrong. I was so, so wrong. So obviously, I will be rereading the entire series with my newly gained knowledge and perspective, already knowing my mind is going to be blown (whilst most likely using up another packet of Kleenex) all over again from the strength and compassion I was shown in Taming 7. Hats off to you, once again, Chloe Walsh. Your imagination is a wonderful thing, and I'm so grateful that you share it with us. The writing was beautiful, and I love that you hardly ever use "said/ says", but enhance your books by being more descriptive and not relying on repetitive words. It truly elevates your work and makes the experience as a reader much deeper, I feel more connected to the characters partly because of how you write the dialogue. How you write makes me feel every word, every feeling, every moment, and that is both phenomenal and painful. I have always said that my favourite books have to make me *feel*, and BOT has never not done that. The characters are also incredibly realistic. Their thoughts processes, their feelings, their humour, their demons, their hopes, fears and dreams, it all comes across like reading real people rather than characters in a book. I have never experienced the realness of characters in any other books or book series. I cannot tell you enough how rare and talented that is. I cannot wait to see where the next installment goes, what journey it takes us on. To anyone who hasn't read the Boys Of Tommen yet: you should. Do yourself a favour and discover both a new favourite series and an immensely talented author. You've been missing out on an immersive, fun, genuine and emotional book world.

Amazing book but it arrived damaged. Amazon please take your packaging seriously

This book was absolutely amazing, lots of emotion and cute scenes, 100% recommend, this book really puts the male perspective of SA into consideration and shows it really well

I have loved this series. They are written with great understanding of the situation and are very emotional but fantastic story line. Great romance and also humor together with lots of heart break
