Nessa Byrne has always been the good girl. At 15, she's known for following the rules, keeping her head down, and never giving anyone a reason to talk. Sweet, steady, and impossible to fault, Nessa has built her life on control, on being the opposite of her older brother Flynn, whose name seems to live permanently on detention slips and whispered gossip around Tommen College. But beneath the neat uniforms and quiet smiles, Nessa is bored out of her mind. When she moves to Ballylaggin to join Flynn at Tommen, she tells herself nothing will change. She'll make the team, keep her grades up, and stay far away from the kind of chaos that seems to follow him and his friends everywhere. Especially Tadhg Lynch. Loud, reckless, and impossible to ignore, Tadhg is everything Nessa can't stand, and everything she learned the hard way not to want. A year ago, she was just another girl watching him from the sidelines. Now, she can't think of anything worse than being noticed by him. But Tommen has a way of blurring lines. Between good and reckless. Between control and curiosity. Between who you are-and who you might be if you let yourself slip, just for a second. And when one night changes everything, Nessa finds herself caught in the orbit of a boy she swore she'd never get close to. Because Tadhg Lynch doesn't follow rules. And for the first time in her life, Nessa Byrne isn't sure she wants to either.

𝓣𝓪𝓭𝓰𝓱 𝓛𝔂𝓷𝓬𝓱 has had a hard life but he's slowly but surely recovering. Still plagued with panic attacks and haunting nightmares he's desperately searching for distractions. 𝓘𝓵𝓲𝓪𝓷𝓪 𝓓𝓾𝓷𝓷𝓮 is just that - a distraction- a sunshine girl who lights up Tadgh's life but Tadgh knows better than anyone: everyone has secrets.

Together through thick and thin since senior infants, Tadgh and Lilibeth are inseparable. What happens when the truth comes out and all of their heavily packed trauma and secrets come out? Will their friendship survive? This is a slow burn. I think I'm going to make another book after this one, and they might not even get together in this book. If they do there will be NO SMUT. Tadgh and Lilibeth are 6-12 in this book, and i don't feel comfortable writing about that stuff when their minors, that being said, keep in mind that for this book Lilibeth and Tadgh are TWELVE. This book is based in 1999-2005, and they aren't 18 until 2011, so womp womp. Most of the storyline belongs entirely to Chloe Walsh, apart from Lilibeth's backstory. All characters apart from Lilibeth, Annalise, Adam and Lilibeth's parents also belong to Chloe Walsh. This whole story is fictional, and any resemblance to people in real life, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. There will be mentions of SA, domestic abuse, drugs, etc. If you don't like or are uncomfortable with the topic, I would not recommend this book. ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟ ʜᴇᴀʟᴛʜ ᴍᴀᴛᴛᴇʀꜱ.

𝐑𝐈𝐌 wasn't the appropiated girl for anyone. She was the common dealer on Tommen, she couldn't go a week without struggling with some problem that she didn't even created. 𝐕𝐈𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐘 wasn't sure about his worth, he was quiet, he never got in the way. He was sick of his own problems, so why couldn't get her out of his mind? 𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐀 had always been the good one, the good girl, never in any type of problems. And now she was getting used to the feeling of freedom, while commiting the terrible mistakes of chaining herself again to a guy that loved another girl. 𝐆𝐈𝐁𝐒𝐈𝐄 was fully in love with Claire.

Maeve Lynch was the girl who had everything in order. Perfect grades. Perfect family. Perfect reputation. She never stepped out of line. Never took risks. Never let anyone see beneath the surface. Percy Holland was the boy who needed saving. Never enough. Never safe. Never given anything without having to fight for it. Known by everyone,but for all the wrong reasons. She was control. He was chaos. What happens when the girl who never needed saving meets the boy who's tired of surviving? A boys of tommen second gen book. Maeve Lynch x Percy Holland

I used to believe in one rule. Save yourself. Don't trust. Don't depend. Don't need-because the second you do, it gets taken from you. I learned that young. I learned it the hard way. And I was good at it. I kept my head down. I said the right things. I didn't make problems I can't fix, and I didn't get attached to people who come with warnings written all over them. It was easier that way. Safer. Then Joey Lynch happens. And suddenly I'm not careful anymore. I'm running barefoot through streets I shouldn't be in. I'm letting him see parts of me I've spent years hiding. I'm standing in front of him, heart in my throat, trying to figure out why he looks at me like I'm something worth saving-when he won't even save himself. He pushes me away like it's instinct. I follow him like it's mine. We don't talk about what this is. We don't put names on it. We don't even try to pretend it's normal. Because it's not. It's messy and reckless and too intense for something that was never supposed to matter this much. But the worst part? I don't want to stop. Even if it breaks me. Even if it destroys him. Even if, somewhere along the line, I forget how to be the girl who always survives.

IN WHICH: Piper Lynch, daughter of Joey Lynch, falls for Julian Holland - while still haunted by the trauma of her assault, she struggles to navigate healing, love, and the weight of everything she carries.

1st book of the series > Maeve Callahan knows how to disappear. At home, she stays quiet to survive. At school, she keeps her head down to avoid being seen. Moving to Cork was supposed to be a fresh start. But when her twin sister comes home high during their first week, Maeve is forced to follow the trail-and it leads straight to Tadgh Lynch. He's loud. He's reckless. He's trouble. And Maeve is sure he's the one who dragged her sister into it. Except... he's not. What starts as a brutal misunderstanding spirals into something messier. Angrier. Closer. Maeve doesn't trust boys like Tadgh. And Tadgh doesn't let anyone close enough to know the truth. But beneath their sharp words and silent glares, they're both carrying more than they can handle alone. Secrets. Pain. Shame. Fire. The kind of damage that doesn't go away just because you pretend it never happened. As friendships shift, lines blur, and emotions burn slow and hot, Maeve and Tadgh will have to decide whether to keep blaming each other-or face the things they've spent years trying to forget. An enemies-to-lovers story about trauma, trust, and the people who become home when everything else falls apart.

Tadhg Lynch He's the forgotten witness-the Joey Lynch doppelgänger who was too young to truly comprehend the gravity of Lynch's tragedy but too old to ever forget. Determined, athletic, attractive and an adopted Kavanagh Kid. For the most part, Tadhg Lynch was perfect. Lonely, but perfect. But there's one person who's a balm to that loneliness but also a walking migraine wrapped into one clusterfuck. Tadhg doesn't chase fights like an addict chasing their high, he bites when provoked. That being said, that notion seemingly dissolves around Ballylaggin's resident Wildflower, one Olivia Kataria. Olivia Kataria The wildflower is one of the lucky six scholarship recipients with a brain like no other-but an equally one-of-a-kind mindset that makes her a walking contradiction. Sporty, ambitious, beautiful and intelligent-Olivia Kataria is the dream-girl with an attitude that's the stuff of nightmares. And nobody's as well acquainted with her attitude as the boy who has been her academic rival since the first year, Tadhg Lynch. As their sixth year progresses; dynamics shift, their futures rewrite day by day. And as the pressure builds, what will be left? A diamond or collateral damage.

Caoimhe Kavanagh Sixteen, quiet but stubborn. Always the good girl, the rule-follower-until Aidan. She's smart, a little lost, and suddenly in way over her head. But she's all in. Heart first, logic later. Aidan Holland Seventeen, bruised in more ways than one. Loyal, guarded, and trying like hell not to ruin the one good thing in his life-Caoimhe. He's never had soft before, and now he's terrified to lose it. Set in early 2010s Cork, Finding 17 follows sixteen-year-old Caoimhe, the girl who's always done everything right, and Aidan, the boy born into everything wrong. Their secret connection ignites-messy, reckless, and impossibly tender. But as lies pile up and threats close in, they'll both have to choose: stay safe or risk everything for a love that was never supposed to happen.
