SURVIVING 7 | boys of tommen

When Rory O'Connell arrived at university, the last thing she expected was to be assigned a male roommate. An error, a shared dorm, and no available alternatives leave her stuck with Gerard Gibson - loud, reckless and determined to turn her life into one long punchline.

Gibsie has always been the joker. The class clown. The boy everyone laughs with, but no one looks past. Sharing a room with Rory means he can't keep the mask on forever. She sees through the charm, through the grin, through the chaos. And she isn't afraid to challenge the boy behind the jokes.

What starts as an infuriating mix-up soon becomes something neither of them expected: late-night talks, unspoken truths, and a connection that forces Gibsie to confront the one thing he's always avoided - his trauma.

Because sometimes the hardest person to live with... is the one you really are.
