Saving 6

Joey Lynch has spent his life holding together a family that keeps falling apart. The second son of an alcoholic father and a broken marriage, he became the protector of his younger siblings far too young — and now, as a talented hurler and footballer, he is fighting his own slow descent into addiction.

Aoife Molloy has loved Joey since they were children, and she refuses to give up on him, even as the world he comes from threatens to drag them both under.

Set in Cork in the early 2000s, this Boys of Tommen novel is a raw, tender story of addiction, first love, and the fierce loyalty of those who refuse to let go. Content note: it deals frankly with addiction and abuse.
