Keeping 13

When two worlds collide, nothing will ever be the same again. Johnny Kavanagh has everything going for him. Primed for stardom, on the rugby pitch he's a force to be reckoned with. Nothing will stop him hitting the heights. Not even the shy new girl at Tommen College, with sad eyes and hidden bruises. The one that distracts him as no one ever has. Life has never been easy for Shannon Lynch. She arrives at the prestigious private school praying for a fresh start, desperate to shake off the demons that plague her. On her very first day, she encounters the notorious Johnny Kavanagh. Instantly drawn to him, Shannon finds herself once again the target of bullies as she forms a fragile alliance with rugby's rising star. But as they fall into a complicated friendship - and grapple with their undeniable chemistry - Johnny and Shannon cannot foresee the obstacles that will threaten their blossoming relationship.

Derrière un résumé en apparence léger, Binding 13 se révèle bien plus qu’une simple romance. C’est un roman d’une profondeur rare, qui aborde des thèmes difficiles avec une sincérité et un réalisme bouleversants. L’autrice ne cherche jamais à choquer inutilement : elle montre, avec justesse, la peur, la honte, le silence...  ce qu’on ne voit pas une fois la porte refermée. Lorsque les chemins de Johnny et Shannon se croisent, c’est tout un équilibre qui vacille. Leur relation naît avec délicatesse, respect et pudeur. Et plus d’une fois, votre cœur se serrera, se fissurera… avant d’être réparé, page après page.
