NAVIGATING 5 - tadgh lynch
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.

𝗕𝗢𝗬𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗡 | Euphemia "Effy" Lynch wasn't supposed to exist-at least not in the way her siblings did. Born of a one-night mistake and raised in the shadows of a loud, messy household, Effy has spent most of her life in silence. Quiet by nature, and quieter by necessity, she's the ghost of Ballylaggin Community School-bullied, broken, and invisible to most. Except her sister Shannon. Except her brothers. But everything changes when she transfers to Tommen College on a scholarship, hoping to disappear into the background of a new school. Instead, she catches the eye of Johnny Kavanagh-rugby captain, school golden boy, and the last person she expected to notice her. He's loud. She's silent. He burns. She buries. But somehow, he sees her. Really sees her. And Effy? For the first time in a long time, she wants to be seen. ׂ╰┈➤. johnny kavanagh x fem!oc on going -will update when i can published - aug 12, 2025 ended-
