The Boys of Tommen by Chloe Walsh is an emotionally raw new adult romance series set in early 2000s Cork, Ireland, at the elite Tommen College, centering on a tight-knit group of rugby players and their friends as they confront high school pressures, family dysfunction, and first loves. It kicks off with shy, traumatized Shannon Lynch transferring schools to escape bullying and abuse, where she meets star rugby captain Johnny Kavanagh, sparking a profound slow-burn connection built on protection, friendship, and healing amid her turbulent home life. Subsequent books delve into Joey Lynch's addiction-fueled struggles and redemption, Gibsie's lighter yet layered romance with Claire, and upcoming tales like Hughie and Lizzie's, all weaving themes of mental health, generational trauma, found family, vulnerability, and resilience through gritty realism, banter, and heartfelt growth.

Jamie’s review

Where to even start… this series follows a group of friends in Ireland in the 90's and early 2000's. It's based on the author's life and let me tell you, it's harrowing. Each of the characters deals with the most gut wrenching trauma, it's emotional warfare every time you pick up a book.

That being said, I've never read something that exposes so much, unapologetically. Not only the horrendous abuse but the mindset behind the coping mechanisms of survivors. It's just…. eye-opening. This was Chloe Walsh's reality and this is the reality for so many people. It felt important to read it.

I loved Joey and Aiofe's books the most. I just related more to them. But Johnny, Shannon, Gibsie, Claire, Hugh, and Lizzie all have a special place in my heart. I want to talk like them and call everyone "love" and say "good man yourself." I am glad my friend Mo convinced me to read these books but I am also glad to be done reading them, if that makes sense.

Maybe space them out? Heavy and hard to read but the character development is top tier.
