I’d rate this book a 3.5! I feel like the author tackled some large societal issues but in a very cliche way. I was thinking the story would have more mystery with how the first page begins.

A good book with a really intresting plot. The first chapter gets you hooked. Me personally don't like sports nor book about sports but this book have such a good mix that I couldn't stop reading. Definitely recommended.
