A good sports read. The main team members have very traumatic lives. The Main Character's love interest is /interesting/ and everything just seemed too unrealistic to me. To be fair, I am not a member of a gang or mafia and my life has been nice . . . so maybe I'm just biased towards nonviolence & being drug/alcohol free. The excessive drama pull the focus away from the sport (Exy: some sort of indoor extra aggressive lacrosse?). However, it was still a very enjoyable read and I did end up talking to the characters like they could hear me.
