There’s something about seeing your ugly parts you’ve hidden being reflected so honestly in a book and being told you can still win and be a team and be a champion and leave the things you don’t want and move on and you don’t have to be soft, you can be ugly and callused and you’ll find your people who understand and know and are doing the same and they will love you and you will love them and that’s what it’s about.

Literally so many horrible things propelling all of the characters and their relationships but the overarching plot is that they are all (except for Andrew) desperate to play this sport that consumes their lives and gives them purpose. To the point they’re willing to face off against gangs and their horrible pasts barreling towards them for the chance to make this team legendary. They are all deeply traumatized and have terrible coping mechanisms and take it out on each other frequently. But they are also a team, and they will not let one of their number be taken away.giou's review against another edition

If I was Neil, and thankfully I'm not, I would've left the foxes at the very least after Eden. Most of them are not good people, which can be attributed to their trauma in most cases but does not make everything they say or do okay in any way. I care for them as fictional people but would not want to be associated with them in real life.
This book is not for everyone, and it is a MUST to read the trigger warnings cause there are MANY.
I will read the rest of the series because I care about the characters, and it was a fun read because of how ridiculous it was.

That being said, I did read them twice in the space of a week so how am I not supposed to give them 5 stars
Solid over-the-top everything with a fake sport, real rivalry, and 2 guys shoving each other around
