Finding out that this was originally supposed to be a manga explained everything and now I’m revising all my reviews to give it 5 stars because it is so fun. Truly the Riverdale of books. Bending the rules of reality because the author has never lived in reality.

Important: Do NOT take this as me recommending the series. Unless you’re my friend and you’re funny.

This is my all time favorite trilogy! I absolutely love this series and it will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Note: this book is VERY, VERY dark!! Please look at the content warnings because this book deals with a lot of triggers and trama.

Ableist language. Homophobic language. Mostly used as insults.

I'm really disappointed, I'd heard so many good things and I was really looking forward to this but it just was not for me. I didn't really like any of the characters and it did not hold my attention well, plus the whole sports thing was not for me.

dark emotional tense fast-paced

5.0

this was written in like 2020 before these became my comfort books lol

okay first off i have 0 interest in sport. absolutely none. i’m only reading this for the characters. i like neil but his absolute lack of humour annoys me. make a joke. just one. please.
it’s actually a good book though, it has a lot of triggers + i put as many as i can think of but probably google the rest.
the writing style’s really matter-of-fact? like there’s little to no description but honestly i really like it.
the coach calling everyone the r slur is not appreciated though ☹️ everyone in this book is so aggressive. i actually weirdly like andrew? maybe just because i’ve struggled w similar problems but if he’d tone down the scary aggression then i’d like him.
