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.

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.

I realize this book series is written like a fan fiction and I don’t care. Almost every character is a bastard, but somehow I still love them. If you read this book please check trigger warnings!

I love this book so irrationally. I don’t think it’s exceptionally well-written. It’s not a literary masterpiece. But some quotes just SHINE, and the characters are so overwhelmingly interesting. Neil is a godawful narrator in terms of reliability, and that makes the whole thing SO fascinating. He’s perceptive towards anyone but himself, and I’m obsessed. Kevin Day is the love of my life. Matt is a gem. I just adore this book series with every fiber of my being.

This was a weird read. It’s nothing I’d usually read but somehow I kept wanting to continue. The ratings for the second and third one are quite a bit better, so I’m probably going to continue the series. 
This whole book felt more like the first part of a book instead of a book on its own. 
The characters are all interesting but there are just too many and they’re introduced too quickly, so I lost track on them most of the time.
I also wasn’t expecting slurs. Why are there so many slurs in this book? Yikes. 
Idk, I kind of liked it, but I’m not sure why.
