My rating: 2 stars.
I fear I can't be very objective about these books. I know, technically, that this is a two-star book. However. However. It's a 5-star experience. It's unserious, it's borderline trauma porn, there's yakuza mentions, and a made-up sport? But I read these books for the first time during one of the most stressful and depressing years of my life and it had the effect of giving too much sugar to a kid. I love the characters, and the pacing of the story, I'm deeply obsessed with the dynamics of every single character in this and I LOVE how funny this is. The type of funny that is so absurd that makes me laugh out loud. Neil is so fucking funny in this book I swear to God. I will probably be re-reading these yearly forever, but alas. Nora Sakavic is an insane motherfucker and I would love to grab a coffee with her.

3 star for the first 3/4 of the book, 3.5 for the last quarter. Feel like book 2 will pick up quite a bit.
I started reading this not expecting much, since i am not into sports AT ALL.
But I was hooked since the first page and the more the book progresses the harder it gets to put it down.
The characters are some of the most special people i have ever read about and it's been months since i read this series but they still haunt me. In a good way!
This series taught me a lot and i read it only within a few days. it's one of the best stories i have ever read!

i devoured this in a day. i was so excited for this series and it’s definitely living up to my expectations so far. i was completely immersed in the story, the plot and characters are both so compelling, especially neil and andrew. i need to know more about them, what’s going to happen with neil’s father and riko, and when kevin will finally remember neil. i just know i’m going to love the next books even more
I read this in one day and I'm a bit drunk rn but like. This was amazing.
The writing had glaring flaws at times, but I don't care. My inner edgy gremlin is jumping up and down and biting into all of the... Everything in this book.
Sometimes you need the senselessly edgy shit. I am in love with all of these fucked up little creatures.
5/5, would not recommend
