Plot gets a bit wild at times and it’s all super quickly paced. However, the perspective really makes it work and gets readers into Neil’s mindset. Sure we don’t exactly learn a lot about others, but Neil’s an exceptionally well-done unreliable narrator, so of course we wouldn’t. Overall, this is a book that’s easy to binge, but definitely check content warnings for it and others in the series because they’re intense.

Is it problematic? Yes. Does it make sense? No. Is it poorly-edited? Yes. AND YET. Here I am, six months and two rereads later, with a bedroom full of foxes and Andrew Minyard fan art, simping over another murderous blonde twink, practically doomsday prepping for the release of The Sunshine Court. What has my life become?

Sports plots aren't usually something that draws me, but the team dynamics, and the sports obsession as a background and driving motivation for the characters worked out very well.
For anyone interested in this, please check out content warnings first. The first book is already intense but starts comparatively tame. Going to include content warnings for all books in the series for this one.
