This series is absolutely unhinged, bordering on offensive, but something about it just works. The mix of intriguing characters, simple writing with lyrical parts, a plot with twists that are so over the top intense, and a constant feeling of mystery and suspense, just WORKS, even though it has no right to. The over-the-top-ness makes a bit more sense when remembering this was supposed to  be a manga in its origins, but I for one am glad it made it into book form.

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.

This is one of my favorite books of all time. The quotes and scenes crack me up months after reading and I find myself thinking of these characters in my day to day life. The fan base is amazing and there's much fan made content that fits in seemlessly with the official content.

This book is about the mafia and all of the foxes comes from rocky and abusive childhoods, nothing is written for shock value and it's handled well but it is intense and should be known before reading this book.

3.0

I think that I understand why people love these books so much. I think that the atmosphere that it creates can be really enjoyable at times. I understand that this a book series focusing on broken traumatized people. But I really didn’t see any character development from specific characters which really annoys me.

Read For:

Gay Sports

Hurt/Comfort

Chaotic Gays

Found Family

College Setting

This book is addictive and all things chaotic from the characters to the plot.  While it is filled with problems and poor choices it’s such a comfort series that I couldn’t imagine not re-reading it time and time again.

While there isn’t much that happens in this book (compared to the other two in the series) this book gets the setting out in place, you get to know the characters and no I have no idea why Nicky is so damn creepy in this book but trust me he gets better in the other two books.

It’s fun re-reading this series because you can see the slow burn settle in while if you’re reading this for the first time you’ll be just as confused and oblivious as Neil.  It’s truly amazing.
