Snapped is the final installment in the Playbooks series. This book combines sports, romance, and social justice into a really informative and enjoyable story. Elliot and Quinton’s story sways workplace enemies to lovers with a heavy dose of miscommunication so theirs is great for fans of those tropes. I will say I wish one of the side character storylines was wrapped up as Vonnie and Justin’s marriage in crisis does not have a final resolution, whether it be divorce or staying together . Overall, an enjoyable end to the series.

This book was unlike any other in the series. While, the romance took a bit of a backseat to instead focus on identity, race, racism both overt and covert...I still really enjoyed it.
This book made me feel seen and called out as a biracial person, I wanted to shake the MC so many times in frustration.... however, I have to admit, when I was young (like in high school), I would ignore/ignorant to how much race effected me in my life and others around me. With my biracial-ness I would try to other myself and had a lot of trouble seeing how I fit. I felt like Elliott, who is half blank and white, with not knowing where to fit, not knowing where to have a voice, never quite feeling like I fit in the black community and not feeling like I fit into the Asian community and wanting to ignore race altogether. Now, like Elliott, I’m glad to not be ignorant to the abhorrent racism around me, even the micro-aggressions. To have gotten more comfortable with my identity and who I am, how to navigate that and more.
This book touches on so many things and hits home in so many ways, reminding us of when Collin Kaepernick took the knee and the fall out from #BlackLivesMatter and it also had some of @alexambooks signatures: strong female leads, swoon worthy men, and amazing female friendships.
