My fav book of the series. Loved seeing andrew and neil’s relationship grow. The plot twist about Wymack and Kevin was so unexpected wished we were shown more of them after coach found out. The ending was so unexpected, wasn’t expecting it at all. Loved that Andrew saved him against Riko though.

10/10 I love Neil and Andrew!! I love the story I like the sport and I can see myself re-reading the series over again. This is the best found family beside HP I’ve read ☺️

Wow I'm speechless!!!!

I love me a good "found-family" story. Also, Andrew and Niel, yes yes yes. I need more from these two. Such an interesting pair to read about.

A lot of things happened, quite fast-paced but in a good way. I would have loved a bit more details about their relationship but I'm just greedy that way. 😄

》Ten-nine, Foxes' favor—Kevin had scored in the last two seconds of the game.《

Author followed !

toni_mahony's review against another edition

5.0

These characters have so much depth to them.
Getting to know them, their past and the reasons behind their acts is just so gripping.
Their character development was realistically written because (tbh i don't think you can fully recover from what a few of them had to live trough) they don't forget their trauma and instead learn how to deal with it.
Seeing the relationships between the teammates evolve and change throughout the books makes me happy.

I will never forget these books. <3
