idk what to say i didnt wanna finish this book bc of how good it was
the whole team slowly getting close to each other, andrew slowly starting to trust neil and not holding back and them starting a (complicated) relationship 3
this is the best enemies to lovers slowburn hard pining i hate everyone but u extreme version book ive read
its also the best book out of the whole trilogy !! there wasnt rly much happening in the previous ones but this one covered the story really well
i INHALED this book in a night and i couldnt stop reading shaking crying screaming i need more andreil i need a movie or series adaption @netflix
i also found most of the characters likable ! they all had a depth in their pain and together they managed to start healing and became a family

i just feel like the author couldve squished in like 20-30 more pages just so we could see where andreil's relationship was going and what happened after the game and maybe like a few pages of just happiness bc the characters deserve nothing less
and also there were quite a few times when the description took too long and i wasnt rly invested in most of the exy games BUT IT WAS ALL WORTH IT
happy pride to andrew and neil

every time i read this book i understand andrew more. 
also his and neil’s conversations,,,, superior.
- “you are a pipe dream” 
- “i’m self destructive not stupid”  
- “you’re not actually a sociopath are you?”
- “now are you having fun?” *referring to someone getting injured/fighting* “that part was vaguely interesting”
- “you’re crazy” “this is news to no one”
- and so much more !!!!
