Okay listen, if you have heard of this book series before, then you know it's reputation. It's a mess - a good old fashioned mess made up a weirdly cobbled together triggering plot points and tropes... and yet, I love these books with my whole heart. I love my damaged sports children in all of their beautiful glory. What can I say, I love a found family. Can I in good conscience, recommend these books? Absolutely not. That being said 10/10, would re-read a billion times probably.

Maybe it was the writing style or maybe it was a bit fast paced but the story itself didn’t really “suck me in”. I am willing to continue reading the series though, because it has gotten so much praise online. I’m just not sure this series is my cup of tea.

I was surprised by the plot—I didn’t know much going in—but it was so good I couldn’t put it down. I love these characters, the drama is rooted in so much realism and details of how Neil’s trauma manifests, how he tries to navigate moving from a constant state of survival mode into building a stable present is so well done. The author clearly understands ptsd and the text is richer for it. The relationships are built slowly and I love the characters so much I wasn’t disappointed. Can’t wait to see how the next books go.

Nora sakavic had a word document and a dream and holy fuck. the tension in this was probably the best i’ve ever read. not always the biggest fan of found family tropes but i think i’m gonna enjoy this one.
