Edgy, violent boys. Improbable and wild events. It's giving problematic sports anime you keep watching despite literally everything about it.

hope was a dangerous, disquieting thing, but he thought perhaps he liked.

Foi muito estranho ler a tradução pt-br pela primeira vez, e não posso dizer que foi uma experiência boa nesse ponto. Tem erros mas, principalmente, muitas traduções não fizeram sentido, algumas por serem frases extremamente toscas (quando no original são frases bem mais sensíveis e importantes), enquanto outras por serem palavras que ninguém nunca fala ou sequer sabe o significado.
De resto, continua sendo meu livro queridinho. Não tem palavras que expliquem como eu amo essa história e como ela é importante pra mim, e cada vez que leio fico mais grata de ter os foxes na minha vida.

You just had to be there (tumblr 2013). I can't rate it or defend the absolute nonsense within it, but I also have reread it 3 times. At its core, there is a small, traumatized man whose ranks a fictional, uber-violent version of lacrosse over his own life. Check trigger warnings because too many apply! This author has never read the DSM and it shows, so take it all with a grain of salt and turn your brain off.

On a purely technical level was this all that great? No. But it was genuinely so entertaining I couldn't put it down. This is definitely not a book to go into thinking that it's going to be anything other than a fun time but honestly, that's what's so good about it.

A lot of characters are introduced at once, most without much description , so it was a little hard to keep track of who was who in the beginning. I had to look at the wiki page pictures/descriptions. Some of the writing was pretty cheesy but an enjoyable read. The whole Columbia thing was fucked up though.
