Listen, this series is batshit insane, it does not make sense, it has a lot of plot holes, but by god is it good. Honestly if you want strong and well developed characters this is the series. I dont know how to explain it better then they are immensely addictive to read about. And this book (and the others) has one of the best Found family dynamics I've ever read about. 
The romance will take a little while to happen, but I promise its SO worth it. This series is 100% one of those guilty pleasures that you'll love. (Just don't focus on whether it makes sense or not, and be warned the more you get into it the more you'll have to be aware of the TWs)

I love the fact the main characters are social 'rejects', that this is their last chance. This drives a thicker plot and raises the stakes!

I think Coach is my favourite character. Although I feel like he's constantly pinching his nose in exasperation at all these delinquent boys, he cares so much about them all despite his words, he's there for each and every one of them.

There's much LGBTQ+ representation in this book but it's not in your face. You also have mental health, crime, family and team work.

Each character was honest and different in every way, including the girls on the team. They weren't weak or meek.  And the BANTER! Oh my days, I found myself laughing out loud constantly. 

Don't get me wrong, a lot of it was unrealistic. I mean, somehow they're part of a gang or something? But all in all, it's a good read. I can't wait to finish the series off.

I realize this book series is written like a fan fiction and I don’t care. Almost every character is a bastard, but somehow I still love them. If you read this book please check trigger warnings!

Will definitely read it again!

I just read it again and it was even better the second time around because you could better understand why certain characters acted the way they did whereas the first time it left me a little bit confused

The character appearances canonically and how many members of the Fandom view the characters differs. Overall, it's not a bad storyline.
