Reviews with content warning for Suicide - The Foxhole Court

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.

I'm not into sports AT ALL, and don't really care for mafia stories either, so I'm really not sure how I got here. But I already know I don't want to leave...

I read this within 24 hours and went straight on to the sequel. And no, I couldn't tell you why. Seriously.

This book is unhinged. The characters should all be in therapy, on a psych ward or in prison, there's literally no in-between.

The plot is outrageous and unrealistic on multiple levels, and boy is there some problematic stuff in here 😬

...And yet I could not put this down.

These broken young people and the DRAMA of it all. I have absolutely no clue what this sport is supposed to be that their lives all revolve around - I'm just here for these messy, fucked up dudes (and especially whatever the hell seems to be brewing between Neil and Andrew 👀)

This felt like an anime in all the best and worst ways. It's edgy, it's cringey, and it's objectively pretty bad in places... But I cannot get enough of it.

Do I recommend it? Absolutely not. But is it a new guilty pleasure that I'm about to make my whole personality? 100%.

[If you do venture into this chaos, PLEASE check the trigger warnings, because it is A LOT.]

It's been a while since I read these books. The writing is not amazing and it has a lot of faults. AND YET I devoured this within about 24 hours. I do appreciate the fact that this book mostly sets up the next two books. I like these early iterations of the characters less, but also that is the point, to see how they develop over the series. Especially

Andrew on his meds

is just much less appealing to me as a character, compared to later in the series.

This does mean that I'm looking forward to the next book(s)!

I do have to say, that the writing definitely already picks up towards the end of the book, from

the showdown at the tv show

on you already get a good idea of what the next two books are going to look like, as far as character dynamics go.
