this book is not written well and needs like every trigger warning known to man. the fictional sport makes no sense and i have no idea what’s going on but i’m lowkey obsessed.

I'm not sure how to qualify how I feel about this book.  Would I say it's GOOD?  Not really.  Is it getting me out of my reading slump?  Yeah.  Am I unreasonably attached to the characters? YEAH.  This feels like an early-2000s edgy emo fever dream, but I'm having so much fun.  I'm 32, and it's like being in high school again, reading the edgy fan fiction my friends and I would write.

I don’t think I have ever read a book with such an intense “it’s complicated” when asked if the characters are loveable

This is objectively a bad book. It’s chock full of misinformation about mental health, trauma p0rn and edgy shit BUT, you truly cannot help bonding with these characters. I hate how much I loved these people. I can’t in good conscience though give it a higher rating.

The plot is as absurd as it is entertaining.

The Foxhole Court follows Neil Josten, a boy trying to outrun his violent past. He gets recruited to a college Exy team, the Palmetto Foxes. A ragtag bunch whose members have only one thing in common: they all needed a second chance. 

In 2016, I devoured this trilogy in a week. Right now, my reread has proven that this was definitely not the 5⭐️ read I remember 🥴 I never noticed the massive amounts of exposition, for one thing, and the amount of times a grown man threw around the R word was  certainly…something. 

This isn’t the most realistic story, okay? By any means. The author didn’t want to research a sport so she created her own which may or may not be her approach towards the drugs in this universe. I don’t want to say this reads like fanfiction because there are quality fan-made stories out there, but parts of this story felt like someone prompted a Tumblr user to write a found family, sports AU with queer angst. 

To be fair, I think she delivered on that count. I think about these characters to this day. I read fanfiction about these characters to this day. I think the characters are the best part, to be honest. If you want a brain off, just vibes book, you could give this a chance. 

If you do decide to read this story DO NOT listen to the audiobook! You know how when someone does something talented, people will say, “Oh, rent was DUE!!” This guy…. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Rent was not due. Mortgage was not due. In fact, he received a generous gift and bought the place in cash. He sucked any and all soul from this story. All the characters sound the same and he sounds like someone told him to do a Fonzy impression the entire narration. It’s embarrassing. 

TW: Child abuse, murder, death, drinking, drug use, flashbacks, ablest slurs, sexual assault (forced kissing under the influence)
Rep: Asexual MMC, gay side character
