I'll update this once I have time, but loved this so much! These kids are just insane, I love them.

UPDATE
So I'm actually writing after finishing The Raven King. I literally read that after I finished this one. Basically, I've read a book a day lol 

ANYWAY, I liked The Foxhole Court a lot. I was kinda in a reading slump and this took me out of it!
I kept reading, I couldn't put the book down, I needed to know more. This was soooo entraining, although of course the characters have to deal with some real shit.
Neil is so funny istg, Kevin a must protect and Andrew is... well insane, but he grew up on me at the end (THOUGH NOT AS MUCH AS IN THE SECOND BOOK OMG)
The other main characters are just the best. I know I said this already but I love all of them so so much.

Like, I'm so excited I can't even find the words!

As you will probably read in several reviews: people generally do not recommend this book despite giving it 5/5 stars. It’s a fun read, one that I have read over and over again, but it’s not without its flaws. Be sure to read the warnings others post. 

Describing The Foxhole Court (and The All for the Game series as a whole) is difficult. It’s decently written, with interesting character studies; the plot is fairly ridiculous, and borderline non-sensical, but all in all it’s fun. It’s the CW show of your sport’s books.

This book contains use of the “r”-word, as well as terms used to describe disability that are not okay. It also has non-consensual drug use/kissing.

4.5

objectively: probably 3.5☆
personally: 5☆

If you haven't read this book before, pay attention to the trigger warning for the series.

You'll probably love this series if you like sports anime or soap operas. Nothing about the plot is realistic, but it sure is engaging. The characters are all deeply flawed, yet written in a way that humanizes them. 

Would recommend if you like your books full of bat-shit-insane drama and flawed (but relatable) character.

Would not recommend if youre looking for a serious book or beautiful prose.
