I don’t really know how to rate a book in the AFTG series. Is the plot completely chaotic and absolutely unrealistic? Yes. Is it grounded in very real, aching grief and hurt and comfort and gritted-teeth survival instincts, and so well written that you forget how far fetched it all is? Also yes.
Did I devour it in a day? Also yes.
The main characters are so flawed and so human and so, so loveable. The found family vibes are impeccable. The weird blend of made up collegiate sports and a mafia thriller shouldn’t work but somehow does. 10/10. 5 stars. I love them. I’m horrified by at least 50% of the plot. I need Jean to have all the hugs. I don’t even know how to review this book.
