It was supposed to just be a cute story about sportsðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
The first book had my curiosity, the second one had my attention, and the third had my LOVE. This is one of the only series I’ve read where it actually got better the more I read. Neil’s arc was so beautifully delivered as he became less of an unreliable narrator while simultaneously opening up to his team. This is the only book where I actually needed to physically step away because the emotions were too much. I cried at least twice reading this.

Okay, I just finished rereading this. Wow. Emotions = felt. Tears = shed. Soul = crushed. I literally cannot stop thinking about this series. It has taken over my life (probably for the worst, but I’ll live with it). Just-yes. Thank you, it was amazing.
