I didn't mean to read this in essentially one sitting, but gosh darn it the story was so cute and the characters were so loveable that I didn't want to leave this world. Also damn. YA hits different now that I'm an adult. I was bawling like a baby by the end.
Legitimately one of the best sport books I've read! There's a great respect for the sport of Quidditch in this novel. Ellen is, honestly, annoying AF at the beginning but damn she truly grows and matures and it's a delight to witness her development. As an added bonus, despite the obvious nerdy influence, there is absolutely no trash talking of jocks! There's some light hearted jabs, but damn it's so refreshing to read a nerdy novel that doesn't paint jocks in a negative light. Love that positive energy for this book!
