This book was absolutely beautiful. At some point I even teared up. 

This book read very fast. I'm a slow reader and easily distracted. Normally I take a break after almost every chapter, even if it's just a few seconds. This book I barely even noticed it where a chapter started or ended. I didn't need any breaks, I was instantly focused on it. And for the first time in a long time, I finished a book that wasn't a novella or graphic novel in 24 hours. 

I loved every part, every page of this book. The main character- I immediately loved him. I didn't love the love interest at first, but slowly I started to.

And the family bond- I have a sweet spot for that. Especially siblings. Sweet siblings scenes. No idea why, I'm an only child. I adored Theo, I'm autistic myself. 

And then my absolute favorite part, the team. Look, I don't play sport, don't care much about soccer. But I absolutely love supportive teams in books and shows. And this team... wow. They all had each others backs. They're family. Amazing.

I 100000000% recommend this book!!!!!!
