Oops I’m responsible for my algorithm, and I messed myself up with this one…
This book could’ve easily been half the length with a better editor: quite a few chapters were regurgitated scenes that I’ve just read but done in another supporting character’s POV. The adults in here suck, and a lot (if not all) of their decisions were implausible. CPS should’ve been called on all of them.
Tedious reading.
Bonus 0.25⭐️ because I actually got to learn a bit about rugby 🏉
