this might be the greatest improvement between books i have ever seen in a series. i didnt love the foxhole court but this blew me away. every character was infinitely more fleshed out in this book and the pacing fixed itself to present a compelling plot throughout. this book is heartbreaking in a hundred and one ways but it makes you fall in love with the foxes so deeply. this really was the start of the end for me when i knew thered be no coming back from aftg brain rot

It’s horrible, it’s amazing. I hate it, I’m obsessed. I have zero interest in most sports, I am DIYing a Palmetto State Jersey. My Lock Screen is the Foxes’ logo. I made a bookmark with the team’s lineup and logo. I was in a horrible reading slump for almost a month and absolutely devoured this in three days. They’re evil little monsters with mountains of trauma out for their own survival, they’ll self sacrifice and murder for each other without a blink. The team is finally learning to come together just as they’re being torn apart. They don’t give two sh*ts. They care so f*cking much. The odds are so high against them it’s impossible. I can’t wait to watch them destroy everyone at semi-finals. 

The content warnings are almost as long as the review, the list keeps going. And yet… 

Reading isn’t enough. I need to inject this into my bloodstream. 
I cannot recommend this to any of my friends. I am desperate for someone to infect with it. I need someone to go insane with me.

this book has all the same issues as tbe first book, along with most of the story being told in info dumps. I still hate the treatment of Andrews' character, and the handling of Nickys' sexuality. Also I truly thing the author should've done at least a bloody google search about what psychosis is, because clearly she has no idea what it means considering how wrongly she uses the word. 
I did enjoy the story a bit more than the first book but I still can't bring myself to rate it anything over a 2. Why the hell I'm rereading this is truly a mystery.

This is the second book I’ve read this year with this title. Coincidence? I think not.
