I don’t think I have ever read a book with such an intense “it’s complicated” when asked if the characters are loveable

Okay listen, if you have heard of this book series before, then you know it's reputation. It's a mess - a good old fashioned mess made up a weirdly cobbled together triggering plot points and tropes... and yet, I love these books with my whole heart. I love my damaged sports children in all of their beautiful glory. What can I say, I love a found family. Can I in good conscience, recommend these books? Absolutely not. That being said 10/10, would re-read a billion times probably.
