3.5

It's been a while since I read these books. The writing is not amazing and it has a lot of faults. AND YET I devoured this within about 24 hours. I do appreciate the fact that this book mostly sets up the next two books. I like these early iterations of the characters less, but also that is the point, to see how they develop over the series. Especially

Andrew on his meds

is just much less appealing to me as a character, compared to later in the series. 

This does mean that I'm looking forward to the next book(s)! 

I do have to say, that the writing definitely already picks up towards the end of the book, from

the showdown at the tv show

on you already get a good idea of what the next two books are going to look like, as far as character dynamics go.

"We're talking about a sport, not a death match."
"Same difference,”

the book is a fever dream but i'm invested af and i low key love them.

college sports romance but add in mafia crime families, mental illness, and drugs.

came for the violent fictional sport, stayed for the evil twin.

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

3.0

On both subjective and objective levels, this book had many problems, some of which bothered me greatly, others which didn't, except on a few occasions. It had many flaws, but I had fun with it. It's bizarre. It's all over the place. It's short but could've been shorter. The characters are very over the top. Some concerning things are glossed over that should not be so (ableist and homophobic language, a SA scene, nonconsensual drugging to name a few), and you should be aware of this going into the book.

If I was Neil, and thankfully I'm not, I would've left the foxes at the very least after Eden. Most of them are not good people, which can be attributed to their trauma in most cases but does not make everything they say or do okay in any way. I care for them as fictional people but would not want to be associated with them in real life.

This book is not for everyone, and it is a MUST to read the trigger warnings cause there are MANY.

I will read the rest of the series because I care about the characters, and it was a fun read because of how ridiculous it was.
