Sports plots aren't usually something that draws me, but the team dynamics, and the sports obsession as a background and driving motivation for the characters worked out very well.
For anyone interested in this, please check out content warnings first. The first book is already intense but starts comparatively tame. Going to include content warnings for all books in the series for this one.

"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.
