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.

The depiction of mental illness is a little iffy at times, and the way the author describes the effects of an anti-psychotic prescription drug doesn’t seem realistic to me (as I have never taken an anti-psychotic, I don’t know exactly what the effects are).
Its important to remember that this series is incredibly dramatic, and the content reflects that! It strays from realism a lot, and has elements that seem unrealistic, but if you view the series as a drama, it makes more sense!

PLEASE LOOK UP TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE YOU READ!! Its a great book and I encourage people to read it but ONLY if they are comfortable/able to read the content.
