This book took me by surprise by how much I enjoyed it. The writing was captivating, I couldn’t put it down. Even though this is a “sports book” there were so many heartfelt and gut wrenching moments- maybe that’s what sports is and I am separated it from lack of involvement?  The ending was very satisfying as a reader though I wouldn’t say it’s HEA. Looking to continue the series in the future. Content warnings *child death*
