I stayed up to finish this book and it was a literal dumpster fire but I still liked it... I guess? It doesn't get any less absurd, of course, and never really makes a lot of sense. People are just being murdered left and right for reasons that don't fully get explained, but crime lords gonna crime lord, eh?

The whole attempt to entangle the exy team with a crime syndicate still makes no sense nor does the fact that there was supposedly a coach but for some reason

Riko was running some sort of torture dungeon through the team and no one gave a shit.

I still don't really get the romance in the book at all either. Angsty romance is fine and all, but it never seemed like the chemistry was there.

One minute it's like Andrew would kill for Neil and the next he has no emotions whatsoever. I feel like it would've made more sense for Andrew to be more receptive to a romantic relationship over a physical one, at least to start with. But even by the end, it didn't seem like there was a lot of feeling there at all. I dunno. I just don't really buy it. I'd have to know more of Andrew's mindset to really understand how that's supposed to work.

It's 5am, this review probably makes no sense. This reminds me of Twilight, I think, in that it's a huge mess but I still kinda like it anyway.
