I don't usually get so drawn in to contemporaries so this one impressed me. Big feelings about anxiety and family pain.

A really well written look at the author's fight against ableism during his masters program with flashbacks to some earlier life instances and a little epilogue.

Goodness that was spicier than I expected! Very sweet characters and love the illustration style, also a nice plot and loved how the classism in the Women's Rights movement was addressed.

Interested to know what other people think of the anxiety rep in this. As someone with anxiety who has done a lot of introspection and also read a lot about it I have found myself trying to psychoanalyze the MC to figure out the origins of his anxiety issues. Very interested to see where things go in the rest of the book.

Super horrified by Eddie's experience with care aides not being allowed to transfer without a hoyer lift (and also apparently not being willing to even when the lift was available until pressured into it by a doctor). Wild as someone who was trained to transfer by hand in nurse's aide training (in the US, while Eddie's experiences happened in the UK). I wonder if this is still the case for caregivers in the UK as this was published a year or two ago and the events took place a few years before that.

I really enjoyed the two student main characters and the loads of info that was communicated without being boring or taking away from the fiction aspect.

I really liked what I knew of the characters and I also enjoyed the worldbuilding and the loads of action. I did think it was ultimately too fast paced without time to dwell on characterization or look at how all the action was affecting our characters, and ultimately found the scenes of villainous plotting boring. I liked the plot, though, and plan to continue the series.

I think this story was very well done even if I'm not sure I totally understood it.

So I've gotten farther in and it is a little less of a slog. Still not enough development of dramatic moments imo, but more overall development has happened.

I don't usually like sports romances but I think this one being more about the politics and team dynamics instead of actual gameplay made it more for me. Anyone else?

I follow the author and so have heard the cover was designed by Ganzeer. Anyone else love the brightness and general cover design?
