once again, not reviewing in depth because i swallowed all three books consecutively and literally cannot for the life of me tell them apart, but i still want to leave some notes. namely:

-neil's speech for rico at the banquet? i just know riko went home and had one of his lil fits then got in bed and cried i just know it and i love it for him

- "they were piecing neil together and building a real person arund all of his lies"? that so fucking raw. like oh my god im still affected

- the lil moment between kevin and neil after the first time they actually work well together in the court? my absolute fuckin BABIES I WOULD DIE FOR THEM clack your lil racquets in celebration for the rest of forever

- i know theres no romance in sight per se but neil putting andrew's hand on his belly under his shirt while everyone's watching... peak romance im telling u

- neil going deer-in-headlights anytime anyone does anything kind for him both delights me and breaks my heart

- anyways theyre my babies and i love them so very much
