The Foxhole Court: 2/5


  “Hope was a dangerous, disquieting thing, but he thought perhaps he liked it.”

Premise:
The Foxhole Court follows troubled Neil Joston, who is on the run from his murderous crime lord father, The Butcher. He's never stayed in one place too long until he gets recruited to the Palmetto State University Exy team. Although the team is the worst in the NCAA, it is highly televised and the worst possible place for Neil to settle in. 

Neil isn't the only one who's keeping secrets though, as he gets closer to the team, he may have finally found a family to rely on.

Writing & Plot:
I'm honestly unsure why so many people loved this book. I felt like nothing happens the entire time, and it's Neil's everyday life trying to keep his secret, but he's awful at it. I think where this book fell short, for me, was that it feels extremely unbelievable. First of all, if Neil has been on the run for the past 8+ years, you would think he would know how to hide his identity better. Furthermore, everybody on the Foxes team makes no sense. It's like Nora Sakavic did absolutely no research on the troubled lives that she wrote. 

For example, one of the teammates named Andrew is on anti-psychotic meds, making him high. That doesn't happen, and I feel like no NCAA would allow someone who needs that level of psychiatric help on any sports team. I also believe this representation is extremely harmful to those who actually take anti-psychotic medication. 

Most of this book didn't sit right with me, and I feel like Nora Sakavic portrays the extreme trauma the boys went through in a harmful way. I wish the author did some research before writing this book.

Characters:
Besides Andrew's character, who was abysmal, I think they were fine. I finished this book for the characters, although none of them were developed particularly well. There are so many characters it isn't easy to keep track of them all and their positions. I continuously was forgetting who was who and forgetting the various relationships and beef between all the characters. It's a lot in such a small book that it is challenging to keep them all separate. 

Conclusion:
I feel like everybody, and their mother loves this series, but it isn't for me. From the harmful stereotypes to the lack of believability of the whole team, it was an unenjoyable read. I probably won't continue this series, and I don't recommend it either. There are plenty more sports romances that are way better than this.

I thought it would be a 3.5 for most of the book but those last chapters immediately bumped it to more of a 4.25 lmao. I’m SO FREAKING exited to keep reading this series 😭🫶🏽💗

trixie

i’m finishing the trilogy but make no mistake. this book made me so uncomfortable

Not gonna lie I was hella confused while reading this first book in the series. There were so many names and backstories that got me so confused and intrigued but as I'm approaching the end I got myself hooked with the story.

Great first book for a trilogy.

This book was not for me. I seriously wanted to like it but it was too unrealistic for me. The writing style also didn't connect with me so I had to struggle through to the end. This isn't a hit against the author or the book, it just wasn't my type of read. And, that's totally okay! We all have books that everyone else loves that we just can't get into. That being said, read it for yourself and make your own informed decision on whether you like it or not.

One out of five stars.

Decided to delete my original review bc it was trash
I love my boys so much. It was so interesting reading this back and understanding it so much more. The first time I was so confused by everyones motivations and why they were the way they are. Makes a lot more sense now.
