#The foxhole court book 2 series
He is one of the few characters in the series who is tall.
Despite this, Andrew is secretly intensely attracted to Neil, who eventually reciprocates. Belligerent Sexual Tension: Andrew takes every opportunity to tell Neil he hates him and wants to kill him, while Neil is often frustrated by Andrew's difficult attitude and apathy.He teaches this skill to Neil, who has an interest in maths, over the course of the series. Awesomeness by Analysis: A large part of Kevin's success on the court comes from his ability to calculate the exact angles and trajectory his shots need to hit precise targets.It's the first time she sees him as more than a loudmouthed, aggressive jerk, heralding the start of their relationship.

The concept of Exy was interesting to read and despite the weirdness of the plot, I liked how realistic the characters were. I originally gave this book 1 star but it was like 12 at night when I finished it so I slept on it and decided a 3 rating was more suitable. I enjoyed the plot, but I had bigger problems with issues like rape jokes and homophobic slurs within the book that made it uncomfortable to read. To be honest, it’s hard to explain this whole book because so much happens and would spoil the book immensely.
The lie that has kept him living for five years begins to break under the pressure of his new teammates and the truth about him could get him killed. But Neil is on the run from his father, an abusive man in the mob, and signing a contract with the PSU Foxes should be the last thing Neil should ever do. It’s extremely popular and the only thing that makes Neil happy. The Foxhole Court focuses on a fictional sport called Exy, which seems like a mix of lacrosse, hockey, and some other sports I can’t quite remember. I didn’t like certain aspects of the novel, but overall plotline interested me enough to actually want to continue the series. Having just finished this, I must say that I’m not exactly sure what to say about this book.
