This book is absolutely beautiful. In the most painful way possible. Though it doesn not make sense at times, it captures Jeans start to his healing jearny wonderfly. It will break your heart, make you angry and sad. But it will also warm your heart at times. When you get to see a wholesome moment. And it will also make you smile or even laugh thanks to the hilarious coments some of the Charakters make. All in all. I love it. 2nd time reading it and it was even better than before ♡

This is technically vol. 4 of the "All for the Game" series. After the trilogy, it now continues with Jean's story, and I think it's going to be another trilogy. I personally wouldn't have needed a sequel, but I am really glad it exists now and excited for the story to continue. So, idk where to even start. This book had barely any story in that sense. The first, like 100 pages, was just the end of volume 3 in Jean's POV. Still important to see his reactions and get his feelings and thoughts about everything. That is also what most of this book is, feelings, thoughts, and the resulting conversations. After what we already knew happened, this is now about Jean getting to know his new team, the Trojans, especially Jeremy, who also has many POV chapters. Around the end is more drama, but other than that, there is not much plot. So you might be wondering what is even happening throughout the whole book? The answer is trauma, trauma, and trauma. Jean's mind is in a dark place and justifiably so. We get much more insight of the abuse he had to face from the Ravens. I didn't think I would be able to hate Riko even more, but here we are. As sad as it was, it was interesting to read since it was well written. You could think he must be happy to be out of that situation, but that's not how it works. At first, he even wanted to go back. When all you know is to endure and the only place where you know how to gets taken away from you, it's inevitable to feel lost. He doesn't believe he deserves anything else, and I felt so sorry for him, but he is slowly getting better thanks to the people around him. It's also interesting how the abuse is described. It's never super detailed and sometimes rather vage when it just gets dropped out of nowhere, I had to reread many lines to be sure I understood that right, but that makes it even more shocking. Also, since you think you knew everything about it from the other books, but we never got to hear details from Jean, and his position was a different one. These books are really only for people who can deal with those topics (read the trigger warnings) and don't mind character driven stories. For me, both are not a problem, and I enjoy them a lot. I am also excited for the hinted at slowburn romance 👀💕 I just hope it's not getting too dramatic overall because we already had a happy end, and I don't like it when it gets destroyed after the original ending. Of course, Jean's story is still ongoing, but I liked the end for Neil and don't want him to get too mixed up in this. He and Kevin appeared a few times here since they are all involved in the same problem, but I can't imagine it getting as big as in volume 3 again. Well, we'll see 😅
