This series!! *clap emojis* I was so worried I wouldn't get into the other books because Ghost was so strong, but dang Patina's voice rang loud and clear in her story!! This had moments that made me laugh out loud, sit at the edge of my seat, and hold my hand over my heart over how endearing some scenes were. Love, love, love! Can't wait to read Sunny's story.

Another Track book, another open hanging ending. At least it started right where Ghost left off. I was SO not expecting his race to go like that....

More Defenders goofing and bonding. Found out so much about Patina and her fam. I love reading her POV with being the new girl, and the only black girl in her charter school. Her little sister that wants to be STRONG.

I am relieved and so glad Reynolds does his girl characters as well as his boy ones. I am disappointed in the other reviews saying Patina isn't as good and went too into the day to day. I think there's a lot of bias going on. It really it was the same for both. They only span a week, go to the same practices, go to school and sit at lunch, Coach coaches, etc etc.

I cannot wait for my hold to come through on the next installment!
