Jason Reynolds is the definition of an autobuy author. Characters are great, always pop off the page. Great pacing and flow. ALL THE FEELS. I just cannot get over the open endings. Like I get it, but I don't like it. After I finish its always frustration and pain not knowing exactly what happens next. At least for this one, it's a series! There is hope!

Ghost is super relatable and adorable. One of those pinch his cheeks and a slap types.

My only thing with this one is Coach should've stepped up and did more before Ghost did stupid shit. He KNEW he didn't have racing shoes or practice gear but just let him use jeans and hightops 4 days a week. I am disappoint Coach.
