Until Friday Night (The Field Party, Book 1) by Abbi Glines
Somehow the most unrealistic book I’ve ever read.
Of all the sci-fi and fantasy I’ve read (books with dragons, aliens, and time travel) this somehow manages to be the most unrealistic.
And honestly, that’s on me. I knew exactly what kind of book this was going in. I knew it would annoy me, that I probably wouldn’t like it. But it was short, already in my library, and I figured I could knock it out quickly. So I did. 🤦♂️
This book is peak high school fantasy, but not the good kind. It’s the kind that makes you wonder if the author ever actually went to high school. The depiction is just so off-the-rails inaccurate.
The romance? Way too emotionally intense for actual teenagers. The characters? Hyper-sexualized beyond belief. The dialogue? Drenched in melodrama. It feels like every single teen is locked in a competition to prove who has the deepest, darkest trauma. And it’s all taken so seriously that it borders on parody.
The most accurate thing in the entire book is the phase every character is in: peak teen angst, convinced their problems are worse than everyone else’s.
P.S. Don’t let the covers fool you. This series has nothing to do with football. 🏈🚫
