She’s a self-published creator who tends not to do very much promotion for her work, and yet this series-her debut series-went viral on the internet between 2013-2015 when it was released and was still making quite the impression when I discovered it in 2018. To be completely honest, there isn’t a lot of information available about Nora Sakavic as an author. But one thing that drew me to this as I was reading is that it doesn’t succumb to labels-it could be sold under a YA or sports fiction label, but there are so many other crazy things going on in this series, that you really can’t cleanly box it into one-or even two-genres. And that’s saying a lot, considering I don’t prefer YA contemporary or sports related fiction. I consider this series a guilty pleasure. People are either all for it, or they’re pitted thoroughly against it. With its fandom, there’s no in-between, really. When you sit down to read this series, you’re either going to love it or hate it. But I’ve heard many people describe this series and say, “It will feel like you’re reading fan fiction.” It ought to feel sacrilegious, like a book burning, to follow up a series on fan fiction with a book review, I suppose. At first, it felt odd to consider reviewing this series right on the heels of a series on fan fiction.
