I liked this more than I thought I would originally. Sports/discussion of sports usually aren’t my cup of tea but TJR really knows how to engross the reader in the story. I did find Carrie to be pretty insufferable for a lot of the book, but I absolutely loved the relationship with her father and she did become more tolerable towards the end.
I do think there were a few tidbits that I will take away completely unrelated to tennis that I found to be profound.
I also really liked the dynamic between Soto and Chan, and the presence of strong female characters.
Overall, a really enjoyable, quick read that I think anyone who likes TJR’s writing style will appreciate. The references to her other books were really fun as well.
