The tennis action was fantastically written, even for someone like me who barely understands the rules. I also like the sports media stories and commentary interspersed throughout. This booked moved. By the time I got to the middle, I couldn’t put it down.
This was my third TJR book and by far my favorite. (Saving Seven Husbands for last in this four book universe because I heard it was so good.) I think it being written in first person helped me connect better with the main character. Highly recommend this to anyone who appreciates strong character development, comeback stories, and/or inspiring sports action.

Honestly, I loved it. I was reading the book as if I was watching actual tennis matches, literally on the edge of my seat. I loved the little cross-overs of the other books in the TJR Universe.
