**This review is based on an ARC from Netgalley, release date 7/12/16.
Let me start by saying that I love this author, I have read all of her books since I first read The Devil Wears Prada and have enjoyed them all. I was excited to get approved for this one, and then I realized it was about tennis…which is something I am not remotely interested in. BUT, like any good author can do, Lauren made me interested in something that I normally wouldn’t be. I also learned a lot about the game of tennis, and it’s always fun to learn something new!
I love Charlie’s character and found her struggles relatable, even though I’m nothing close to being an athlete. I also liked the “Hollywood” factor that was involved in the story–gossip, affairs, and all. I also really liked Charlie’s brother, Jake, throughout the story and found myself rooting for him to find a happy relationship. I hated Marco, but could understand why Charlie was drawn to him–we all like the bad boy that everyone else wants sometimes.
Overall, I just really enjoy this author’s writing style: sometimes snarky and always entertaining. I am wondering if there will be a follow-up book…I would definitely be open to reading it if so. Another great read by an already great author! I will recommend to friends and family.

Enjoyable, good storyline, a bit different to a normal rom com. Just an easy read. Perfect for holiday
Ok, so I would like to clarify this 5* review by saying that sometimes you just enjoy a book so much you have to review it highly even if it is pretty terrible and trashy (in the best kinda way!!)
This really had the feeling of a chick flick rom com esque story. It was light and occasionally witty and had just the right balance of sport, romance, and frivolity. I've never read anything by Weisberger, but I've enjoyed the movie adaptations of The Devil Wears Prada. That feeling is definitely carried through this novel, and has made me intrigued by other things that she had written.
If you're a fan of the film Wimbledon then this little book will be right up your street.

This is the perfect brain candy book. There is nothing substantial to it. It's totally predictable, but it's perfect when you just want to read and get lost in a story that doesn't require you to think deeply about anything.
