Thrilling, transformative, fun! The middle dragged a bit, but this was a great read. Fantastic capture of the tension in competitive sports, how time slows and stretches during a match

Started off really strong, but felt like it faded for a while in the middle. I think there was some lost focus trying to give enough attention to side characters, but solid writing overall.

What a surprise, another TJR 5 star book. I am in awe with how well she writes. She knows how to make loveable characters that are human beings and have flaws. I don't bawl my eyes out at books for no reason, and this is not am exception. I may not understand tennis but I could relate to Carrie in so many ways which made me love her even more. Don't get me started on Javier, I'll start crying. The book is so well written, so well structured. I loved Bowe and I loved Nicki. This book is phenomenal. I could not recommend it more. The only thing I have sort of negatively to say is that it dragged a bit at the start, but i demolished the last 75% in 3 hours. I recommend this book to everyone.

acho que a tjr perdeu um pouco do charme nesse livro. gostei da carrie e dos personagens mas não tanto quanto gostei de personagens de outros livros dela.
fiquei extremamente entediada com os jogos pq não entendia nada, não queria pegar no livro de jeito nenhum e peguei raiva da Carrie por estar sendo uma babaca da metade do livro em diante, msm sabendo q era pro desenvolvimento dela (pq aliás não ficou parecendo viu)
fora isso, a autora n sabe ditar o ritmo do livro. demora uma eternidade pra achar uma pessoa pra jogar contra ela, mas em 40% do nada ela consegue sparring e gente pra jogar facilmente, os jogos que ela perde são narrados por páginas e os que ela ganha a gente só descobre pq algm narrador falou q ela ganhou 50 jogos de uma vez.
também achei q o desenvolvimento da relação dela com a nicki ficou mt pro final então não ficou tão boa quanto poderia ser, além de ter deixado o final super corrido e o desenvolvimento da carrie ter passado uma vibe meio livro de auto ajuda, dá quase pra falar q a taylor tava trocando idéia com o autor de a biblioteca da meia noite
apesar disso deu pra se divertir um pouco com a carrie mandando tomar no cu todo homem que aparecia na frente dela
