Only Taylor Jenkins Reid could make me care about tennis.
I particularly loved how this book explored aging and womanhood. Carrie isn't exactly a likeable character (which is the point!) but she's easy to empathise with.
Unlike some of Taylor Jenkins Reid's other books (especially Daisy Jones), I wouldn't necessarily recommend the audiobook over reading a physical copy. It wasn't awful, but the main narrator's Australian and British accents are honestly not great. There were also quite a few times when the characters spoke to each other in Spanish and I would have liked to use Google to translate, but it's too much of a hassle when you're listening instead of reading.
