3.5

hi I got obsessed with the AO like I do every year and am up to date with all things tennis for the 2ish weeks of the tournament then promptly forgetting about everything until next year. decided to pick up a tennis romance!! this is about world no. 1 tennis girlie who is only a few slams away to break the record and a up and comer who is coming back from injury and they maybeeee fall in loveee🫶🫶 this was charming and because I was already v invested in the tennis aspects this was fun. I think all the queer relationship dynamics were done realistically but the race issues side plot felt a bit forced and straight forward and the relationship development was wild. likes the side characters and was a fun romance debut ultimately not super special. for a tennis fix I would recommend carrie soto is back way more! 3.5 stars
