It’s pretty good and Carrie soto is a ruthlessly competitive, ambitious, and focused player— which is exactly what you’d expect from a world class tennis player. She’s unlikeable, but it makes sense. Not all main characters have to be morally perfect.
I wish more of the character development was spread throughout the book. It felt concentrated towards the last 25%. I didn’t mind the tennis technicalities. It helps add logic and validity to what the main character does and how she practices. I liked reading about the development of her personality throughout childhood and early adulthood, leading up to the events of the story where she is 37.
