I've been lukewarm on previous titles from this author, but I so thoroughly enjoyed this! It was very interesting to see the themes of fame Taylor Jenkins Reid often plays with interpreted in an entirely new arena by writing a sports novel. I also found Carrie Soto to be such a fun protagonist to follow... I'd bet many will find her unlikable but won't be able to stop themselves from rooting for her. There is also a romance subplot that I found really well-done. Overall, a complete page-turner, the way books from this author so often are, and one with a perfect ending. Not always to my personal taste, but a definite good time and a worthy addition to the interconnected, fame-focused universe Taylor Jenkins Reid has created. I would recommend this to readers who enjoy challenging protagonists, family-focused stories, and fast-paced, plot-focused books.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.
