I love tennis so I obviously had to pick up this queer romance about two stars on the WTA tour who go from rivals to lovers over the course of a season! This was also a reminder I need to stop choosing books without reading the synopsis because it had a ✨magical✨ element in which people’s soulmate’s name appears on their wrist like a tattoo so these two are also fated mates (lol) and they know it! Personally I could have done without that but it was interesting and you might like it! You can pick it up and read it just in time for the U.S. Open!
