A review by blossomsleafylibrary
Game Point by Meg Jones

emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

I absolutely inhaled this book and couldn’t put it down. It was the perfect blend between the sports aspects and relationship building, mixed with funny banter and emotional moments. 

I’m so glad we got Dylan’s story after meeting her in Clean Point. She’s an amazing character and had such a great arc throughout the book. I especially loved that Game Point focused on the mental aspect of tennis and how she worked together with Oliver to build up her confidence in the finals. 

The relationship between Dylan and Oliver was definitely more of a slow-burn, which I loved! They are friends first, with both in a sport that can make people feel a bit lonely on the road, though you can tell that there is always tension simmering between these two before anything happens - it was *chef’s kiss*!

This was also an amazing book 2 for a series of interconnected standalones. It was so great to see Scottie and Dylan’s friendship develop and get the glimpses of characters from Clean Point while also not giving too much away for people who may read the books in a different order. 

I would recommend this to everyone who loves a good sports romance with friends-to-lovers, funny banter and well-writren characters. 

Thank you so much to Michael Joseph Penguin and NetGalley for the ARC. I’m already so excited for book 3!
