This was a fun YA! Readers are immersed in the world of elite tennis through the perspectives of three teen girls. Alice, grappling with grief and uncertainty after the loss of her father and coach, Violetta, navigating the pressures of being a social media influencer and living up to her mother's expectations, and Leylah, determined to prove herself on the court despite family resistance and personal setbacks.

Set against the backdrop of the Bastille Invitational Tennis Tournament, each girl faces her own challenges and struggles. Alice questions whether tennis still holds a place in her life without her father, Violetta wrestles with the future her mother envisions for her, and Leylah fights to overcome obstacles and prove her worth as a professional athlete.

As the girls navigate their individual journeys, themes of friendship, ambition, and self-discovery emerge. Through their experiences, readers are invited to explore topics such as grief, identity, and the pursuit of dreams.
