There is something so unique about how this author can bring so much to stories I wouldn’t have blinked twice at. A really good read - perfect for the summer!

The romance is very sweet and isn’t a distraction from the story, rather it adds good emotional depth to the characters, and I’d go so far to say that it’s my favourite pairing out of all of TJR’s books I’ve read so far (second to Evelyn and Celia, of course!) The tennis scenes are surprisingly gripping and not as repetitive as I’d feared they’d be, and the integration of news columns and interviews perfectly illustrate the double standards for ambitious women in sport - particularly women of colour. I’m in no position to judge the accuracy of the representation in this book, but it is definitely important that these kinds of stories are told. More please!
