Entertaining and predictable. The tennis aspect was very interesting. It did its job well--light read that didn't require too much brain power and kept me awake when necessary.

Interesting tennis stuff made up for predictable and hasty ending.

More distasteful language and scandal than I cared for but I’m a sucker for a story about my favorite sport.

For some time now I was done with the genre chicklit. This story refounded my enthousiasm for the genre. The book is well written and quick paced. I really enjoyed it!

Kept me entertained enough, wanting to see what would happen next. Ultimately, the story lacked any surprises or big hits.

Very blah chicklit with a not so likeable main character and a rather boring plot. It is a quick and easy read, though.

If you want a book full of unlikeable characters (im not just talkingabout the trainer, mainly the main character), slutshaming and fat phobia this is for you.
The writing about the tennis World was nice but the actual plot was really bad.
If you have ever seen tennis you know that there is a great diversit with female players. Not only in nationalities, but in skin color and size. Really this book gave me the feeling that the author admires Sharapova and tinks taht all the player are blonde súper model type Russians.
Talking about Russians, why was there such an emphasis in the slut shaming of Natalia. And of all the women really. They are adults who can have sex with consenting partners.
