And then there's all of the tennis talk. I played tennis myself, I understand the game. I much rather watch it then read about minutely detailed training sessions or match rallys.

Carrie Soto is an absolute bitch and I respect her so much for that. Her inner thoughts about winning & losing changed so beautifully over the course of the book and really spoke to me.
(Idk how tennis works tho) (made the whole thing a bit anti climatic at times)

All said, I will gladly continue to grab whatever Reid writes next, because again: compulsively, addictively readable!
