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.
