Must read 🏆

I refuse to believe that Carrie Soto isn't real.

This was my most expected book of the year. And it did not let me down.


I don't know exactly how TJR had me glued to my book, feeling anxious for some matches that weren't real, played by tennists that are not real, but it feels like they are. I don't understand shit of tennis, to be honest, and one of my friends taught me a lot about it, so I was watching all of the videos that he was sending me, lmao.


I can't put into words how great this book is. I'm speechless.


Carrie is competitive, fierce, strong, brave and the best tennis player. And she knows it. She knows her potential, so she works hard to win. Because she loves to win.


TJR's writing style is wonderful as always. She knows how to grab your attention and keep your eyes glued to her books. Her writing styles is so addictive and fast paced. You don't even feel the time flying!


I loved Carrie. She's stubborn as hell, selfish, grumpy at times, but brilliant. She knows how to play, how to make strategies, how to attack, how to deffend herself and when to do it. And after all, she's human.


Amé que hablaran usando el "vos" y no el "tú", lo cual me hizo sentir identificada porque en mi país nos voseamos en vez de tutear, y aaaah, se sintió como un respiro. We stan.


I liked Carrie and Javi's relationship. They were a great duo, despite everything. He was the real strategist and had a really good eye and mind for tennis.


Bowe was really sweet and idiot at the same time.


Carrie finally understood that it's okay to lose and to find someone who's actually better than her at tennis, and not to hate her for it, but instead, see the beauty in Niki's style.


I was very emotional towards the end, sobbing so bad because of Javier, but rooting all the way for Carrie and Niki, and also for Bowe.


I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN VERY WELL HOW THIS BOOK MADE ME FEEL. I'M STILL PROCESSING!
