    3.5 stars This was such a fun and lighthearted read—perfect for when you want something cute and breezy with a splash of unique charm. I loved that pickleball took center court (literally!) in this romance. It was refreshing to see a lesser-used sport featured, and it added such a fun dynamic to the story. The chemistry between the main characters really worked for me. Their banter and attraction felt natural, and the narrator of the audiobook brought a lot of warmth and personality to the story—I’d definitely recommend listening if that’s your thing. That said, the ending (pre-epilogue) felt a little too quick and tidy, and the male love interest’s emotional shift from enemies to smitten was kind of abrupt. I wish we had seen a bit more of that evolution on the page to make the “love” part of this enemies-to-lovers arc feel fully earned. Still, this was a sweet and entertaining read that kept me smiling throughout. If you’re looking for a romance that’s a little off the beaten path (and you’ve ever found yourself wondering if pickleball could be sexy—spoiler: it can), give this one a shot.

    Oh my godddd I feel so lucky to have received this as an early reading copy 😭😭 this book is SO SO SO GOOD!! Truthfully have never felt so seen after following Sybil’s journey. She’s so relatable in an honest way. The chemistry between Sybil and the other two male leads is fantastic but the ending was perfection. Also.. dare I say miscommunication trope done right? Coming from me? A serious miscommunication trope hater??? This book changed me

    Is it just me, or is this book really slow so far? 😩 I'm trying to push through, but I'm honestly so bored. People say the series gets better, does it really? I need some hope to keep going T_T
