    Skipping Book 1??

    does it matter that I have not read book 1 of this series? everyone I know who has read both books always raves about this one and hates the first

    I adored this book. Although I found Carrie deeply unlikeable at times and thought she was making terrible decisions, I was still rooting for her throughout. I was worried the story would follow the trope where the older woman simply makes a path for the younger one to replace her, and I really appreciated that the book did not take that approach. Carrie is such a brute force. She is determined, passionate, relentless, and a true battle axe. I also loved how completely immersed I felt in the world of the book, especially as someone who has not watched a day of tennis in my life. The small time-specific Easter eggs were fun, like references to “the kid from What’s Eating Gilbert Grape,” as if that is not Leonardo DiCaprio.

    Ps. I love Nicki, and I am glad the story ended the way it did!! Hopefully they will be playing together in the cotswolds once she retires

    cute!!!!

    a very simple and wholesome story - a perfect beach (or i guess winter) read. however the writing was very cringey at times because what do you mean “she is ready to slay” and “mind blowing emoji” are actual lines in the book…
