I was given a copy of this book for an ARC of its updated re-release.

While I read and couldn’t put this down today, I had to keep reminding myself that this was Keira’s first book, 15 years ago no less. It is engaging from the beginning, and I appreciated when the MC’s connection was established because it made the conflict later in the book all the more painful but expected (not in a bad way, it’s foreshadowed). I won’t lie, if you don’t know and enjoy tennis, you might not follow a lot of this book, but I happen to LOVE tennis and the scenes where there are games aren’t too long but create its own kind of suspense which just adds another layer to this book. I also really appreciated the interludes from the commentators perspective. So unexpected but cool.

This read a lot like a 90’s romance movie and I am so here for it. Congrats to Keira on this re-release. It truly is an amazing debut novel.
