I give this book a 3. Reasons? Well here we go. This book had a lot of teenage drama. Another thing I didn't read this book just because. I read it because I won it in this library thing.

I really like tennis so I am reading this and it is really good so far! The only bad thing is that there is some swearing and just some parts I didn't think they needed to put in...that's why I gave it 3 stars.

This is a great book for athletes because it shows how hard it can be to balance a "regular" life with the dream to make it as a professional athlete. Friendship, dedication, first love, and family relationships are all explored in this fast read.
