Penny Harrison, Jasmine Randazzo and Indiana Gaffney are all part of the world's most elite training facility, the Outer Banks Tennis Academy (OBX). All three girls are under enormous stress to perform well during the upcoming tennis matches. Will they be able to cope or will personal matters cloud their professionalism?Game.Set.Match is the first book in a series. I have read a lot of books that consist of more than one book lately, which I really enjoy. It feels as if the reader gets to know the characters really well and grows with them.In Game.Set.Match each chapter is told from a different point of view (from each of the girls). I loved that the story was still ongoing and didn't lose its fluidity. This way, the reader gets to know the characters from all angles.Jennifer creates an amazing and electric atmosphere in the book, especially when she describes the tennis matches. I am not a tennis fan, (in fact, I don't know anything about this sport at all) but I found myself speeding through the pages and holding my breath in anticipation to find out who would win the matches. I have hardly ever come across a book, that captured the atmosphere so realistically.Do I have a favourite character in the book yet? I don't think so. All three girls have something really intriguing about them, so that I cannot make my mind up just yet. One person, however, who has really grown on me is Jack (Penny's brother and manager). He is so sensitive and caring.For me, there is the right mix of romance, gossip and deceit (which I love so much) in the book. I am definitely a fan of the OBXers and cannot wait for the sequel of the book.
