I don't know a whole lot about tennis, nor am I a big fan of the game, mostly because I don't know what the heck is going on with it. I mean, I'm not an idiot, I get the basics but honestly, that is about it. I don't even understand the whole "love" bit. But that was okay. I really didn't need to love the game or completely understand it to enjoy this read..thankfully, and don't get me wrong, I was a little nervous starting this knowing that I didn't have a love for the game or a deep understanding of it.Really this story is about three girls, Indy, Jasmine, and Penny and I must say, it was hard to pick a favorite but, from the very beginning I loved Indy. She just seemed innocent and kind and I knew with the heartbreak of her mom dying and putting her tennis career on hold, there was a great story there to be told and I wanted to discover it.I also couldn't wait to get more of Penny's story after reading the prologue. I had a feeling that I would really like her as well. I, unfortunately, can't say I ever really loved Jasmine. From the very beginning I had a feeling she was going to be a bit stuck up, rude, and not someone I would ever associate with. I knew there had to be a reason for the attitude, I just wasn't sure if I really wanted to spend the time to find out why. I know that sounds harsh but, there you have it.At any rate, I am glad I didn't give up on her and that I did read her story because you know what? By the end of the book, I actually liked her..a little bit. Okay, more than a little bit but I still don't love her, not yet, but I can imagine myself loving her by the end of the series.The great thing about this book isn't just Indy, Jasmine, and Penny, it is also the awesome guys that are a part of their lives too. Jack, Teddy and Alex are equally just as great and I really loved their differing personalities and role in the girls' lives. It really added something to the storyline that I think would have been severely missing if they weren't in it. I do wish once in a awhile we would have gotten their POV as well but I can understand why the author didn't go there. It would be a lot to write that many POVs and still be able to make the story a smooth one for the reader.Overall I really enjoyed this read and will definitely be continuing with the series. I need to find out what happens!![...]
