Love that this author took a modern trending sport and made it her own when it came to a love story. The book is cute and charming!

Thank you netgalley for this e-arc, this book is a quick and easy read. However I personally didn’t feel the chemistry between the two characters and found it to be extremely rushed almost insta lovey. The humour in this book was good and I did find myself laughing at times. This is a light read, without a heavy plot, just a palette cleanser book, whilst this isn’t my chosen genre overall it was still enjoyable.

3.5 ⭐ rounded up.

Do not come for me when I say this - but this book spoke sooo much about pickleball. Is it really that big a deal? Is there really anyone who takes this game so seriously (like a pickleball/tennis rivalry seems extreme).

Anyway, a very cute and easygoing story. Both Sebastian and Endy were sweet characters, although I'm really not sure if they knew enough about each other to fall in love.

Some small things:
1. I found this a bit of a boring way to describe the MMC: "...to find the most gorgeous guy she'd ever seen towering above her." - come on! I want to know why he's gorgeous. Paint me a word picture.
2. Sebastian was a terrible communicator - why were you hanging out so much with Sloane??
3. I know Sloane was supposed to be the villain, but I feel like she had so much going for her, that I wish she was the main character. Can we get her book??

Looking forward to reading Maria's story - I feel like this will cement the story more.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC. All views are my own.

This book is perfect for anyone who’s looking for a feel-good read that will leave you smiling. It’s charming, uplifting, and packed with that cozy small-town charm and the thrill of finding love when you least expect it.
