"[Jaimet's] first-person descriptions of the hero playing a tennis
match are well-researched; the ring of authenticity and the
concurrent sub-plots work well with the story's main focus."--

"Filled with fast-paced action...The chapters that describe
different tennis matches are particularly well written, with the
reader feeling as if they are standing right next to the court. If
you love tennis (like me) the scenes outlining the back-and-forth
volleys and rushes towards the net are a joy to read. Even if you
are not a huge tennis fan, or for that matter a sports enthusiast,
these scenes are still a lot of fun."-- "Apartment613 blog"
"Jaimet has written a fast-paced story from a first-person
narrative. She easily explains the rules of the game whilst
maintaining the excitement of a match and conveying the adrenaline
rush a player feels during competition. Pre-teen and teen boys will
find Jaimet's adrenaline-soaked descriptions of the matches to be a
fast and exhilarating read. However, what is most commendable about
the book is the character Jaimet has created in Connor. She
bypasses a flat, stock jock-character for a more mature young man
who contemplates morality and how it would translate in action...An
engaging story filled with vivid descriptions, insightful
characters and a fast-paced plot line that will appeal to pre-teen
and teen boys."-- "CM Magazine"
