I regretted reaching the end of this book. Anne Lamott has just been added among my favorite authors.

There is no question Anne Lamott is a solid writer. I simply do not get enthralled in her books.I found the tennis vignettes almost tedious, and I love tennis. The characterizations are precise and definitive. Simply not my cup of insight!

Fairly conventional and predictable, yet well-written and touching coming-of-age novel.

Another one of Anne Lamott's gems! I love her book's characters because she develops them with warts and all, just like the rest of us! I always come away with some food for thought, no matter if I read her fiction or her nonfiction.

Fiction as good as Lamott's autobiographical works. Appealing, involving characters..quietly moving. An excellent read.

I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot more depth to it that I wasn't expecting.

This is the first book I've read by Anne Lamott. It took a few chapters before I could get into the characters but I did enjoy it and will look for her other books. Her characters are believable and the story line kept me going to see how things concluded.

At 13, Rosie plays a gangly, pigeon-toed second fiddle to her juicy, sexy friend Simone. The two are junior tennis champs who often cart home trophies. But driven by the gnawing fear that she's a loser, Rosie starts to cheat. Meantime, boy-crazy Simone dabbles in off-court disaster. Up in the bleachers a weird loner named Luther obsessively follows Rosie's games, while at home her mother wrestles her own demons.
