    About this audiobook

    From the New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada and When Life Gives You Lululemons comes a dishy tell-all about a beautiful tennis prodigy who, after changing coaches, suddenly makes headlines on and off the court.

    How far would you go to reach the top?

    When America’s sweetheart, Charlotte “Charlie” Silver, makes a pact with the devil, the infamously brutal coach Todd Feltner, Good Girl Charlie is banished. After all, no one ever wins big by playing nice. Charlie finds herself catapulted into a world of celebrity stylists, private parties, charity events on mega-yachts, and secret dates with Hollywood royalty. But in a world obsessed with good looks and hot shots, is Charlie willing to lose herself to win it all?

    A sexy and wickedly entertaining romp through a world where the stakes are high—and no one plays by the rules—“the book zooms along in the great tradition of summer reads” (The Washington Post).

      This was a fun read, set in the world of high-stakes tennis matches. Charlie Silver is a professional tennis player determined to reach the top of her field, causing her to work with a stringent coach who drives her to go further and to play harder. But, amid the product endorsements and high-profile matches, Charlie starts to lose her own self, causing her to take actions she never would have considered before. Pieces of this story felt familiar, but in a good way and I got more into this book than I expected (I'm typically not a fan of anything about sports). It was also a little different from the things I've been reading recently and so it felt refreshing to me.

      I consider myself a pretty big fan of Lauren Weisberger's novels. She's one of the rare writers who is an auto-buy for me, but after reading The Single's Game, I'm not so sure that is the case any longer. To be frank, I found the book to be boring. At first I thought maybe it was all of the tennis, but after some reflection when sports books are done well, I usually enjoy them. I think then that the issue lies with the main character. She seemed to be very two-dimensional and cliched. Honestly, the book may have been more entertaining had her father been the main character. The other issue I had with the book is that the Charlie didn't actually grow, she just went around in a circle. Where the novel ends is more or less the same place where we started. Overall, I'm sorry to say that this is the weakest of Weisberger's novels and as a result I may be more hesitant in picking up future titles.

      Professional tennis player Charlotte "Charlie" Silver decides it's time for a change after she suffers an injury on the court, and hires a new coach. He's accomplished and in demand, but he's also nasty, abrasive, and pushy, and he quickly decides that what her game needs is less niceness and more warrior spirit, and that what her career needs is a fiercer and fancier new image. Meanwhile, Charlie wonders whether her casual secret affair with a hot male tennis player is ever going anywhere or not.Confession time: I am so not the reader for this book. I knew that going in, and I decided to read it anyway, for reasons that made some sort of sense at the time. But the truth is, I am profoundly, deeply indifferent to tennis, and I neither understand nor particularly appreciate the obsessively competitive mindset of the professional athlete. And while some of the main character's experiences -- fancy makeovers! sleeping with a movie star! being invited onto a luxury yacht! -- are surely fun wish-fulfillment fantasies for a lot of people, they're really not mine.And when you take away all of that stuff... Well, okay, there actually is still something left. Charlie is a fairly believable character, even if some of the things that happen to her are less so, and she does have some development. That, and the fact that it's a pretty quick and painless read, actually left me feeling less bored than I sort of expected to. Which I know is pretty faint praise. But, honestly, I think people who are genuinely interested in tennis, and whose tastes tend more to the "chick lit" end of things than mine are likely to find it pleasantly entertaining. Me, I found it readable but not especially interesting.
