Sunday Book Club: The Singles Game

Note: I receive an advanced copy of The Singles Game for review in exchange for an honest opinion. As always, all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Something Good!
 
With Wimbeldon being this weekend, I figured that today was the perfect time to post about The Singles Game by Lauren Weisberger.
 
 
 
When America’s sweetheart, Charlotte “Charlie” Silver, makes a pact with the devil—the infamously brutal tennis coach Todd Feltner—she finds herself catapulted into a world of celebrity stylists, private parties, charity matches aboard mega-yachts, and secret dates with Hollywood royalty.
 

 

Under Todd’s new ruthless regime, Charlie the good girl is out. Todd wants “Warrior Princess” Charlie all the way. After all, no one ever wins big by playing nice.
 
Celebrity mags and gossip blogs go wild for Charlie as she jets around the globe chasing Grand Slam titles and Page Six headlines. But as the Warrior Princess’s star rises on and off the court, it comes at a cost. In a world obsessed with good looks and hot shots, is Charlie Silver willing to lose herself to win it all?”

As you might know, I haven’t had the best luck with some of the big books of the summer and women’s fiction. They’ve been entertaining-ish and engaging-ish….but nothing that I would really want to pass along. 
 
This one though? I would definitely pass it along. Weisberger is amazing at creating protagonists that you can continue to cheer for during the highs and lows. After all of my bad luck with main characters, I honestly kept waiting for Charlie to do something that made me dislike her…but it never happened. I sympathized with her and found myself hoping that she would succeed. It was a refreshing change of pace after disliking so many protagonists.
 
The Singles Game really makes me wish that I hadn’t already put out my beach reads list, because this would definitely be on it. If you’re still looking for a book to pick up this summer, go grab this one right now. It’ll keep you entertained during those sunny days by the pool.
