I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I honestly loved this book. Vaughn is super dreamy and it really makes this book enjoyable. Carlyn is such an amazing character and you end up routing for her the whole time. I don't know a whole lot about tennis and I was worried that I might not like the story because of it. But not understanding tennis didn't affect me at all. I actually kind of learned some things about it!
Thanks to NG for the ARC! Super cute summer romance between two tennis players, Carlyn has had a crush on Vaughn so she accepts when he offers her a partnership plus coaching in a summer tennis camp for underprivileged kids. They hit it off and become c;loser but they are not supposed to fraternize at camp. Vaughn's coach works with both of them trying to convince Vaughn to go pro and Carlyn that she can make her college team. Sparks fly and then everything comes out leading to a cute but pretty predictable ending. Quick adorable summer romance read!
'Courting Carlyn' is a first class swooning material. Carlyn is offered a holiday job as a tennis camp coordinator together with her long time crush - Vaughn, a tennis champion. The camp has some strict rules like no fraternizing which is a bit of a shame since Vaughn is sporting a nice set of abs. They are both crazy about tennis and both are in some way disconnected with a family member which brings them together fast. It's a book not only about love but also about family issues and who we really are. Vaughn is the best tennis player but he doesn't want to go pro, what he really wants is to have a home to come back to, the sense of stability, while Carlyn wants to join her university team in order to feel reconnected with her late mum. Will they achieve their goals and find themselves along the way? It's for you to find out. I really enjoyed the book and I highly recommend it to anyone who fancies YA books about love, sports and interesting characters.
