Unforced Error

By: Juno Reardon

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Hadley Crewe wakes at six-thirty every tour-day morning and calls her father. On a good morning Walt knows she is calling from Melbourne or Paris or Riyadh. On a bad morning he does not. Hadley has been managing the bad mornings for four years, in press conferences and tactical-experimentation excuses and the polite smile she has been photographed in since she was sixteen, and she has told no one on tour.

Macaria Cordeaux has hated her on principle for three years.

Mac is world #6, Yorta Yorta, foul-mouthed, brilliant, and certain — until the apparel deal she is certain Hadley's mother torpedoed in 2022 turns out to be a thing Hadley genuinely did not know happened. Mac has built her professional identity on a wrong, and the wrong is about to walk into the resort suite she is sharing with Hadley for the year-end finals in Riyadh.

Two weeks of forced cohabitation. One sectional sofa. One cushion that slides. Two women who have been certain about each other for entirely different reasons.

The grudge is the easy part. The thing underneath the grudge is what neither of them knows what to do with.

Tour Year, Book 1 — pure off-court enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and the kind of slow-burn screwball with a knife under the table that makes you miss your stop.

Flow was off

The author repeated the characters name too many times. You lose the flow of the story with the continuously saying the characters name every other word is the character’s name. It’s just too much.
