too much time spent on the parodoxes of teen minds

While enlightening the reader on such topics as hebophilic grooming; and the anxiety angst insecurities and despondency of teenaged feminity. This read became quite tedious, with a predictably unresolute ending.

Beautifully written memoir

Didn't know what I was in for when I started reading and many surprises along the way. The author's beautiful words paint such a vibrant picture of her childhood and the shocking story of her infamous (who knew) tennis coach.

Must read!

not what I'd hoped for

this was mostly a boring account of a Jewish girl from an affluent family living in New York and attending expensive private schools. Very little amount of time actually spent talking about Gary walensky and the events surrounding his ultimate suicide. I struggled to get through the first half of the book, but once I hit the halfway point I kept listening until I finished it. partially because it finally started getting interesting, mostly because of the sunk-cost fallacy of using a credit on this and having invested several hours in listening to it.

Whiny

The main character was whiny at best, pathetic and needy at worst. The story was anticlimactic at fizzled on delivery. The only audience I can really see enjoying this book are those who were extremely into tennis in the 80s-90s, or those longing for the nostalgia of their Manhattan prep school days, and the kids they used to make fun of.

sorry I wasted my sister's ONLY credit on this ,felt This Book Cheated Her, DAMN
