I hadn’t read a pickleball romance before I picked up Pick Me, but I absolutely am going to read more now! Sports romances are some of my favorites, and this book is an easy add to that list. Brooke and Owen’s dynamic on the court is so real, and I loved his gentle but firm coaching style. It felt so true to who he is as a character!
Brooke, as a ghost writer, is highly relatable to me. Her search for inspiration in others is toooooo real, and it made her an easy character to understand. I loved seeing her realize the inspiration was not coming from her crush, but from Owen & the way Owen treated her. It felt so true and fitting for Brooke as a character!
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a very real romance and the characters were so perfect together. Brooke and Owen are a couple I would love to hang out with, and I may have to try pickleball now… though like Brooke, I fear it may be an uphill battle at first!!
Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
