An entertaining and terrifically readable foray into the ultra competitive world of professional tennis. Likeable and friendly Charlie needs to gain a competitive edge to break into the top ten, she takes on a beast of a coach, but can she retain her soul as she attempts to fight her way to the top?
It really feels as though you’ve joined the inner sanctums of the tennis tour, I was by Charlie’s side and firmly on her side as she practiced, played and partied her way from country to country. Charlie has extraordinary abilities, yet feels very human, she makes mistakes yet is still loveable.
Lauren Weisberger, writes with a crisp, clear style, highlighting the grit and determination required to make it to the top, while also allowing free reign to the glitter and glamour on show. Even if you can guess the ultimate destination, it’s still a journey well worth taking as this a lovely hit of escapism and a perfect get away from it all read.

PRADA: it's a match made in hell. How far would you go to reach the top...? When Charlotte 'Charlie' Silver makes a pact with the devil, infamously brutal tennis coach Todd Feltner, she finds herself catapulted into a world of stylists, private parties and secret dates with Hollywood royalty.
Under Todd it's no more good-girl attitude: he wants warrior princess Charlie all the way. After all, no-one ever won by being nice. Celebrity mags and gossip blogs go wild for Charlie, chasing scandal as she jets around the globe.
But as the warrior princess's star rises, both on and off the court, it comes at a high price. Is the real Charlie Silver still inside? Sweeping from Wimbledon to the Caribbean, from LA to mega yachts in the Med, The Singles Game is a brilliantly entertaining romp through a world where the stakes are high - and no-one plays by the rules.
