It's only been in the last few years that I have really started hearing about the game of pickleball in general, though I have yet to play. So when I was looking for a sports themed fiction book, that wasn't terribly popular, I found this one. The decision to read this one was made easier by the fact that it was also on display at the library I was visiting.

There were a few moments/descriptions that I thought were a little cheesy, but still funny regardless. I enjoyed the banter and the atmosphere made me want to start planning a trip out to Washington to visit for a few days.
