Sixteen-year-old Katrina is counting on this tennis season to reconnect with her pro-athlete dad who has been MIA since her parents’ divorce. But when the girls’ tennis team is cut, her high school coach signs her up for the mixed doubles tournament — with none other than Vince Kim, the most popular guy at school.

It’s a guaranteed disaster.

She doesn’t know how to talk to guys, much less spend hour after sweaty hour playing tennis with them!

Individually, Katrina and Vince play amazing tennis. Together, it’s total chaos. They bonk heads and miss easy shots. But Katrina is hell-bent on making their partnership work and reaching the finals before her dad walks out of her life forever.

As the season unfolds, Vince’s steady presence and unexpected thoughtfulness chip away at Katrina’s walls. As the line between friends and teammates (and maybe more) starts to blur, Katrina wonders if their relationship could ever be real… or if it’s just for the game.
