so-soI suspect this book was intended to be about friendship with a look into addiction as a mere subplot. Perhaps more broadly, it told the story of intense people who pour their whole selves into what they do, be it their sport, their profession, or their relationships. I read it, however, as a book about loneliness. The author, Abraham Verghese, wrote himself into this book. Surprisingly, to me, he was the most lonely character of all.
This book could be an inspiration to young girls about dreaming, and then chasing your dreams and working towards success.
pickThis reminds me of the recent movie that came out. But the illustrations in this book were awesome and it was nice to hear the story in a different way.

I wouldn‘t use this book in my classroom
so-soI really liked reading this book. I knew the basics about the Williams sisters but not much details so it was interesting learning more
Now onto my dad‘s Christmas stocking book. 🤣
