A content warning for mentions of child abuse, that are, in the context of the scene, incredibly vague and emotionally unimpactful, seems really unnecessary. Im all for knowing what youre getting yourself into, but nowhere in that scene is abuse explicitly described—at most, it’s implied, and thats being incredibly generous. If you’re gonna mention it in the content warning, make it worth the reader’s time

I can push thru a lot but what is the actual narrative purpose of moving Miami from March to JULY??? Mid tournament at best and you’d be splitting up the sunshine double?? You have Toronto and Cincinnati before the us open, and both characters would have to attend at least one. A THIRD 1000 before a slam is ridiculous. MIAMI in JULY. people will DIE. belief = suspended

Do Coco Gauff and Ilya Rozanov know that they have daughters in this book? Daughters as far as the eye can see
