“The world is full of holes and uneven seams, wrinkled places that you can’t make smooth, no matter how hard you try.”
Can I get a whoop whoop for Maguire’s lover? (Totally inappropriate but heck, he was charming as heck!) Anyone wants to get me ice cream? The first part of the book focuses on how Maguire comes to terms with settling herself into school and joining the tennis team, only to meet this charismatic guy who, unbeknownst to her, is a tennis star. Determined to move on and go against what the universe has in store for her, Maguire takes on challenges that would ultimately get her out of her shell and embrace life again.ĪND ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS TO MAKE THE SCHOOL’S TENNIS TEAM. Either that or she’s the laughing stock of the universe because she has had experienced several traumatic life events, one of which left her fatherless and brotherless. Maguire (such a unique name for a female protagonist) believes that she’s bad luck. Here’s the lowdown of what you can expect from Girl Against the Universe. How can I properly express my enjoyment of this book with mere words? Because I never expected to like the book that much, let alone, end up loving it after I flipped the last page!
Ooh, congratulations to Novak for claiming a Career Grand Slam and Garbiñe for winning her maiden title!īack to Girl Against the Universe. How clever of Harper to release this book during the clay court season, with Roland Garros just around the corner. So, calling all tennis fans! Eek, finally a book that centres on tennis! Like, hello, sunshine! Check out that gorgeous cover. The cover is of a girl laying down on a tennis court with a racquet at her side. If you have seen the glorious cover of Paula Stokes’s Girl Against the Universe, you would immediately think of tennis! Well, duh. Maguire knows that the best thing she can do for Jordy is to stay away, but staying away may be harder than she thought. But then on her way out of her therapist’s office, she meets Jordy, an aspiring tennis star, who wants to help Maguire break her unlucky streak. Like that time her brother, father, and uncle were all killed in a car crash–and Maguire walked away with barely a scratch. No matter how many charms she buys off the internet or good luck rituals she performs each morning, horrible things happen when Maguire is around.
