Fun and adventure abound in "My Best Enemy", a captivating tale about gaining the independence and self confidence needed to stand up for oneself. The story opens on discontent tennis star Vicky Wilding who, at the request of her overbearing coach, agrees to travel to Australia to compete in the pro circuit, along with her mother and bratty, but adorable younger sister. Despite suffering some unsavory run-ins with the Australian media, being paired up to play doubles with notoriously bad-tempered tennis rebel Scott Cameron, and even becoming lost on a harrowing journey through the Australian bush, Vicky eventually learns to come to terms with the pressures and rewards of competitive tennis stardom, while learning to open herself up to the possibility of romance. Aided heftily by its exotic locale and out of the ordinary subject matter, the novel overcomes its lack of realism with interesting characters and a memorable climactic scene.
