Critics Review

Praise for Thirty Love:“Electric on the court, tender off it. Thirty Love is about choosing yourself—and then choosing each other. Vellner’s insight crackles and the writing truly delivers. Leo and Gabe’s journey is a queer romance grand slam.”—Sarina Bowen, USA Today bestselling author of the Hockey Guys series“Tom Vellner’s debut is not only pure rivals-to-lovers bliss but also a masterclass in what it means to be your own champion. Leo’s journey on and off the tennis court will grip your heart and refuse to let go until you’re smiling with tears in your eyes and cheering as though you’re there in the stands—a grand slam of a novel!” —Matthew Hubbard, critically acclaimed author of The Last Boyfriends Rules for Revenge “Filled with queer banter and slow burn shenanigans, Thirty Love explores how sometimes, we need to change our playstyle to reach the top of our game. Delightful from first serve to final matchpoint.”—Tara Tai, author of Single Player
