In spite of it all, Carrie Soto is back, for one epic final season. Like her, he has something to prove before he gives up the game forever. And even if it means swallowing her pride to train with a man she once almost opened her heart to: Bowe Huntley. Even if her body doesn’t move as fast as it did. Even if the sports media says that they never liked “the Battle-Axe” anyway. A former champion himself, Javier has trained her since the age of two.īut six years after her retirement, Carrie finds herself sitting in the stands of the 1994 US Open, watching her record be taken from her by a brutal, stunning player named Nicki Chan.Īt thirty-seven years old, Carrie makes the monumental decision to come out of retirement and be coached by her father for one last year in an attempt to reclaim her record. She sacrificed nearly everything to become the best, with her father, Javier, as her coach. And if you ask Carrie, she is entitled to every one. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Grand Slam titles. But by the time she retires from tennis, she is the best player the world has ever seen. If you love TJR and have enjoyed her other books, you are going to love Carrie Soto is Back.Ĭarrie Soto is fierce, and her determination to win at any cost has not made her popular. But once you get used to the sport and past the slow part, you will be golden. Thankfully, I've read a few books where tennis is the main focus (strange flex but I digress) so I understand the sport more than I used to. It was a slow start and there's a learning curve when it comes to understanding the world of tennis, which is what the book is about. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Carrie Soto is Back and devoured the book within a few days.
It's definitely in my top favorite books ever so when I saw that TJR was releasing her next novel, Carrie Soto is Back, this summer I was over the moon. When I read Malibu Rising last year it quickly became one of my favorites of the year and that still stands. I cannot get enough of TJR and I think she is a mastermind I put her in the same category as Taylor Swift because of the way she intertwines her characters and stories into one another. Taylor Jenkins Reid has quickly taken the world by storm and everyone is obsessed with her writing, including me.
