Carrie Soto Is Back: From the author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (California dream (crossover) serie, 4)

Product Information

At 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. Even if the sports media says that they never liked “the Battle Axe” anyway. Even if her body doesn’t move as fast as it did. And even if it means swallowing her pride to train with a man she once almost opened her heart to: Bowe Huntley. Like her, he has something to prove before he gives up the game forever. Carrie is competitive, fierce, strong, brave and the best tennis player. And she knows it. She knows her potential, so she works hard to win. Because she loves to win. The author chose to make Carrie’s character with many imperfections, and her character arc is deliberately created in an imperfect way even though she is a world champion to make the novel more realistic. I loved how the author decided to raise her voice against sexism through her characters. Still, I wouldn't say I liked a few of the statements told by Carrie. I will share one quote told by Carrie here.

A fascinatingly realistic look into the world of elite sports where driven and flawed characters' private lives are just as intriguing and controversial as they are on the court Business Post I think this is my favourite Taylor Jenkins Reid book so far, my love for her writing just grows with every single novel that I read. Reid captures the excitement of elite sports in her descriptions of Carrie’s games, as well as the struggle that women athletes face when their ambition and confidence is ‘too much.’ It’s another triumph for bestselling author Reid, and her growing number of fans . . . ” — Booklist (starred review)
