What Members Thought

I first met the feisty Carrie Soto in “Malibu Rising” where she was a minor role player. When it was announced that she will be getting her own book, I was quite intrigued – who would not like to discover more about this firecracker? What is making her tick? And why is she so freaking pissed off all the time?
And that is exactly what you get in “Carrie Soto is Back”. This driven, ambitious, and intensely competitive woman at the core of this book will be loved or hated. Initially I found her arro ...more

Carrie Soto is trying to win back her title after leaving the world of tennis. Taylor Jenkins Reid gives us a character that is strong , competitive and closed off to love and friendships. Her journey to Wimbledon and the US Open is filled with finding her true self & happiness . I enjoyed the book but I did feel like it lagged when describing the tennis matches. Thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to read this copy.

This author always writes books that I think I’m not going to like, but end up liking immensely. She has such a way of creating characters, and her words are always so simple, and yet so effective.
A wonderful story, beautiful characters - I really enjoyed this book.
