Carrie Soto is fierce, and her determination to win at any cost has not made her popular.

By the time Carrie retires from tennis, she is the best player the world has ever seen. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Slam titles. And if you ask her, she is entitled to every one. She sacrificed nearly everything to become the best, with her father as her coach.

But 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, British player named Nicki Chan.

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.

In spite of it all: Carrie Soto is back, for one epic final season. In this riveting and unforgettable novel, Taylor Jenkins Reid tells a story about the cost of greatness and a legendary athlete attempting a comeback.

This was another PopSugar challenge for me. The prompt was a book about a female athlete. I’d really been dreading that as the only sport I like is NFL and there’s no females there. So this is one of my last few to fill in. However, I do like Taylor Jenkins Reid and I saw quite a few recommendations for this book so I figured I’d give it a shot.

Yes, there was a lot of Tennis talk. Rules, game talk, etc. that all went right over my head because I’ve never watched a match in my life. However the basis of the story is about one womans perseverance, a beautiful relationship with her father and her quest to open herself up for love.

I enjoyed her father so much. The fact that all he cared about was her happiness was just beautiful. Bowe and her were able to match each other’s truthfulness and testiness toe to toe. Truly a great match and the how much he cared for her father really got me emotional.

My favorite highlights:

Grief is like a deep, dark hole. It calls like a siren: Come to me, lose yourself here. And you fight it and you fight it and you fight it, but when you finally do succumb and jump down into it, you can’t quite believe how deep it is. It feels as if this is how you will live for the rest of your life, falling. Terrified and devastated, until you yourself die.
But that is the mirage.
That is grief’s dizzying spell.
The fall isn’t never-ending. It does have a ground floor.
Today, I cry for so long that I finally feel the floor under my feet. I find the bottom. And while I know the hole will be there forever, at least for now, I feel as if I can live inside it. I have learned its boundaries and its edges.

We live in a world where exceptional women have to sit around waiting for mediocre men.

Some men's childhoods are permitted to last forever, but women are so often reminded that there is work to be done.

🎶 I Was Here - Beyoncé

“I did not pick up a racket to grow tense and weary and afraid of failing. I picked it up to feel the joy of smashing a ball as hard as I can. I picked it up to spend time with my dad.”

TJR and Ballantine win the award for best release date of a 2022 book for the timing coinciding with this year’s US Open. Getting to read this incredible story with Serena Williams and Rafa Nadal playing on the court at the same time has been so fun. The story Taylor wrote about Carrie, Javier, and Bowe felt so real.

There is a lot of sports commentary and very, very detailed tennis talk in this novel. If you aren’t a fan, then this might not be for you! However I do think she did a good job outlining the basics of the sport, point system, and tournament styles! Each side character and opponent was so well-developed. This book has Taylor’s classic immersive writing style, complicated main characters, and really special relationships. The story of Javier and Carrie was so complex and raw and beautiful. It’ll make you want to hug your dad. Bowe was so patient, and I loved how he treated Carrie. While this was a story of an incredible comeback, a dedicated athlete, and a father daughter duo withstanding the pressures of pro athlete and coach relationships, it was also really just a story of a woman finding herself in our chaotic world. Carrie is unashamed and brass on the outside, but really quite vulnerable on the inside. I loved her. I loved the book. And I already am sad that this is the last of the little fictional world TJR has given us with Evelyn, Daisy, Nina, and Carrie. It’s been a really fun ride, and I’m so excited to see what she comes up with next.

5.0 out of 5 stars An epic novel about female ambition
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2022

I barely have the words to tell you how much I loved CARRIE SOTO IS BACK.

This is plotting as it’s finest! I was glued to the page, my heart racing each time Carrie picked up her racket.

There’s a lot of tennis in this book, yes, but there’s even more heart. I loved Carrie so much. I probably loved her the way her father did: watching her from the sidelines, praying that things would go her way, not sure how to bear it if they didn’t. I was DESPERATE for her to win, to make her big comeback. She’s a complicated character, but so easy to love.

Fierce and fiery, this in an incredibly powerful novel about female ambition, about resilience and determination, about refusing to accept less than you deserve. I think this book is going to be an emotional gut punch for any woman who has ever felt competitive or dreamed of the being the best at something. It certainly was for me.

The father-daughter story, too, struck a deep emotional cord. There’s so much love in this story. I had an emotional hangover after reading this book, unable to do anything but sit the big feelings it stirred. I’m tearing up just writing this note.

Daisy Jones was so special because it was TJR’s breakout and an inventive format. Malibu was the ultimate summer read. Evelyn was an incredible surprise. But I think this TJR’s best yet. CARRIE SOTO proves her to be a master of character, plot, and prose.

J'aimerais vraiment savoir quelle genre de drogue TJR a mis dans ce livre pour qu'il soit aussi addictif?? Parce que me faire aimer une histoire axée sur le tennis alors que c'est un sport qui ne m'intéresse absolument pas c'est fort, c'est très très fort. Carrie Soto est un excellent personnage, je l'ai juste adoré. Elle est déterminée, forte, bornée, et terriblement attachante. Elle sait ce qu'elle vaut et elle n'a pas peur de le dire, quitte à passer pour la garce sans coeur de service, alors qu'il s'agit seulement d'une femme pleinement consciente de ses capacités qui a travaillée dur pour arriver au sommet.

Son père prend une grande place dans cette histoire, on voit au fil des pages à quel point ils sont unis et à quel point ce père qui endosse également le rôle de coach tente de tirer vers le haut sa fille avide de gloire et de succès. Leur relation m'a énormément touchée, c'était vraiment beau à voir.

C'est sans hésitations mon livre préférée de cette autrice, un parcours de femme comme je les aime, avec une pointe d'humour et de sarcasme pendant tout le long, ça été une excellente lecture.
