“Gorgeous. The kind of sharp, smart, potent book you have to set aside every few pages just to catch your breath. I’ll take a piece of Carrie Soto forward with me in life and be a little better for it.”—Emily Henry, author of Book Lovers and Beach Read


ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, NPR, PopSugar, Glamour, Reader’s Digest

Carrie Soto is fierce, and her determination to win at any cost has not made her popular. But by the time she retires from tennis, she is the best player the world has ever seen. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Grand Slam titles. And if you ask Carrie, she is entitled to every one. She sacrificed nearly everything to become the best, with her father, Javier, as her coach. A former champion himself, Javier has trained her since the age of two.

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 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 her most vulnerable, emotional story yet.

Another great TJR book!

I’m not much of a Tennis enthusiast, but since I’m a TJR enthusiast this deserved a chance. While it is tennis heavy, the character development is top notch, and the writing can easily be understood for any person whether you can appreciate tennis or not. While Carrie is next level passionate, her drive is contagious, and the development of her character is admirable. Worth a read!

Surprisingly boring

Not what I would have expected from a TJR book. This was incredibly boring. It would make sense if this was a biography, but there’s no real plot here. In my opinion, the outcome is exactly what you think will happen from the beginning. The main character is not likable and her connects with people don’t really grow at all. 2 stars because I like her writing style and I didn’t hate it… it just was boring.
