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.

Welp. I did not expect for that book to speak to my soul in ways I can’t even explain. This book is an intimate character study of what it means to be the “greatest” at something. The pressure, the drive, the grind. It’s about being true to yourself. It’s about learning that change is okay. It’s about the deepest griefs and the brightest joys, and how they can co-exist. It’s about what happens when we tie our self worth to something we can’t control. It’s about winning, and losing, and being your best every day. It’s about relationships, especially that of father/daughter. And, yes, it’s about tennis. And it’s messy. And I LOVED it. Listen, I love Daisy, Evelyn and Nina so much. When Malibu Rising came out, I declared it to be my favorite TJR to date. But, y’all. ... MoreWelp. I did not expect for that book to speak to my soul in ways I can’t even explain.

This is very boring and I feel I wasted a holiday read on it! Gave up half way in. Pace is so slow and there isn't character or plot development. The 1st Taylor Jenkins Reid book I've really disliked.

Loved all her other books, could'nt put them down but this one. Have to keep going back to it hoping for her usual magic. Will it happen. Stuck half way through at the moment.
Really enjoyed this book and diving in to the world of a sport professional. Not an emotionally investing book but enjoyed the storyline and the characters, especially the father.Good holiday read.
I found this book to be both exciting and exhilarating. Carrie Soto is a tennis player who has loved the game since she was a child and has been playing ever since being coached by her father Javier. She literally has given her life up for tennis. She hurts her knee and retires being the greatest woman tennis player. Six years past and Nicki Chan breaks Carrie's grand slam record and Carrie makes a decision. She 37 years old and decides she has to get back on the court and claim her fame back. This story is captivating and so well written. Carrie is a character you love and hate at the same time. Just like the media who writes about her. This story has family relationships and love relationships. You keep reading because you are excited to see how this all plays out ... MoreI found this book to be both exciting and exhilarating.

I highly recommend.Thanks to #netgalley,#ballantinebooks and @tjenkinsreid for an ARC of the great read.
Reid hits it out if the park with her newest novel about the retired, aging, tennis star, Carrie Soto, who returns to the game for one year to win a Grand Slam and regain her record. This novel is a fantastic study of human nature and touches on motivation, determination, resilience, triumph and defeat. Carrie's comeback year is filled with changes that will have an everlasting effect on her life and the reader will go away with a sense of satisfaction!
If you like tennis you will definitely like this book. It was like I was watching games sometimes rather than reading about it. Great storyline too! Finished it within a week.
This book is so different and so good! I'm now a tennis fan! Lol. I'm loving everything from TJR lately!
I knew nothing about Tennis before reading this. The characters Taylor Jenkins Reid brings to life couldn’t be any more different from me, yet she has this gift that makes each one seem so relatable, so human (Even when I didn’t much enjoy the writing style/format, like with Daisy Jones & The Six). They are simultaneously ordinary in what motivates, frustrates, angers them and special in what they accomplish. Carrie Soto, a tennis star past her prime who decides to come out of retirement to defend her record of most wins, is no exception. Within the first few chapters, I was invested. “When did I lose that? The delight of success? When did winning become something I needed in order to survive? Something I did not enjoy having, so much as panic without?” This quote ... MoreI knew nothing about Tennis before reading this.

Within the first few chapters, I was invested. “When did I lose that? The delight of success? When did winning become something I needed in order to survive? Something I did not enjoy having, so much as panic without?” This quote really stuck with me. If you’re a perfectionist who has high standards for themselves, I’m sure you’ll relate to Carrie Soto. Even if, like me, you’ve never played Tennis a day in your life. The chip on her shoulder that motivates her resonated with me. There is a lot of Tennis, which got a little repetitive at times, but it’s not about that. This book is about a person who dedicates her life to one goal that consumes her, and how that affects her relationships. The Tennis stuff was cool, though, regardless. I learned a lot of stuff I would have probably never known without this book, but it never felt like reading an instruction manual. Everything flows well and I flew through this book quickly because I couldn’t get enough.
