Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Carrie Soto is the greatest player the world has ever seen.

But six years after her last match, she watches a young British tennis player steal her world record - and Carrie knows she has to go back and reclaim her rightful place at the top. Even if the world doesn't believe in her. Even if it almost breaks her.

This is a story about the cost of greatness and the burden of fame.

The fight for a place in history is about to begin . . .

Critic Reviews

A portrait of female ambition in all its raw and divine glory, Carrie Soto will stay with you long after the last page is turned (Erin Kelly)

An exhilarating, immersive and gripping ode to the cost of greatness, this is Taylor Jenkins Reid's best book yet. Carrie Soto is an icon for the ages. Five stars, ten out of ten, an A+ and more from me! (Laura Jane Williams)
There's something about Carrie I will take forward with me in my life, and be a little better for. This book comes out in a few short weeks and you should preorder it. It made me cry twice, and when I finished reading, I had to sit for a minute with the hole it left in my chest . . . just order it (Emily Henry)

Another winner from TJR

This book made me smile and cry. An insightful glimpse into pro tennis and the mental and physical preparation required to get to the top. Also a beautiful tale of growth and acceptance which are lessons we can all relate to.
Absolutely loved this.

Another hit for Jenkins Reid

Admittedly I am a fan of Taylor Jenkins Reid, but this book was still great. It had a little bit of everything you want - a little drama, love, heartache and tennis to pull it all together. Enjoyed this one

Enjoyable but disliked the narration.

The story was enjoyable, shame about the narration. The narratiion of the 2 main parts, Carrie and Javier was irritatingly over acted. Both the Australian and British accents were so terrible though, laughably bad. I don't understand why they didn't hire a Brit or an Aussie to read those parts.

I don’t even like tennis…

And I’m loved this book. Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of my favourite authors which is the only reason I chanced reading a book centred on tennis - a sport I’ve always found a bit confounding. But I absolutely loved it… the energy and suspense are amazing and somehow TJR makes Carrie - a character who is hard to like - not just likeable but someone you can relate to and empathise with.

Good

This is the first book from this author I’ve read. And I like it. The story has more substance then chick-lit/romance.
Given the pace of the book, I think it may suit an audiobook better than reading on paper. (It contains a reasonable amount of narrative around tennis matches- if you hate sport this is not the book for you).
Of special note is the terrible Australian accents- you know the type- what the rest of the world thinks Aussies sound like until they actually meet an Australian talking normally- a cross between Steve Irwin and a 1930s Bristish private school boy. But these accents are thankfully brief, and don’t subtract from the story.
