This one took me a longer time to get into than her other books. Maybe it was the mostly unlikable main character? Or that I'm not super into tennis? But by about halfway through it got me. I was up until 2am finishing this. I don't think any of her other books have made me emotional, but I was really emotional during a later part in this one! And for a long time too. I honestly didn't think I'd end up enjoying it as much as her previous works, but I did in the end.

Taylor Jenkins Reid continues to surprise and enchant me. I will read anything written by her. This latest book, Carrie Soto is Back, is all about tennis. I'm not generally drawn to books about athletes or sports, but I couldn't put this down. I'll probably watch more tennis in the future, which is not something I could have imagined.
