I love how this book really allows you to focus on the game, with any romantic scenes being closed door. Also just amazing character development.

TJR’s stories are so readable to me… I just get so engrossed in them. She really excels at humanizing unlikeable, messy female characters, exploring the pitfalls of fame, and bringing peace to her characters by the end. It’s predictable at times, but the joy is in getting there. By the end, you feel like you went through this comeback with Carrie—and all the triumph, sorrow, and relief that goes with it.

How can an author make you love and hate a character ?! Well Taylor Jenkins Ried did just that with Carrie Soto! There were moments where I loved Carrie and there were also many moments where I could not stand her! This just made me enjoy the book even more!! 
I learned a little bit about tennis, competition , relationships and may have cried along the way 🥰😭 
Another solid read by TJR!!

Now I need to read through her backlist of books 📚
