I played tennis a total of two times in my life. I hated it.
But I trust Taylor Jenkins Reid and she did NOT disappoint. This was so much fun to read.
You know those books that you need to read 50, 100 or so pages to really start to get into them? This is not one of them. I was hooked from page 1.
The writing and characterization are, once again, incredible. Carrie is not the type of character that I particularly relate to, but I found myself very much inspired by her. I felt a sense of connection, of understanding to her.
Carrie Soto Is Back is about winning and losing in all of its forms and all that comes in between.

It was great getting to know Carrie Soto and what drives her. After reading Malibu rising I did not really like Carrie. And after reading this book I am still not sure if I do. But I understand her motivitations. This book shows the complexity of humans and that even when they appear to be cold hearted and mean, the can be so much more and that they are still capable of having feelings. We tend to forget or ignore that when we dislike someone, but knowing why they act the way they do, it brings a new perspective. And I love the way Jenkins is able to portray her as this whole person and really let the reader belobe that she is a real person and the we truly know her inside and out.

This book has saved me from a long reading slump. It was so enjoyable and the characters all felt like real people. I think every TJR book is better than the last this may be one of my favorite books ever. I may become a tennis fan now because the way she writes the games I want to watch one now.
