A review by aksenerezgi
Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

4.0

I wasnt looking forward to this book much in the beginning because i was expecting it to be about winning, ambition, resilience and all that, which i thought i wouldn’t resonate with much. But it turned out to be so much more; it was about a beautiful father daughter relationship, with all its ups and downs; it was about the internal battle of learning how to accept, to live, to show your emotions, and that i ended up relating to a lot. I also thought I didn’t care much about tennis until the passage where Soto wins Wimbledon; the slow, descriptive writing made the moment feel so raw and emotional, and i was truly surprised that Reid could make me care so much about a heroine and story i thought i wouldn’t like in the beginning. Probably one of her best works.
