Carrie Soto Is Back
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
TJR truly does not disappoint. I ate this book up!
I loved how beautiful and realistic every single character was. Carrie Soto had a much smaller cast compared to other TJR works, and it lent itself to even stronger (maybe better?? if that's even possible) characterizations than in Malibu and Daisy. Every scene completely jumped off the page. While sport was central to the book, I didn't feel overwhelmed with having to understand sport to the level Carrie or any other professional does. TJR made even the minutia of a sport I've never played or followed approachable. It was absolutely delicious.
My only note was that sometimes I could not believe some of things Carrie and Bowe did/said at their ages, but honestly that was kind of the whole point. And they turned out all the better for it by the end.
10/10 absolutely loved it
