I absolutely loved this book! Carrie Soto is my favorite Taylor Jenkins Reid character now! This book follows a minor character from Malibu Rising and delves into her tennis career and comeback. Reid is amazing at crafting realistic characters and setting them in historic moments.

While I love this book I do see how others might not. Tennis and sports in general are a huge focus, so if you’re not into tennis, sports, or character driven stories I could see how this book could be a struggle. Fortunately for me I love tennis, sports, and all the characters in this story so it was a blast. I highly recommend the audiobook, it made the matches feel so real and the rivalries come to life with the sportscaster dialogue.
