I was really nervous I wouldn’t like this book because TJR is my favorite author, but I’m not a sports book person. Also Malibu Rising is one of my all time favorite books, and loving Nina so much, I found it hard to believe that I would be able to love Carrie too.
But oh my god, do I love Carrie Soto. She is so perfectly flawed and badass and defied what women were “supposed” to act like without a care. She is hard and cold in the best ways, and watching her soften and open up in certain aspects of her life was amazing.
I truly loved this book, and found myself getting anxious and stressed at every match, unsure of how the next game was gonna play out.
