Another TJR classic - I don't know how she manages to write such complex characters so well. After reading Malibu Rising, I was very apprehensive about Carrie Soto as a character, but I have been proven wrong. The thing I enjoy about this book, and others within this universe, is the ability to really present the humanity of characters; the main characters are not this picturesque perfect person that does the objective right thing at all times, they are human beings.
The other thing I really enjoyed about this book was the truly beautiful father-daughter relationship: the coaching, the arguments, and the unconditional love for family despite all. It was very refreshing to read about. I am not sure I am in the position to comment on the background of the character but this book somehow perfectly incorporated my love for Spanish with the minimal knowledge I had of tennis, and made it very enjoyable!
I've been putting off Seven Husbands until I read all the other books in the universe so I am happy to finally be able to move onto that one!
