Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid
5.0
I can’t express enough how much I’ve loved reading this book. If TJR is good at anything in particular, it’s writing about how complicated women can be and allowing them to have flaws and explore that. A well constructed story that helps you understand enough about tennis to appreciate the story without becoming a guide on tennis.
I also love when TJR does period pieces, which is weird to say about a book that ends in 1996, but that’s an existential crisis for another time.
Carrie Soto was a brilliant character, with Javier doing his best to steal the show. Beautiful father-daughter relationship, even in its highs and lows.
I hope that no streaming service takes this and ruins it with a tv show because good grief just let things been fantastic as they are. Every time I read the book club questions of any book and they ask who you would cast in the film version I want to throw my kindle into a wall.
