"Taylor Jenkins Reid has done it again! Carrie Soto Is Back follows a legendary but unpopular tennis player as she comes out of retirement to attempt a comeback. Unable to stomach her Grand Slam record being beaten, she brings her dad back as her coach and trains with a former rival. Alternating between flashbacks and present day, readers discover the cost of fame, the struggles of being a female athlete, and that it’s OK to fail sometimes. Its release coincided with Serena Williams’ final matches, which made it even more interesting to read about another late-career female tennis star showing the world what she can do."
