THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the bestselling
author of MALIBU RISING, DAISY JONES & THE SIX and THE SEVEN
HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO 'There's something about Carrie I will take
forward with me in my life, and be a little better for. This book
comes out in a few short weeks and you should preorder it. It made
me cry twice, and when I finished reading, I had to sit for a
minute with the hole it left in my chest . . . just order it' EMILY
HENRY 'This Nineties tennis romp is a crowd-pleaser. Taylor Jenkins
Reid captures all the sweat, rivalry and glamour of elite sport'
THE TIMES 'A portrait of female ambition in all its raw and divine
glory, Carrie Soto will stay with you long after the last page is
turned' ERIN KELLY Carrie Soto is fierce, and her determination to
win at any cost has not made her popular. By the time Carrie
retires from tennis, she is the best player the world has ever
seen. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Slam
titles. And if you ask her, she is entitled to every one. She
sacrificed nearly everything to become the best, with her father as
her coach. But six years after her retirement, Carrie finds herself
sitting in the stands of the 1994 US Open, watching her record be
taken from her by a brutal, stunning, British player named Nicki
Chan. At thirty-seven years old, Carrie makes the monumental
decision to come out of retirement and be coached by her father for
one last year in an attempt to reclaim her record. Even if the
sports media says that they never liked the 'Battle-Axe' anyway.
Even if her body doesn't move as fast as it did. And even if it
means swallowing her pride to train with a man she once almost
opened her heart to: Bowe Huntley. Like her, he has something to
prove before he gives up the game forever. In spite of it all:
Carrie Soto is back, for one epic final season. In this riveting
and unforgettable novel, Taylor Jenkins Reid tells a story about
the cost of greatness and a legendary athlete attempting a
comeback. 'An exhilarating, immersive and gripping ode to the cost
of greatness, this is Taylor Jenkins Reid's best book yet. Carrie
Soto is an icon for the ages. Five stars, ten out of ten, an A+ and
more from me!' LAURA JANE WILLIAMS 'In typical TJR fashion, it
artfully combines the heady glamour of elite sport with questions
about what happens when we find ourselves winning professionally,
but losing personally . . . an escapist beach read' STYLIST
