The Bitch is Back

Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

January 8, 2023 by Carriejay 6 Comments

Once the best tennis player in the world, Carrie Soto smashed records and claimed Grand Slam titles, but when her knee began giving her trouble, she retired, leaving it all behind. Or so she thought. Now there’s a new phenom on the court, Nicki Chan. She’s coming for Carrie’s record, so Carrie decides to come out of retirement to defend her title. She’s 37 years old, and if she wins she’ll be the oldest player do to so. But her body isn’t quite what it […]

“Falling in love is really quite simple. You want to know the secret? It’s the same thing we are doing about life every single day. Forget there’s an ending.”

Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

December 31, 2022 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

Reading, or listening to, the Taylor Jenkins Reid book “Daisy Jones and the Six” was one of my favorite reads of 2020; I still herald it whenever someone is looking for an audiobook, or a book, to completely fall into. Reid has the ability to write fiction so realistically that you forget that what you are reading isn’t the most engaging memoir of all time, but fiction. That was true about Daisy Jones and it’s true about this book. In Carrie Soto, Reid has rewritten […]

How many husbands might be too many?

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

December 29, 2022 by Sophia Leave a Comment

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (2017) by Taylor Jenkins Reid is our most recent choice for book club. I have to admit, I wasn’t super excited by the title, cover, or blurb. I’m only a little bit interested in goings-on of Hollywood, and the novel looked a little soap opera-y to me. Fortunately, it was better than I expected! I found Evelyn to be an interesting character who had no qualms in going after whatever she wanted. The story kept me reading, and her husbands […]

I adored this book, but also wanted to throw it at the wall

Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

December 29, 2022 by thegirlwhogotoverit Leave a Comment

How is it possible for me to have loved and hated this so, so much?  I’m utterly satisfied by the resolution, but at the same time, I want to throw it at the sliding glass door in the dining room. I’ve got a list of things that have never happened in tennis – the Aus open at Christmas?  “The game is Soto’s.”  Argh!  How has TJR researched what it’s like to play tennis well enough to be totally viscerally realistic, at the exact same time […]

Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

November 18, 2022 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

Carrie Soto retires from professional tennis at age 32 as the winningest player in the history of the Women’s Tour. However, five years later she watches in horror as her mark of 20 Grand Slams is tied by the younger star, Nicki Chan. Unwilling to let go of her most cherished accomplishment, Soto decides to come out of retirement alongside her father/coach Javier and take another crack at extending her record before Chan can surpass it. In Soto, Taylor Jenkins Reid has rendered an unusual […]

My first five-star TJR.

Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

November 3, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

Thanks to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for the ARC. It has not affected the content of my review. Oh, hey, look at that. Five stars. I think no one is more surprised about that rating than me after slowly making my way through this over the past two and a half months (this was written in August). But really, I was only slow because I didn’t expect to get this ARC, so I was reading it in between other books when I had time. But […]
