Carrie Soto Is Back illustrates a whole new view of the art of tennis. Tennis is not only a sport but a lifestyle, a lifestyle that Carrie Soto demonstrates every day of her life.

Although the character Carrie Soto is only fictional, her strength, motivation and ambition demonstrated within this novel forges an inspirational figure. Those who sacrifice time to escape reality and enter Carrie Soto’s world of competition and devotion to the sport of tennis will fall in love with the person she is written out to be. 

Taylor Jenkins Reid, walks us through the story of Carrie Soto and her love for the game of tennis. The storyline starts young with Carrie’s desire to constantly be out on the court with her father as a child. As Carrie Soto progresses and improves overtime, she allows her hobby of playing tennis to become her career. This career soon leads to a lifetime of fame for one of the world's greatest tennis players of all time (fictional). Carrie Soto is not only a phenomenal tennis player, but she is also brave, heroic, powerful and self-assured in herself, as well as her ability to conquer any challenge thrown at her. 

There is truly not enough praise I can give to Taylor Jenkins Reid. Reid’s style of writing is so addictive you simply can not put her books down. When reading Carrie Soto Is Back you escape into Carrie's world where Tennis is the priority and everything else is in its shadow. Not only am I recommending this phenomenal book, but I am also pushing you to try multiple books by this author, Taylor Jenkins Reid who will forever alter your view on reading no matter where you are now.
