Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Format & Condition: Paperback, New
Genre: Historical Fiction

At thirty-seven, retired tennis champion Carrie Soto watches a rising star threaten the record she sacrificed everything to earn. Determined to reclaim her place in history, she returns to the court with her father as coach, confronting younger opponents and the question of who she is when she isn’t winning.

Winner of the 2022 Goodreads Choice Award for Historical Fiction, this novel comes from the author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I recommend it for its fiercely ambitious heroine, moving father-daughter relationship, and comeback story that makes every match feel personal, whether or not you follow tennis.
