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*
This Nineties tennis romp is a crowd-pleaser. Taylor Jenkins Reid
captures all the sweat, rivalry and glamour of elite sport
*The Times*
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*
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!

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

*Stellar*
Just like Carrie Soto, it's such a thrill to watch Taylor Jenkins
Reid get better and better . . . she uses fame to illuminate the
battles every woman has to fight - and in doing so, makes the
reader feel powerful, too
*Caroline O'Donoghue*
Addictive, fun and heartwarming. You will never want to leave
Carrie Soto
*Fearne Cotton*
Not every woman worries about winning a Grand Slam, but many can
likely relate to Soto's challenges with getting older, wanting it
all, and trying to manage a fiercely competitive spirit when the
world expects women to stay quiet and smile nicely. It's for these
reasons you find yourself rooting for the star, in spite of an
attitude which isn't about endearing herself to others. Jenkins
Reid has written yet another page-turner which will have you
hooked, from the first serve to match point. 9/10

sporting elite

Back, is released just in time for the dying days of summer on
Tuesday 30 August. I must get a trip booked
