Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid
4.0

I have to start with this - the audiobook is just captivating. For me, tennis has just been one step above golf in terms of sports I'd want to watch, but this definitely changes things. Between the dynamic sports broadcasts and Carrie's inner dialogues during games, you can't help but be invested. Did I scream when it ended? Absolutely. But let's be clear - Carrie is not a particularly likable character. And maybe that's part of her charm - she doesn't CARE about being liked. I wish that we'd gotten to see more of Nicki and Bowe throughout, but the story overall worked very well as is. Plus Carrie just has so many good quotes, my favorite being "I will hold their beating hearts in my hands". What a boss ass bitch.
