What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Carrie Soto is the greatest player the world has ever seen.

But six years after her last match, she watches a young British tennis player steal her world record - and Carrie knows she has to go back and reclaim her rightful place at the top. Even if the world doesn't believe in her. Even if it almost breaks her.

This is a story about the cost of greatness and the burden of fame.

The fight for a place in history is about to begin . . .

Critics Review

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!

Laura Jane Williams

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

Emily Henry

Fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid will adore this

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

Independent

Compulsive . . . A voyeuristic glimpse into the lives of the sporting elite

I absolutely loved this. Carrie Soto is a great study in what you have to give up and neglect to be the best of the best. Her emotional immaturity and stunted personal life are contrasted by her being the top of her game. The plot is extremely traditional and predictable but you're so invested in the characters it feels like a great comfort read. Best book this year so far
