Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I’d rate it a 6 if I could. The first book I cried reading in a really long time. Brb buying a tennis racket and heading to the courts (I have never played tennis in my life)

4 stars//Kindle + Audiobook//I started out reading this on Kindle but could NOT get through more than a few pages without falling asleep at night, so I decided to try the audiobook. This is the first TJR book I've read via audiobook and wow, was that a game changer! It was so well done. The characters all had their own voices, there were sound effects that made parts sound like they were actually a sports talk show, and it actually had me engaged with a book that I think I otherwise would've ended up DNFing. 
That being said - this is still a low 4 in terms of enjoyment and the story. Everything was very predictable and I wish there was more depth to some of the characters. I do think sometimes TJR books are overhyped (but NOT Evelyn Hugo! The BEST!!) and this is an example of that. However... will I read anything else this woman comes out with? Abso-freakin-lutely.

Loved this! Because I played tennis myself it really felt as though I was watching the matches from the stands. Did not like Carrie as a character in the beginning, but love the growth in personality!
