Digest Carrie Soto is fierce and her determination to win at any cost has not made her
popular. But by the time she retires from tennis she is the best player the world has ever
seen. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Grand Slam titles. And if you ask
Carrie she is entitled to every one. She sacrificed nearly everything to become the best with
her father Javier as her coach. A former champion himself Javier has trained her since the
age of two. But six years after her retirement Carrie finds herself sitting in the stands of
the 1994 US Open watching her record be taken from her by a brutal stunning player named
Nicki Chan. At thirty-seven years old Carrie makes the monumental decision to come out of
retirement and be coached by her father for one last year in an attempt to reclaim her record.
Even if the sports media says that they never liked the Battle-Axe” anyway. Even if her body
doesn’t move as fast as it did. And even if it means swallowing her pride to train with a man
she once almost opened her heart to: Bowe Huntley. Like her he has something to prove before
he gives up the game forever. In spite of it all Carrie Soto is back for one epic final
season. In this riveting and unforgettable novel Taylor Jenkins Reid tells her most vulnerable
emotional story yet.
