Okay, let me just say I love Taylor Jenkins Reid....BUT this book was not for me. It was about tennis. ALL about tennis. I just didn't care about tennis or Carrie...so I gave up and DNF'd it. I will read her next book, this one just wasn't my cup of tea.
Дуже класна книга. Став розбиратися більше в тенісі. А сама книга про жагу до перемоги любою ціною і що коли ти на вершині це не означає, що ти щасливий. Загалом вартує читати і дорослим і підліткам!!
3.75 rounded up.
There was a lot I liked in this book, however it was really really tennis focused. I knew that would be part of it, however I didn't realize how into the games and scoring it was going to get, so that sort of took me out of the other main themes of the book.
It was well written and showed a lot of female strength, which I really enjoyed.
This book is about tennis.
If you like tennis, you'll like this book.
I like tennis. I liked the book.
I LOVE a good new age popular book. It feels like watching the best movie that everyone else has been talking about.
I loved this book, and I have never read a sports book before. I love that it made me fall into Carries world when before this I literally new nothing about tennis
It was so fun, but also real.
4.3
sehr gut zu lesen, spannend, aber am Ende gibt es zwei Möglichkeiten die beide irgendwie Klischee wären. Aber ich fand es gut, dass sie danach Trainerin wird.
If you like reading or listening to narrated tennis matches this is the book for you.
The best part of this book was Carrie's relationship with her dad. I couldn't care less about all the tennis matches, I just wanted to keep learning about their relationship. They were the best part of the book. I knew it would end the way it did, but it's okay cause it was so beautiful.
Beau was acting like an absolute KING. That is all I'll say about that.
Would have given it 4 ⭐️ if there were less tennis matches I had to listen to
If you don't love tennis and understand the rules, much of this book will be lost on you. I do love tennis and I found TJR's account fascinating. Obviously the writing was fantastic, and the main character was flawed but willing to change. I see some have not liked the Spanish, but I did. I didn't know what it meant and I was okay with that, because in context I understood the sentiments and that was all that mattered to me.
I'm a sucker for TJR books and this one is no different.
If you are a sports fan, you'll like this, and if you're a fan of women's sports- even more so. Just makes you wanna go pick up a racket. Importantly, it ruminates on what it means to build a legacy, and just how much should you allow that to be a northern star in your life.
Enjoyable even as I'm not a fan of sports. The writing is lovely, as always, and the characters wonderfully full of depth. My personal disconnect with tennis made this not as well loved as some of her other books but it was still solid, for sure.
its VERY rare for me to cry in a book and this one got me so hard. i play tennis so it was so enjoyable to read this book and even if you dont play its so easy to understand in this book. i just felt so attached to carrie soto and another character in this book and i didnt want it to end. i just feel like i was so invested and enjoyed every single page of this and it was a perfectly crafted story overall not a single flat point. overall i HIGHLY recommend this was such an easy 5 stars
