Carrie Soto Is Back [Book] Goodreads Douban
Carrie Soto Is Back
author: 泰勒·詹金斯·里德 publishing house: Ballantine Books 2022 - 8
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.

读过 Carrie Soto Is Back 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
这本书的叙述方式给我的感觉是,还好它是去年出版的,如果是今年出版的我有理由相信她是写了个梗概然后喂给了 ChatGPT.....流水账白描得过于彻底了点,详略得当几个字跟这本书可以说是毫无关系,说是写复出,结果复出前的职业生涯写了四分之一……人物一个比一个扁平,女主性格超级不讨喜,反而是复出后的世界第一很招人喜欢…女性和种族话题都有涉及但是非常浮光掠影和平铺直叙,恋爱线无聊到不如删掉,亲情线的爹是真的爹,唯一好看的可能是比赛现场的描写,但那恐怕是因为即便是现在一场好看的网球比赛仍可以让我屏住呼吸,比赛也写得很重复啊
