By the time Carrie retires from tennis, she is the best player the world has ever seen. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Slam titles. And if you ask her, she is entitled to every one. She sacrificed nearly everything to become the best, with her father as her coach.
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, British 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 a story about the cost of greatness and a legendary athlete attempting a comeback.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo established this signature approach, examining public perception and private identity in mid-century Hollywood.
Taylor Jenkins Reid is an American novelist known for her bestselling works set from the 1950s through the 1990s and beyond, including Carrie Soto Is Back and Atmosphere: A Love Story. Her novels have sold more than 21 million copies worldwide and earned selections from major readership platforms including Reese's Book Club, Read with Jenna, GMA Book Club, Indie Next, Best of Amazon, and Book of the Month.
Born in Ocean City, Maryland, on December 20, 1983, Reid earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Emerson College before pursuing a full-time career as an author. She published her debut novel, Forever, Interrupted, in 2013, followed by contemporary relationship dramas such as After I Do, Maybe in Another Life, and One True Loves. Her career reached widespread recognition as she pivoted toward mid-to-late 20th-century historical fiction, beginning with the publication of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo in 2017.
Following that success, Reid published Daisy Jones & The Six in 2019, which was adapted into a limited television series on Amazon Prime. She continued expanding her fictional focus with Malibu Rising and Carrie Soto Is Back, before authoring Atmosphere: A Love Story, a 1980s-set space thriller centered on a female NASA astronaut. Reid currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, Alex Jenkins Reid, and their daughter.
Reid's narrative technique frequently utilizes creative structures, such as oral histories, interview transcripts, multi-perspective timelines, and media excerpts, to explore complex character dynamics. Her stories examine the intersection of public renown, personal ambition, secret relationships, and female autonomy. Set across diverse eras ranging from 1950s cinema to 1970s rock music, 1980s athletics, and space exploration, her novels investigate how media narratives shape public memory and personal truth.
