What Has Taylor Jenkins Reid Said About ‘Carrie Soto Is Back?

When releasing the book, Taylor explained that Carrie Soto is not “glamorous” like her other female protagonists.

“She is prickly. She’s difficult. The way she looks, the way her body is, they challenge our understandings of how a woman should be. And I really wanted that sense of strength to be first,” the author told Entertainment Weekly in August 2022. “I do write about famous women, and famous women tend to fit into a certain understanding of what women should look like. Carrie does not. And that is very much on purpose.”
