About the Books
Forever, Interrupted introduces Elsie Porter, an ordinary young woman whose whirlwind romance with Ben Ross ends in devastating tragedy just days after their wedding. Thrust into a hospital waiting room, Elsie must face Ben's mother, Susan, who didn't even know she existed. What follows is a tender story of first love and profound loss, exploring how grief reshapes identity, family, and hope. Reid's debut novel established her gift for emotionally honest, page-turning storytelling. Carrie Soto Is Back shifts to professional tennis. Carrie Soto retired as the greatest player of her era, but when a rising star threatens to eclipse her record, she comes out of retirement for one final, grueling season. With her father as coach, Carrie must confront aging, public scrutiny, and her own relentless drive to prove she still belongs at the top. Told with the same sharp emotional insight Reid brings to all her work, this novel examines ambition, legacy, and what it costs to be the best. Placed side by side, these two novels reveal the breadth of Reid's storytelling: one an intimate portrait of love and loss, the other an adrenaline-charged study of competition and reinvention. Both books share her vivid character work and genuine emotional stakes, making this set an excellent introduction to her writing for new and existing fans alike.
