Well, there was a lot of sex and it was good sex. The things I really liked, maybe even loved? Consequently, it took forever to finish because I just didn't care 🤷

I didn't love this book, I just read it and felt very little about it, to be honest. There were things I really liked about it, there were some mediocre things, and then there was this overall style of storytelling that just blanketed the whole thing, dampening the entire experience. The only thing there was more of in this book than steamy sex was internal monologuing ☠️ Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher.

And I gave a friend my copy of Something to Talk About. Real talk, what do I buy and get signed at the LA Times Festival of Books? Obviously, I don't have the physical ARC of this book. Anyway, what I came here to say is for a person that doesn't watch women's soccer, I was riveted by each and every plot point in this book.Īlso, I guess everyone has issues dating? Thought it was just straight women confused about men. Yes, they suck, but also sorry not sorry, there is not a lot of eye candy. I know the USWNT is so so so much better than the USMNT. I mainly watch for eye candy, but get sucked into the tournament every four years. To be fair, my dumbass was introduced to the World Cup in 2010 and things moved from there. Meryl and Casey McQuiston write the best F/F. Not that I bought any of these, because I've been lucky enough to win ARCs of each of their three novels, but I couldn't tell you which one I like best.

As the tension between them grows, will both players realize they care more about their relationship than making the roster?

Grace is everything she has been waiting to find.Īs the World Cup approaches, and Grace works her way back from injury, the women decide to find a way they can play together instead of vying for the same position. But she quickly finds herself looking at Grace as more than a mere teammate. Phoebe Matthews has always admired Grace’s skill and was star struck to be training alongside her idol. The last thing Grace expects is to become friends with benefits with this class clown she sees as her rival. Phoebe is everything Grace isn’t-a gregarious jokester who plays with a joy that Grace lost somewhere along the way. But when she’s sidelined with an injury, a bold new upstart, Phoebe Matthews, takes her spot. Grace Henderson has been a star of the US Women’s National Team for ten years, even though she’s only 26. A sapphic rivals to lovers rom com for fans of Ted Lasso and A League of Their Own, where two soccer teammates are at odds before falling in love as their team gears up for the World Cup.
