This one was just not it for me and I don't know if I'm going to continue to read this author's books. I won't recommend it 🤷 based on my review (and be sure to read others's as well), I'm sure you can decide for yourself if it's right for you. I didn't, obviously, and most of these points still apply even after an additional fifty percent of reading. There were also some discussions, particularly with Grace, who was grappling with a hip flexor injury, about where she wanted to go with her career. There are people that are in the training camp that are not in New Orleans and then there are people that are in the Nationals that are not in either and then some are in all of them and without a freaking flow chart of which teammate belongs to which team and where each team is located I was lost.

Something To Talk About felt like it really represented the frustrations I had with wlw mainstream romances. Sadly, that overarching style of storytelling was detrimental to the point of losing an entire star, possibly more. Combine the overabundance of introspection and ridiculously long and frequent paragraphs of rapid-fire thoughts with the third-person present tense. The most significant element is Grace struggling with how she sees herself without soccer when she’s sidelined with an injury and Pheobe is the one that steps up to fill her role. Absolutely not because they switch between code names for these different teams so many times and have so many teammates but that's a different section.i DID like that they communitcated, and that they showed that sex doesn't always have to (and for some ppl often doesn't! We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Soccer was a main character—which I’m not complaining about since it’s literally obvious from the cover, title, and summary lol—it’s just on me for overestimating my potential interest in reading about it. I love that I thought it was great and I thought that they were going to develop a friendship that would lead into more. ive seen others say that grace eventually tries to diagnose phoebe herself at some point and that is just not it.

both girls are supposed to be ND however grace just comes off as a total stuck up im too famous for you to breathe near me bitch and phoebe more of a i dont respect other peoples time and i can do whatever i want and you cant be mad at me for it. Out of nowhere bitching people out for not telling her that they might be eating out and how "some people have to budget" like. Although the assumptions Grace makes about Phoebe and how the whole conversation happens really didn’t sit well with me.

I adored every single aspect of this book from start to finish, and I can't wait for everyoneelse to love it when it comes out, too. This grumpy captain/sunshine rookie, teammates with benefits romance was big hearted and sexy (my god, so sexy) and geniunely a delight to read. It's also very steamy which is nice to see but as someone who is checking out of sex scenes more and more. They have some vague conversation about exclusivity which Phoebe takes as they're dating and Grace takes as they're clear for STIs and then they fuck.
