Description

Initially Grace definitely had a “You kids get off my grass” type of vibe but Phoebe never gave up and as Grace changed so did I the reader. I did like this book, especially that it has a lot of intimacy scenes, but for me it was definitely lacking emotion. It's hard to say for sure because the near-singular focus on character development (with an uneventful soccer story arc for ambiance) really precluded there being much actually happening in the story. There's the moment where Grace is injured and she doesn't want to tell the trainer / physical therapist that she's injured because she knows it's going to bench her and even though Phoebe pressures grace to tell the trainer she is going to let Grace do it herself supposedly.

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. She develops a crush on the Captain of the team, Grace Henderson, and the two start a relationship as they manage life, career and outside pressures.Even knowing that they play the same position and Phoebe could replace Grace, that's never an actual serious contender of a situation for it to qualify as a rival situation. Some of Meryl’s favorite things include: all four seasons, button down shirts, the way giraffes run, and their wife. I was pleasantly surprised by the two women and their specific personalities as they kept their professional lives separate from their personal issues. The joy you take in playing soccer is infectious, and reminded me that I used to feel like that, too.

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. 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. ugh, I know, sapphics deserve dirty talk too but honestly I'm over it when it happens in most romances no matter if it's hetero or m/m or what.

Can you really consider a book rivals to lovers if the characters are on the same team and they're not rivals at any point in the entire book? I love how this book is quite spicy, and even though Phoebe and Grace don’t officially get together right away, their relationship heats up right from the get-go. Probably one of my favourites, with the main character having adhd, I related to it alot as my partner also has adhd and I noticed a lot of her quirks.
