Both Grace and Phoebe are so annoying and they're not annoying because of their autism or their ADHD.

I may be completely off base with this too, but to me it seemed like Grace was experienced and confident and then she would have these interactions with Phoebe that felt like she had never talked to another human before. 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. Like actually upset that Phoebe wasn't flirting with her anymore and was showing someone else attention. Something To Talk About felt like it really represented the frustrations I had with wlw mainstream romances.

This book starts okay with Phoebe flirting really really hard and after Grace says that she's not interested in sex or relationship, Phoebe immediately backs off. 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. I love that I thought it was great and I thought that they were going to develop a friendship that would lead into more.

Phoebe starts and she is overeager and chaotic and loud and oh yeah, she absolutely idolizes one of her teammates Grace. I’ve talked about the representation in a few comments so far but we talk a lot on this sub about books making a token effort at inclusion and how successful and important that is.
