This book was really cute! From the beginning I was enthralled!!! Then if we're being honest the middle kind of dragged and fell flat for me, but then the end had me actually caring about soccer and loving the characters again!
I do think such obvious undiagnosed ADHD and Autism was a choice in the characters, but it also made them very real and relatable. And it was sort of addressed satisfactorily eventually. The only part of that which was unbelievable was that woke-queen-Phoebe addicted to tik tok hadn't found ADHD tick tock yet, and that she still had so much stigma with the disorder internalized.
But yay for a giddy, spicy, sapphic sports romance!
