The Cheat Sheet

nicky_ewers shared a tip "I absolutely am in love with this book. First of all, it is friends to lovers AND fake dating (my 2 favorite tropes)! Then, you have this adorable group of football players and a romantic cheat sheet and beautiful side characters and it is just pure awesomeness. Also, there is no third act breakup and that was just truly amazing."

jadyn_adams shared a tip "Such a cute book. Obviously it’s your typical modern friends to lovers romance and predictable, but i still thought it was adorable. I work in sports, so i loved the plot being focused on that. That wasn’t a huge part, so non-sports people can still enjoy it, but the areas where specifics were mentioned, they were pretty accurate. It’s listed as YA at my library, so there’s no explicit spice. Quick and light read."

your-personal-librarian shared a tip "best. romance. book. possibly. EVER!!! ummm i NEED 🤍NATHAN🤍 RNN PLEASE OML!! one of the sexiest, treats her like a queen, perfect in his own way, just like SMASHHHHHH, fictional guys i have ever read about. this book is just the best feel good book that does more than melt you. had me sleepless that night while the story, love, and nathan on my mind. 11/10"

mac.xo716 shared a tip "“First shes a woman, not a girl. Second. Yeah if she would have let me. I would have stayed home for her in a heartbeat back then. I still would. Football will never be as important to me as she is. So you can either support my relationship with Bree or forfeit a relationship with me. Your call, but just know I won’t budge on this.” NATHANNATHANNATHAN❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥"

olivia_goettsch shared a tip "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ a very cute and fun closed door romance. I really loved how their friendship and relationship was portrayed! Totally recommend!"

katiebellschacher shared a tip "5/5 stars! I have re-read this multiple times and every time, I love it more. It is well written and the friends to lovers trope is so cute. I also loved that they shared some of the same struggles and I liked it wasn’t all about the romance but there was also growth for both characters! I have read quite a few books my Sarah Adams but this is by far my favorite."

jillian_conklin shared a tip "Such a good book! I couldn’t put it down, and I love how natural it felt. Reading it felt like I was talking to either Nathan or Bree personally, and I love those kinds of books! :)"

natalia_kacprzak shared a tip "2/5: it was very bland, it was slow throughout the entire book and then at the end it was just one big event after the next. i usually like the friends to lovers trope and fake dating but it was kinda boring for me. some scenes were cute but still"

katie_card_513 shared a tip "it wasn’t a very good book. I feel it had no point, and although it was sweet it was EXTREMELY cringy. it’s the kind of book you read when you don’t have anything else to read. The end was the worst part. I was hopping it would get better and it just kept getting worse. I rate it 5/10"

dousytiva shared a tip "BEST FRIENDS TO LOVERS, FAKE DATING, SO MUCH PINING, FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF, MENTAL ILLNESS PORTRAYED ACCURATELY AND MEANINGFULLY, AND DID I MENTION THE BEST FRIENDS TO LOVERS?!"

reese_johnson_1414 shared a tip "Loved this book! Will probably read it again.. It’s super cute and sweet. It’s super romantic w/o the sex, so it’s great for teens."

kaitlin_nichols_6653 shared a tip "This book literally made me laugh out loud. The love story is pure and wholesome. The inner thoughts of the characters are so funny and realistic - Sarah Adams definitely knew what we were all thinking."

hadassa_gonzalez_mo shared a tip "I loved this book it was so cute and romantic❤️but obnoxious at the same time because you want something to happen so bad already 🙄"

trameeee shared a tip "A super fun short read! Nathan my baby🥹 My only critic is that this doesn’t feel like NFL kinda narrative. It feels like high school to me…. Maybe it’s just me. Still enjoyed it a lot!!"

halie_v shared a tip "Listened to the audio book and didn’t love the narrators. Not the worst just not my favourite narration. This book is very romcomy, cute, and silly. The characters seem SUPER immature for their age. It feels like a YA book written about people in their late 20s which seemed strange to me. I also personally hated the end although always appreciate when there isn’t a 3rd act breakup. I love a super cheesy romance but this was to much for me. Overall not my thing but I get why people would like it. ⭐️⭐️.5/5 (no spice)."

lilly_cluff shared a tip "5/5 stars. I love this book with all my heart. I mean I laughed super hard and I feel in love with their love. Yes and yes. READ IT!!!!"

amanda_martin_6193 shared a tip "Overall I really enjoyed this book, but it took me a few chapters to realize it is written in present tense. A bit annoying once I noticed, but still good"

laurenmr shared a tip "I am convinced that Sarah Adams can do no wrong. If you go into this book expecting 🌶🌶, you won’t get it from a Sarah Adams book. However, the pining, the protectiveness, the sweetness, and the LOLs are abundant. This books strikes the right balance and cute and romance and I can’t wait to read her next book."

hadlee_allsbrooks shared a tip "THIS BOOK IS ADORABLEEEE. they have such a sweet connection <333 and I’m obsessed with the fake dating plot. The love Bree and Nathan have for each other crushes me."

nataliscott shared a tip "I fell deeply in love with this book, since the first chapter i was sooo drawn in!! I need me a Nathan. I won’t lie but I felt like the ending was rushed and kinda scattered but still loved it, made me tear up ❤️ "

sophielu shared a tip "loved this book! I liked it much more than I had expected! Bree and Nathan are so cute together and I loved the multi point of view writing. definitely recommend this for anyone who likes a good friends-to-lovers and/or fake-dating book because it has both tropes! I think this is a good book for younger teenagers who enjoy romance as there was very very little cussing and it stayed pretty PG!"

h_co shared a tip "I love books with two perspectives within them. I did find the last couple of chapter to be a little drawn out, but maybe that was due to me reading this book start to finish in 2 hours. I highly recommend if you want a high tension friends to lovers troupe"

brynn_metzler shared a tip "This was such a sweet and cute romance. Usually I like a little heavier romance read, but this one just stole my heart. I fell in love with the characters and although it took them a little while to get together it was worth the wait. Not too spicy, more so just tension. The dual POV’s made it 10x better!! #football #romance #sweetromance #friendstolovers #bestfriendstolovers"

katelyn_171 shared a tip "I just finished reading this book and I personally really enjoyed it. It was an easy read, pretty fast paced, and great for people who like fake dating!"

audrey_tourigny shared a tip "I was ready to make this book one of my favorite of all time! I loved the dual POV ,the humour the characters, the evolution of the story, I loved all of it! But then in the last couple chapter they lost me. I’m not a big fan of grand gesture and that was just too much and too predictable I would have loved another storyline. But that’s on a personal preference … 3.75/5 because of that but the first 85% of the book was a 6/5"

gillian_mcilwaine shared a tip "The romance in this novel is so cute, but the ending felt extremely rushed to me and it just left a bit of a bad impression of the book for me."

lila_garrity shared a tip "My favorite part was probably when the football team is making The Cheat Sheet and Bree walks in or when Nathan wants to come to the birthday party with her family. Honestly, the whole book would be my favorite part😂❤️"

violet_fravel shared a tip "literally one of the best books ever. The plot, while predictable, is amazing with a heartwarming romance. There’s no spicy scenes either, which is always refreshing"

gracie_thompson_9567 shared a tip "Omg I just finished this book in one sitting and I loved it so much♥️ It is for sure one of my new favorite books♥️ I loved the characters and to me Nathan is a perfect book boyfriend 😂"

sierra_gibson_4449 shared a tip "There aren’t many books that make me laugh out loud, but this book made me laugh until my stomach hurt! Not to mention the absolutely adorable chemistry between Bree and Nathan and the beautiful slow burn aspect of the book. I read this book in one sitting and I’m so sad that I’ll never be able to read it for the first time again 😭"

zoey_jernigan shared a tip "Loved this book! It was super cute and really fast paced. It was honestly just a super cute and fun fluffy book to read! I read it in about a day and a half and loved it!"

toitel_turtle shared a tip "i loved the plot of this book! the entire time i had butterflies in my stomach because of how the characters acted toward each other. although it is a closed-door romance (which i was not aware of and was constantly waiting for that one scene). i feel like if i was aware that it was a closed-door book i would have gone into it with a different approach :) 3.5/5 stars for me"

catherine_peacher shared a tip "This book had me smiling and laughing the whole time. I could not put this book down!!! Add to your list now! This book was hilarious and so much fun to read!!!"

boo_792 shared a tip "Could not get through the first 5 chapters. Main character is such a pick me girl. The first chapter was her complaining that her bestfriend/crush had the audacity to get a girlfriend and how MC will always be by his side and he’ll always choose her. His relationships never workout because MC doesn’t let him be happy. She’s selfish and insecure. Barf."

jaime_miller_1989 shared a tip "This was a perfect easy, cheesy romance. I read it in one day and it was a nice break to just sit and read a feel good friends to lovers romance."

josie-elisa_vella_6616 shared a tip "So, although the book was an easy read and had cute-rom-com themes, I found it to be repetitive and also slightly younger for young adult novel. The writing felt “immature” almost as if the characters were back in high school unable to navigate their feelings. It wasn’t the greatest book I’ve read recently."

cindy_dowell shared a tip "This book was a cute friends to lover romance. My favorite character has to be Jamal and the other football players. I also like that this book mentions mental health issues people go through"

bryn_sherwood shared a tip "This book is amazing! I love this book because I used to be a person who didn’t like reading,because I thought it was stupid because I didn’t find the right book for me. But then I found Romance books and immediately fell head over heels and this book made my love books so much. #Addicted This book has spice,and a cute but steamy love story."

bryn_sherwood shared a tip "I highly recommend this book because The author Sarah Adams makes this book relatable but such a thrill chaser at the same time. It is like you can’t stop reading for a second because you just want to finish it right away. ❤️‍🔥 It took everything for me not to read this whole book in a day but it was that good I couldn’t turn myself away from it. I even was told to stop reading and to take a break for how quiet I was being reading this book. #friendsintolovers"

jacky_886 shared a tip "I LOVED IT, but I wish we got to see Nathan’s pov more. The end seemed to be rushed but it was still good love the cute moment they had 4.5/5"

tiffany_thereader shared a tip "Loved it so much!! Closed door (fade to black) but still sexy. Quirky and super funny! The team reminds me of Ted lasso characters."

elycia_carr shared a tip "i read that book in like a day??? i love it so much!! it’s a friends to lover trope and the characters are AMAZING. it’s so easy to read and it talks about anxiety and burning out. i even learn a trick with that book :)"

clara_rose_1010 shared a tip "This was absolutely one of my most favorite reads! I love the comedy incorporated into the side characters and definitely adds to the book. Overall one of the cutest books I’ve read"

lea.dingle_farts shared a tip "honestly after finishing reading hunting adeline 2 days ago, this book was a total refresher. It’s a cheesy, romantic, friends-to-lovers, fake dating, typa book! I honestly really enjoyed it and was swinging my feet it the air. The book itself was very fluff ful!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 !"

ava_williams_7630 shared a tip "I LOVED THIS it is truly just everything. The best friends to lovers trope is the best and I got a little frustrated since i knew how they BOTH felt. But oh my god. this was such an amazing book to read and i loved it so much i literally just finished it and have literal butterflies. ““I love you too,” he whispers over and over again. “I love you, Bree. I love you. I always have.”"

jayden_fitzgerald shared a tip "this was such a cute romance. i am a sucker for friends to lovers and a good football love story. the bree-nkets were so sweet! 8/10"

julisa_gaona shared a tip "I’ll give it a 3 stars the book is very good, I just personally don’t like best friends secretly in love. I loved the characters especially the 2 main ones and their relationship I just don’t enjoy them not admitting their feelings right away."

meagan_cooke shared a tip "Loved this book so much! The slow burn, the friendship between them... it was all so sweet! I appreciate that there wasn't any explicit scenes. This one gets all the heart eyes from me!"

a_ge shared a tip "The main female character has one of the most aggressively “pick me” personalities I have ever read. The book was cute and lighthearted, but I was just too annoyed to finish."
