REVIEW

What I Liked:
The Cheat Sheet is such a sweet, feel-good story. Seriously, listening to it just put me in a better mood. I also appreciated the support of mental health practices without feeling to preachy.

Fair Warning:
Yes, the protagonists have been in love for years without realizing how the other felt, which isn't for everyone. Also, there is no third act break up, so it's all one big build-up to the HEA, very slow-burn.

Overall:
If you like Football Romance, The Cheat Sheet is a must read. Even though it's a closed-door romance, it doesn't feel like it's lacking because the chemistry is so good.

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

Heat Index: 🔥🔥 (2/5)
