THE CHEAT SHEET
E**Y
Bree & Nathan have my whole heart!
"Girlfriends come and go in Nathan’s life like fad diets. Me, on the other hand—I was here long before two-faced Kelsey, and I’ll be here long after, because I am Nathan’s best friend. I’m the one who’s been through it all with him, and he’s been through it all with me."I've read Sarah Adams' rom-coms before and having read this book I can say that her writing is just getting better and better! When I first saw the book being announced, I wasn't really excited but reading the early reviews made me want to give it a try. This is a bestfriends to lovers, fake dating, slowburn and sports romance."Bree’s warning tone, however, sounds as threatening as a cartoon baby bunny. Her eyes are big and sparkly and make me love her more."Bree Camden is hopelessly in love with her highschool bestfriend Nathan Donelson but is unable to express how she feels in fear that it would ruin their friendship. Little does she know that Nathan feels the same about her and only dates when she's in a relationship too. They both don't know how to get out of the ridiculous friendzone but when Bree blurts out what she really feels while being drunk in a bathroom to a gossip journalist, the whole world suddenly wants them to be together."Nathan give everyone his business smile. It never reaches his eyes, and only I would know that, because now, he’s giving me his smile. The one I’ve seen since high school."While Nathan came from a rich background and plays as a quarterback for the NFL , Bree worked hard to earn everything in her life. She wanted to attend Julliard for ballet instead life gave her a real big setback when she got into a terrible accident that busted up her knee. Now Bree teaches Ballet to aspiring teenagers at her dance studio in LA and lives just five blocks away from Nathan.“It will be real.” She glares at me. “No. It. Won’t.” “My very real lips will be on your very real lips, Bree. That’s the very definition of real. It will not be in our heads.”Because of Bree's little stunt, Nathan's manager suggest them to fake date until a commercial shoot for four weeks and suddenly Nathan's hidden feelings start to come out. To say Bree was shocked by his sudden change of attitude was an understandment. And Oh my god, these two were adorable together! Them being obviously in love with each other since the beginning was just so cute. Bree was such a strong, fierce, hilarious and sassy little thing. I loved her with her whole set of insecurities and her unabashed clumsiness! Nathan was such a cinnamon roll. He was so swoony and the little things he did for Bree made me love him even more. But, I've got to say, when it came to noticing how the other feels about them, they were oblivious. Thanks to Nathan's teammates and Bree's sister, Lily to make them come to a realisation.Overall, everything about the book was perfect. There wasn't smut but even the slightest touches made me feel the burning tension between them. Bree & Nathan had a special connection and their intimacy just hit differently. They practically radiated soulmate vibes. The side characters really need their own books, I would definitely like to read more about them because I can't get enough. Pick the book up of you haven't yet because you definitely won't regret it!

Love is Friendship
5/5Oh my gossshhhhhSince, I am really not into best-friends to lovers BUTI AM OBSESSED WITH NATHAN AND BREE. First, Nathan Donelson. You are the book boyfie everyone wants. Rich, flirty, softie and definitely not a play boy despite how fun and careless his life is.Second, Bree Cheese Camden is the funniest bestfriend and girlfriend evaa. She has the most wittiest comeback and is super adorable.I laughed in each chapter. It is hilariously sexy and sweet. This is the type of rom-com I prefer. Too underrated book I assume. I can give it a 100 ⭐️. Thats how much i loved it.

It's fine.
The book is fine and a quick read if u don't leave it in between for weeks on end like I did. It's just a generic rom-com hallmark movie waiting to be made which is acknowledged in the book at one point atleast. The story references tiktok , do with that what you will. I think the target audience for this book was in mind even before the book was written. It has the 6'+ and " 5+ tiny, cute jumping on tables but still somehow has long legs" trope. But I would recommend it if you're looking for a cheesy, a little bit cringe but I guess "cute" best friends to lovers trope that doesn't hold any serious substance and is just a light read.

HOLY LORD, I'LL NEED AN ETERNITY TO SOAK IN THE LOVE, WARMTH, HAPPINESS AND BUBBLING JOY THAT THIS BOOK HAS FILLED ME UP WITH 🥺🥺💞💞
I'm not even kidding when I say that I'm crying happy tears while typing this! Bree and Nathan's UNBELIEVABLY beautiful, precious and heartmelting love story is everything. Literally *everything*. It touched my soul with it's meaningfulness, endearing thoughtfulness, earnest beauty and just pure warmth. Bree and Nathan's love for each other is so unconditional, unwavering and endless. It just makes you sob out of sheer happiness. I couldn't stop smiling while going on this whole journey along with them. They've captured my heart and have stolen all of it. It's going to stay with them now. I love how they defined home for each other and were not just the best of friends, the best of lovers but the best of soulmates too. I'm never getting over them and those fond and selfless gestures of love. "The Cheat Sheet" is a big, warm and tender hug of a book and it'll envelope your heart in a soothing embrace and make it smile the brightest. Sarah Adams is such a creative, talented and magical weaver of words. I'm in awe. Brb, just going to sit here and cry some more. 🥺💓🌤️Please do read this book! I promise, you'll fall in love with it - truly, madly and deeply. ✨✨✨
