My only complaint with this book is that I wish we got more of Nathan's POV. Although, I do appreciate the author putting us in the characters' heads so we know exactly what they're thinking and feeling at all times.

However, with that being said, I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't stop laughing the entire book! This was friends-to-lovers done the right way. I also love the guys on the team and need more books with them in it.

The emotion and vulnerability were written so well in this book. Writing the male MMC to be the one to have panic attacks and show so much unguarded emotions is incredible. His ability to communicate (after he stops fighting his feelings) is so refreshing. They're love revelations are so pure and so them and I loved every minute of this book.

Super cheesy book. Just like a Hallmark movie may be a little better. The big let down of the book is the plot. It’s very sweet and simple. I wish there was a bigger climax and conflict.

Notes:
- The writing... yikes. It's like it came straight out of wattpad. So much unnecessary exposition that is told through the character dialogue that sounds like it belongs to a 14 year old.
- The plot itself isn't really that great either tbh:
the cheat sheet isn't really important other than to function as a scene generator for Nathan and Bree, Bree has no friends other than the football guys and her sister, and the wedding was just stupid — either elope properly or just wait and plan a nice wedding why rush into it??
- Only saving grace was Nathan's panic attack scene which is a trope that I love personally, but honestly it wasn't that long or complex of a moment so it wasn't as fulfilling to me as I was hoping.

This was such a sweet friends-to-lovers romance! The yearning! The years of crushing!! Obsessed!!! 

Bree and Nathan are so perfect together and I loved how they cared about eachother esp with Nathan's mental health issues (so good, we need more men suffering in romance).

Adams is so good at writing closed-door romances, in comparison to other books it really doesn't feel like you miss much. The Big Emotions we often get in smut scenes are just put somewhere else here and I loved those scenes just as much!

Disclaimer about why I gave 4 stars: there is some girl-on-girl hate (which almost comes with the territory with the boy-girl-besties thing) and Bree is a bit pick-me at times. But it's not as bad as other books I've read, just a teeny bit annoying.
