Cleat Cute is probably my favorite romance read of the year so far! Our two female leads are so adorable and have such big personalities in different ways. I have loved watching Pheobe and Grace fall in love from page 1 and their chemistry is insane. By far, my favorite part of this book was seeing characters speak about ADHD and autism diagnoses. Slight spoiler but won’t ruin your read:as a reader with ADHD (and potentially autism haha)Pheobe’s neurodivergency was plainly obvious in a refreshing way. Same with Grace’s! Reading the two of them fall in love with each other’s quirks made this book all the more endearing.
I rate this book a 4.5/5 only because I would have loved to see more development on the side characters! Perhaps the author is setting up for other books in the same universe, but I especially would love to see more about the other characters as they relate to the various soccer teams.
