Book Review #cleatcute #merylwilsner #netgalley #griffin
This sapphic, rivals to lovers, romcom is a lovely fall treat for any soccer lover. Meryl Wilsner's writing has a charm and ease that quickly brings the reader into her story and keeps them engaged. Wilsner weaves together comedy and sportsmanship competition perfectly to bring to life this love story between a new teammate and seasoned player. This novel has humor, heart and heat. Cleat Cute is a charming romance between teammates and a lovely fall read.
I adored the dynamic between Phoebe and Grace. The tension between someone who has history with the game, but is sidelined due to injury and the young new player who idolizes her taking her place is so fun. Wilsner deliciously builds this tension into the perfect chemistry. I also found a nice layer of humor as their relationship grows and both of them are on slightly different pages when it comes to the "label" of their relationship. This novel is sexy and sensual, the characters definitely grow their trust and understanding with each other through the exploration of their physical relationship. Wilsner easily balances the chemistry and emotions to give this relationship a nice layer of depth as they fall in love.
I would highly recommend this read. If you love Meryl Wilsner's writing you will delight in this. If the plot and characters intrigue you, then you are sure to be romanced.
Thank you so much to Griffin and NetGalley for an eARC, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
