"Wilsner makes this sports romance a winner." - Publishers Weekly

"This steamy opposites-attract romance from Wilsner is recommended for all collections." - Library Journal

"Wilsner breaks new ground with a sporty twist on the meet-cute trope...Fans of the popular Apple TV show Ted Lasso and the classic sporty romance film Bend It Like Beckham will cheer for this sexy sapphic romcom that fills a gap in the heretofore male-dominated sports-romance genre." - Booklist

"[A] delightfully steamy sapphic romance...class differences are deftly handled throughout, the city setting is vibrant, and there are several secondary characters who shine; most importantly, the romantic journey at the center is fun and entertaining." - Kirkus

"This upcoming romance by Meryl Wilsner is everything I’ve ever wanted in a love story...Do not miss this book!" - Book Riot, "Books About Women’s Soccer to Read During the FIFA Women’s World Cup"

"Wilsner is one of the hottest contemporary f/f romance writers right now, and the anticipation for their latest scorcher is at a fever pitch... USWNT fans who shipped Kristie Mewis and Sam Kerr long before those two made it official: this one’s for you." - Electric Literature, "The Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Books for Fall 2023"

"Cleat Cute is a fun, sexy read about two women falling in love regardless of what stands in their way." - The Mary Sue

"Meryl Wilsner is a go-to author for sapphic reads." - Culturess, "10 queer romance releases to keep Pride Month going in 2023"

"For anyone in need of more sapphic soccer content post-World Cup, Meryl Wilsner's latest romantic venture, Cleat Cute, is sure to fulfill your craving." - PopSugar, "Best New Romance Novels That'll Make You Swoon"

"Wilsner is such a fun author to follow, because their debut was the slowest of the slow burns, and then bam, their followup was the spiciest of the spicy (within trad pub contemporary romance), and so Cleat Cute really could’ve gone either way… and gives a great compromise by making you think it’s gonna be the former and then. Whew. You will know it when you see it, and you will like it." - Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, "September 2023 Queer Romances"

"Cleat Cute’s Sapphic Soccer Romance Will Fill the World Cup-Shaped Hole in Your Heart." - Autostraddle

Praise for Mistakes Were Made:

"Speaking of bangers: Mistakes Were Made is what the author, Meryl Wilsner, describes as their MILF book, a Sapphic age-gap romance where a brash college senior (Cassie) unwittingly hooks up with her best friend’s divorced mom (Erin) before Family Weekend... this one struck just right, with a mix of college-party shenanigans and family-holiday pressure that felt real enough to relate to but escapist enough to enjoy." - The New York Times

"Wilsner proves their serious romance range with a sophomore that laughs in the slow-burning face of their debut by kicking off with a hookup that'll have you fanning your face for days." - Buzzfeed, "26 Highly Anticipated LGBTQ+ Romance Novels Releasing In 2022"

"Wilsner’s steamy, fast-paced secret-lovers contemporary romance features fully realized queer protagonists and secondary characters...It’s not a romantic comedy, but definitely has humor, as well as great dialogue and hot sex scenes." - Library Journal

"A sexy and empowering romance." - Kirkus Reviews

"[A] hilarious, high-heat rom-com...by coupling raunchy humor and genuine connection, Wilsner’s sophomore outing offers plenty to love." - Publishers Weekly

"This book was hot. A MILF dream, if you will. Wilsner did such a great job of twisting together personal drama with relationship drama so that there was always something going on to keep me turning the pages. I would most definitely read another book by them in the future, and I highly recommend you all read this one when it comes out in October." - Write Through the Night, "Mistakes Were Made Was Fun, Flirty, and Extremely Gay"

"Mistakes Were Made is so sexy and compelling, reading it is like being in on the most tantalizing secret. From the moment I picked it up, I couldn't stop reading, smiling, or blushing. Simply delectable from start to finish." - Dahlia Adler, author of Cool for the Summer and Home Field Advantage

"A frothy blend of heart, humor, and steam, this story about accepting love and embracing the unexpected will stay with readers far beyond its happily ever after. A vibrant, intoxicating romance." - Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn't Care

"Mistakes Were Made is an absolute delight, both undeniably sexy and incredibly sweet. The story overflows with warmth, friendship, and humor, and Wilsner skillfully ensures that even when Cassie and Erin make their mistakes - big ones - those mistakes are human and understandable. I was rooting for their happy ending the whole time, and when it arrived, I cried happy tears. I think readers will adore this story, and for good reason." - Olivia Dade, author of Spoiler Alert

"In Mistakes Were Made, Wilsner somehow deftly depicts both the messy, exuberant confusion of college life and the messy, bewildering confusion of middle age. Cassie and Erin's journey is taboo and sexy, but ultimately, it is deeply sweet: a story of how love can, and should, transcend societal expectations." - Anita Kelly, author of Love & Other Disasters

"Meryl Wilsner's sophomore novel bursts with charm, humor, and heat. Mistakes Were Made left me smiling from beginning to end and you'll fall in love while rooting for this sexy, forbidden, and adorable love story. Wilsner is a storyteller who gently and perfectly steals your heart and hands it back a little fuller. I can't wait to recommend this book to everyone I know!” - Denise Williams, author of The Fastest Way to Fall

Overall rating: 4.2 / 5 from 10 reviews.

Reviews

Would definitely recommend

"Was a great book. Really keeps you interested. Also some really good steamy scenes."

— MeganMacDonald (5/5)

So basic

"Chose this one because soccer, sapphic, sex, and really positive reviews. It was a bit of a slog to finish. I found the writing style really simplistic. The inner monologues that others have mentioned are quite superficial- I would expect delving constantly into someone’s thoughts should reveal more depth. I get that the readers were supposed to be led through a process of discovering the neurodivergence of the main characters, but it was so…basic. I would be hard pressed to read more from this author."

— Vynne (3/5)

Incredible!!!

"This book is steamy, well written and you can definitely feel the tension between the MC’s!!! Definitely one of the best sapphic sport romances out there!!"

— Itssels (5/5)

Why so many negative reviews?!

"I don't understand the negative reviews as I found this book amazing! Usually I'm not a fan of miscommunication but it was brought in a way that was enjoyable to read! Really liked this book and am looking forward to reading more from this author!"

— Gabriellemint (5/5)

Great Sapphic Romance

"A great spicy sapphic romance! Definitely recommend!"

— Alyssa H. (5/5)

Clear Cute, summed the whole book up in two words

"Loved this book so much, usually I don’t enjoy slow burns but there was something about how desperate phoebe was to have grace as her girlfriend that made me enjoy all the times any little thing almost happened."

— Hailey (5/5)

Loved it!

"An adorable story between two very relatable characters in an interesting setting. Will definitely be reading again!"

— Annie (5/5)

Great Read!

— Kathleen (4/5)

SO cute

"genuinely loooved this so much. sapphic romcom with insane sexual tension, flirty banter and not one but TWO neurodivergent main characters. adored this"

— Savannagbraz (4/5)

Really confusing

"Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press (St. Martin’s Griffin) for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. _x000D_ _x000D_ I was really looking forward to reading ""Cleat Cute"" and had high hopes for it. While there were a few moments I enjoyed, it ended up being somewhat disappointing. _x000D_ _x000D_ In the beginning, the story captured my interest, but I lost it pretty quickly. One issue I noticed was that the book tended to tell instead of show. It relied a lot on the character's inner thoughts, which made it a bit dull. Trimming down these inner dialogues could have made the story move along better. The ending of the book was confusing. It left me feeling like some things weren't resolved, and important events should have happened earlier in the story. The ending didn't fit well with the rest of the book, and it felt incomplete. _x000D_ _x000D_ I didn't connect with Grace's character. She seemed to have trouble understanding Phoebe, and she made a big deal out of small things. Also, relying so much on TikTok for information felt unrealistic and hurt the story's credibility. On a positive note, Phoebe's character was a highlight. She was relatable and likable, which was a nice change from some of the frustrations in the story. _x000D_ _x000D_ In conclusion, ""Cleat Cute"" had its promising moments but also tested my patience. It had potential, but it struggled with pacing, character development, and an unsatisfying ending. Despite my initial excitement, I ended up feeling somewhat let down by the overall reading experience."
