Definitely one of my favorite one-shots. And trust me, I keep rereading it (: I like the whole idea of the checklist and how it's almost like those ones you often find in those girly magazines. I actually sometimes read those,and my sisters' friends always like to joke about some of the advice they give so this is totally relatable. anyways, what I find the cutest is Kent's jealousy. let's not deny it. it's attractive. especially toward the ending scene where he's blowing his top off and listing aloud how he practically knows everything about Lei. I'm not a big fan of profanity, but in this case I loved how it showed a mix of angry love.

Hi there! I'm here to let you know that your story has been nominated and accepted to join A Drop of Romeo! Here is your review:
It is a series of checklists, along with her very persuasive friends, that help Leila determine whether she actually likes her best friend Kent that way. I say that specifically - the author avoids the word "love" altogether, and this makes the story more powerful and realistic. After all her denial, Leila's feelings are true to life and well-realized without being overly dramatic.
Part of the fun of reading this story is watching Leila unwittingly act out the items on her list (such as "friendly banter" and "eye contact"), and waiting for her to struggle through her denial and her friends' interference to realize it herself. Watching Kent, the best friend, become increasingly jealous of Leila's mystery checklist man is also amusing. Their best-friend relationship evolves naturally into romance; there are no big gestures, serenades or balloons, only the growing realization that there may be more to their relationship. This was the most appealing aspect of the story.
The plot and format separate this girl-and-best friend one-shot from being just an ordinary cliche. The characters keep it believable and real. The writing is smooth and solid. In fact, all I can give “Checklisted” is one, giant, check.
Congratulations! I loved the story!

I can't even remember how many times I have read this story and reread it and loved it just as much every time. My favorite thing is how Leila doesn't want to admit to everyone at first, which is realistic unlike a lot of stories where there the MC will go from being totally against the idea to acting like a lovesick fool within one fragment of the story. Despite the fact this this is only two chapters, it really feels like a lot longer as well. Great story! xx

This is very cute :) But I think you might want to consider changing the rating. Since there are a few swear words, it might be better if you rated it as T instead of K. Other than that, it was really really cute. Good job!
