Review:

This was a really cute romance! I did read almost all of it a couple of days ago but never finished the last chapter. I wanted to have time to write my review and savor the book. I thought the characters were really well done, and I enjoyed how the book was a lesbian take on the football player and cheerleader trope. The only problem is because it was the trope, it did feel a little cliche. But I was expecting that going into the book and I was not disappointed. Sometimes you need a good cliche romance novel. This was a super cute story!

Trigger Warnings:

Synopsis From Book:

Amber McCloud’s dream is to become cheer captain at the end of the year, but it’s an extra-tall order to be joyful and spirited when the quarterback of your team has been killed in a car accident. For both the team and the squad, watching Robbie get replaced by newcomer Jack Walsh is brutal. And when it turns out Jack is actually short for Jaclyn, all hell breaks loose. The players refuse to be led by a girl, the cheerleaders are mad about the changes to their traditions, and the fact that Robbie’s been not only replaced but outshined by a QB who wears a sports bra has more than a few Atherton Alligators in a rage. Amber tries for some semblance of unity, but it quickly becomes clear that she's only got a future on the squad and with her friends if she helps them take Jack down. Just one problem: Amber and Jack are falling for each other, and if Amber can't stand up for Jack and figure out how to get everyone to fall in line, her dream may come at the cost of her heart.
