I enjoy Dahlia Adler's books, and I think this is the cutest of them all. It's a feel-good butch femme romance where the girls in the couple are a cheerleader and a football player. The cheerleader's conflict feels flimsy to me, but the book takes place in Florida, so I won't question her need to remain closeted to get elected cheer captain as her only way to get to college on a scholarship too deeply.
If you like butches, quarterback Jack (Jaclyn) is super hot, and if you like femmes, cheerleader Amber is extremely bendy. And I appreciate her perspective on cheerleading:

Cheerleading lets me be just as athletic without constantly looking over at the person next to me to compare stats or trash-talk another team.
