Complicated
Amber McCloud has dreamed of being cheer captain her whole life. Sure, the team is a little bit down ever since QB Robbie died in a drunk driving accident last spring, but she can bring it back. There's a new QB, Jack, and he might be great! Until it's discovered Jack is short for Jaclyn. Oops. The football team and the rest of the squad hates Jack. How will Amber balance her dream with the fact that Jack is very, very cute?
This book gives you both Amber's (a closeted cheerleader) and Jack's (female quarterback with some self esteem issues) perspectives. I really enjoyed seeing both of them. This book is just so cute! But also serious. There's a lot of homophobia and Robbie is being treated like a saint when he actually wasn't.
