Cheer Up! Love and Pompoms
by Crystal Frasier, Val Wise
~E-arc provided through netgalley.~
3.5 / 5 stars
"Seeing you go first let me know I could do it too."
And that folks, is why representation matters.
This graphic novel follows a biracial trans girl welcoming an angry fat girl into her cheerleading team. The girls rekindle a closeness they used to have while helping each other deal with microagressions and teen life. (Very queer)
I really appreciate this brilliant rep and how the characters (our MCs and the rest of the team) stuck together and helped each other out.
Our main characters were very loveable. They're romance could have been developed a little more, but ultimately it doesn't make it not good.
I am, however, a little over the fence about how other girls on the team themselves were throwing transphobic language without ever being put in their place, officially, and without them apologising...
Altogether it was a fast and nice read, almost would have preferred it longer!
