Thank you to netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Cheer Up: Love and Pompoms follows Annie, an antisocial lesbian who starts her senior year under pressure to join the cheerleading squad and Bee, her former friend and trans girl who must keep her parents happy with her grades and social life to keep her transition going.

This is such a fast and easy read! It being in graphic novel format also is super cute, I love the artists style.

Bebe faces lots of struggles in her life, from blatant transphobia to creepy guys hitting on her simply because she’s trans, and I think the topics were handled super well being how short this book is (123 pages). As a trans man myself, the way transphobia was handled in here was great.

The romance itself is super cute between Bebe and Annie.

The representation this has is also great: trans, lesbian, enby, and poc.

This is one of my new favourites! 5/5 stars
