Having read books by Adler in the past, I thought I knew what I was getting into with this book. However, it was a bit heavier than her previous novels. Home Field Advantage tells the age-old story of the quarterback/cheerleader romance, but makes it queer. Both girls, Amber and Jack, experience horrible misogyny and homophobia from their peers and community throughout the story and lean on each other for support. I just wish the book had been advertised differently so readers knew it was a more serious story. It is definitely not a fun, queer romance like many would think based on its cute rainbow cover.
