*Thank you NetGalley for providing a digital arc copy of this book*

"Cheer Up" manages to discuss difficult topics with ease and emotion! The cast of characters is very diverse and realistic, with most characters being both flawed and lovable, and the relationships (romance, friendships and family) are all very wholesome and evolve with the progression of the story. I also enjoyed how cheerleading is portrayed, liberating it from the more typical idea of the "clicky-famous-girls-only" high school sport that most media tend to show. The art suits the story really well, I really liked the style and colours. Overall, a very diverse, light hearted read that still discusses serious topics with lovely art, highly recommend!
