I think that Jack should be allowed to take a quarter of every game to physically fight the boys on the team until they get their heads out of their asses.
I truly loved everything about this book! I loved the characters (at least the main ones), I loved the relationship. It had just the perfect amount of football in it to fill my craving. It was so cute and it had me actually dying. Oh this was just such a great book I loved it so much and will never regret reading this!

this felt like reading fanfic written by someone way too into tumblr in 2013
Amber really wants to be the next captain of the cheerleader squad, however, it is not as easy as it seems. The former quarterback of their team died in an accident and is replaced by a total stranger. And not everyone is welcoming towards the new and female quarterback. To top it all, there is love in the air!
I’m always amazed when authors manage to mix serious themes in light-hearted novels, and so did Adler with “Home Field Advantage”. Her latest book is indeed a sweet and funny f/f romance novel but also mixed with the following issues: racism, homophobia and misogyny.
“Home Field Advantage” is taking a refreshing stance at the romance trope, where we have a cheerleader falling in love with the quarterback of the team. And I absolutely loved how the relationship of our two characters evolved.
The book is written in a dual P.O.V and as always I find this to be the best thing while reading a romance novel because you can see what the characters think and feel towards each other.
The reason why I “only” gave it a 4-star rating is because (personally) I felt like something was missing. I loved the friendship, I enjoyed the romance, but I kind of wished to get more out of the story.
Overall, “Home Field Advantage” is a light-hearted and educating read that you can enjoy with a great cup of tea in the evening. I can recommend this book if you want to evade real life stress just for a few hours. I promise that even though serious topics are addressed, you’re still going to smile a lot while reading this book.

Everyone was entirely too passive with the larger issues going on such as the misogynistic bullying with Jack that was too public for the school to not even have a passive "don't do THAT again" directed at the characters.
Everyone was bland too and seemed to just tick off boxes on high school stereotypes; also I didn't like how it seemed likeAmber was going to forgive Cara quickly for knowing about the blackmailing of Miguel.
