This dang graphic novel had me sobbing, to be honest. I loved it so much. It was so raw and real and I just loved it.

Annie is antisocial and kind of an outcast, but when she learns she has to add in an extracurricular to get scholarships for college, she's forced into trying out for the school's cheerleading team. Bebe is used to being in the spotlight, as much as she absolutely hates it, and everyone is constantly waiting for her to misstep or fall out of line just so they can blame it on her recent transition. When Annie and Bebe reconnect, both girls discover their own voices.

This was such a cute graphic novel! I picked it up on a whim because it was on KU and had a blast tapping through it. I loved the art and the fat representation, there was SO much diversity between bodies, skin color, and sexuality. I thought the plotline was adorable, though a little rushed, but it's definitely a cute graphic novel that deserves its place on the YA shelves.

”Seeing you go first let me know I could do it, too!”
- Cheer Up: Love and Pompoms

Tropes: Sports (Cheerleading), Friends to Enemies to Lovers, Friends to Lovers
Representation: Trans MC, Lesbian MC, Plus-size
CW: Transphobia, Fatphobia, Sexual Harassment

Cheer Up was short and sweet, but with a powerful message. I loved the growth that Bebe and Annie went through—Bebe as she become more comfortable with her identity and Annie as she opened up and learned to let others support her.
