This was the sweetest and most heartfelt graphic novel! I loved Bebe and Annie. I just wanted to hug them both anytime something transphobic or homophobic happened. I also wanted to punch all the transphobic assholes.
I loved that Bebe and Annie got to figure things out together and grow and be themselves. Also, I loved how they were complete opposites! With Bebe being more elegant and Annie being more goth/punk. I also loved that they had a whole team of queer cheerleaders that surrounded them with support and acceptance (after being called out). I really loved Cheer Up! and I would give anything to read more of this story. Cheer Up! is getting five stars from me.
