i like how literally the book i read before this one was another young adult contemporary and i talked about in that review how i can't really handle ya contemporary because i just don't enjoy them.

... and then immediately picked up another young adult contemporary.

the cheerleaders was not bad at all. i enjoyed it, and read it in the span of like two days. enjoyable, somewhat easy to follow, and i was definitely invested in figuring out what happened. not bad at all. the ending was a little bit of a 'wtf' moment, but looking back at some things, it kinda makes sense? sorta?

This is a great novel in the thread of The Lovely Bones. Monica is trying to go through the motions of life after tragedy has struck her hometown and her family. He sister committed suicide soon after four other members of her cheerleading squad were killed in a devastating murder and an accident. When she realizes that there are some questions left unanswered, it leads her down a scary quest for the truth.

It flowed really fast, and admittedly I was caught off guard by the ending. In hindsight, a lot of the things mentioned in the book make a lot more sense once you know how it ends.

I also don’t know why they put that last chapter in, and I was hoping Ginny and Monica would get together tbh-
