The Falling Girls by Hayley Krischer

3.0

Shade has always wanted to be a cheerleader. She took gymnastics as a child, but she was bullied out of the classes by it-girl Chloe. The same Chloe that bullied her is now encouraging her to try out for the high school squad, and when she makes it, they quickly become close. But something isn’t right about Chloe and her two other best friends, also named Chloe. Tensions are running high, and Shade is now caught in the middle of something that just might turn deadly.

I liked this book! It was reminiscent of the 1980s cult classic Heathers, but make it modern day with cheerleaders. I’m not usually a big thriller person, but the plot had me hooked and I finished it in one sitting. Definitely check the trigger warnings before reading, because this book deals with A LOT of serious topics, from toxic relationships with parents to drug abuse.
