caseyjoreads 's review for:

Redwood and Ponytail by K.A. Holt
5.0

Oh this is so good! A model of what dual voices *CAN* be. What novels-in-verse *CAN* be. What stories about crushes between a cheerleader and a jock *CAN* be.

From the opening, I love the Greek chorus of Alexei. And I love how the voices echo each other in the poetry, meeting up like two instruments in a symphony.

And the ways Tam notices Kate being different on her own vs with her cheerleader friends is so real.

SpoilerBonus points for the cheerleader realizing she enjoys being the mascot, even though it isn't a status role.
