My Thoughts
The extent of my knowledge on cheer leading is what I have seen on TV and on movies. This is one of those sports I was never interested in when I was in school, so reading this story was fun because it was something completely out of my knowledge wheel. The story is about Landry and is told . She is a young girl on a path trying to find her faith and redemption. She feels like she is not worthy or deserving of any happiness. She has big hurts stemming from her father and him leaving the family at such a young age and has a hard time coming to terms in forgiving and reconnecting with him.
The love story between Landry and Cole was one of those that you think about when you reminisce about your first love or what you think your first love could be. Cole is the football player, Christian boy whom Landry thinks is way out of her league. But Cole is good for her and he helps her see that she is worthy of the love he has for her.
Overall I liked the story and I think young adults will definitely enjoy it. There was some trending themes regarding cyber bullying which is relevant to today's society and what teenagers deal with so the story is very relatable to that age group. My only negative is that there was some mild language towards the beginning of the story that I didn't feel like it was necessary to make the story good. So just a warning if that is something that takes effect into your reading.
