Work hard and believe in yourself. That’s what they always tell you. But that’s not really it at all. It’s the things you can’t say aloud, the knowledge that what you’re doing, climbing high, jumping, hurling yourself into the air, hooking arms, legs around each other to create something that will collapse with the bobble of one knee, a twist of a wrist.

— A daring book about the politics among teenage girls/cheerleaders, of all the things they are willing to do just to be at the top of the pyramid and hold power. Great read!
