About the Books:

Maggie Gonzalez has a great family, a goofy group of friends, and dreams of being a photographer. But when she's tasked with picking an escort for her little sister’s quinceañera, Maggie has to face the truth: that her feelings about her friends—and her future—aren’t as simple as she’d once believed.

She's forced to confront new (and old) feelings for three of her friends: Amanda, her best friend and first-ever crush; Matthew, her ex-boyfriend twice-over who refuses to stop flirting with her; and Dani, the new girl who has romantic baggage of her own.

And as the weeks wind down and the boundaries between friendship and love become hazy.

It’s a fun coincidence that every new varsity cheerleader at Oak Haven High is—or soon comes out as—queer. But now captain Davie Cathee is being accused of “discrimination” against straight students. She’s given an ultimatum: recruit a straight athlete for the team or the funding for their competitive cheer season will take a major tumble.
Enter Kendall Hayes, the edgy, mysterious new girl. When Davie sees that Kendall has a boyfriend, she quickly recruits her. Problem solved. Until she finds out that Kendall’s actually bisexual…and newly single...and now they're falling for each other. Can Kendall go back in the closet long enough to save the squad? Or will Davie find the courage to love her new crush out loud, even if it might mean the end of the queerleaders? It's a riveting, absurdist tale from the team behind .
