It wasn’t all that cool to be a cheerleader in the 1970’s at UConn…

When Susie makes the impulsive decision to join her old friend Liz on the cheering squad, she never imagines how profoundly it would affect her life.
Susie’s dad lost his job while she was at exclusive Smith College. She was forced to transfer to UConn, and forced to grow up fast, realizing how important money is and that independence has a price.
Disoriented, worried about her future and friendless on the new huge campus, Susie is swept up by her old friend from junior high.
Liz is captain of the cheerleading squad and determined to win back her former flame, the enigmatic star running back of the football team, Bryan Granger.
Bryan thinks of Liz as a family member, someone he’s been protecting since they were in grade school.
But he and Susie have an unreasonable attraction to each other, the kind they struggle to ignore.
They met once before when they were young and neither of them ever forgot.
There are so many decisions to make in college and far too many choices.
Susie never imagined that the hardest choice she would have to make would be between her best friend Liz, who appreciates her no matter what, and Bryan, a young man she admires and craves to be worthy of.
Is it wrong for a girl to fall for her best friend’s obsession? According to Susie’s conscience, the answer is… complicated.
The Cheerleader is a stand-alone college sports romance novel about coming of age in college in the 70’s, about friendship, romance and a love triangle, and about making difficult choices.
