Description

Told from alternating points of view, Chanel and Eleanor's rocky start to senior year gets more complex when the cheerleading team kneels for the national anthem and each girl grapples with the consequences.

It's been a rocky start to senior year. Eleanor is still in physical therapy months after a serious concussion from a failed cheer attempt; Chanel is putting tremendous pressure on herself to get into the best colleges. Eleanor's new relationship with star quarterback Three may be causing a rift between them. When the cheer squad decides to take a knee at the season's first football game, what seemed like a positive show of solidarity suddenly becomes the reason for a larger fallout between the girls. Grappling with the school's actions as well as their own problems, can the girls rely on the friendship they have always shared? -- adapted from jacket
