In this sweet and funny new f/f romance from the author of Cool for the Summer, a cheerleader and the school's newest quarterback are playing to win, but might lose their hearts in the process.
Amber McCloud’s dream is to become cheer captain at the end of the year, but it’s an extra-tall order to be joyful and spirited when the quarterback of your team has been killed in a car accident. For both the team and the squad, watching Robbie get replaced by newcomer Jack Walsh is brutal. And when it turns out Jack is actually short for Jaclyn, all hell breaks loose.
The players refuse to be led by a girl, the cheerleaders are mad about the changes to their traditions, and the fact that Robbie’s been not only replaced but outshined by a QB who wears a sports bra has more than a few Atherton Alligators in a rage. Amber tries for some semblance of unity, but it quickly becomes clear that she's only got a future on the squad and with her friends if she helps them take Jack down.
Just one problem: Amber and Jack are falling for each other, and if Amber can't stand up for Jack and figure out how to get everyone to fall in line, her dream may come at the cost of her heart.
Dahlia Adler's Home Field Advantage is a sparkling romance about fighting for what - or who - you truly want.

Home field advantage by Dahlia Adler - Published by @wednesdaybooks
When the star quarterback dies in a tragic accident, Jack has her chance to join the team, transferring from another school and being a girl, the team does not want to accept her. The whole team and the cheerleaders are on the warpath.
Amber is aspiring to be cheer captain next year and wants to help Jack fit in without ruining her chances next year.
Trouble is Amber can't seem to help how she feels about Jack and having to keep it secret in a group of people who all seem to be homophobic is making Amber realize that she might not be ready to be out of the closet yet.
Super cute LGBTQ book. I loved that the author didn't just include same sex romance into this book, but also blew apart gender stereotyping in books. The fact that Jack is an amazing QB just makes it harder for the boys to accept her into the fold and they make things really hard for her and you can see where she wants to give up and go home but she does her best to ride it out.
I like that the book took on some heavy topics but still kept the book upbeat enough to not feel like a drag. I enjoyed it!
