"Mack snuck a look over her shoulder at the cheerleaders just as Veronica took her place at the top of the pyramid. Time seemed to slow as Veronica swung her long, blond ponytail over her shoulder, pompoms high in the air..." Mackenzie is used to being different from other kids--and to being bullied for not fitting into the rigid social expectations of her Catholic high school. Luckily, Mack's best friend Lila has her back so school isn't the total hell it could be. But it's pretty damn close. Until something very mysterious happens--Mack becomes a cheerleader magnet. Even she has a hard time believing it. And Lila is not too happy about her friend's sudden popularity with the cool kids. Is Mack being set up for an epic fail? Or is she finally headed for acceptance-and maybe even romance... M.B. Guel is the winner of Bella's "fan fiction to published author" contest. Queerleaders is their debut novel.

This book is going to get some very mixed reviews.
On the one hand I can see that this can be read as a cute romance. It moves along at a good pace with some sweet moments.
I can also see it being problematic for some Readers. The main character gets horribly outed. The rampant homophobia was a bit stomach churning and was largely unchecked and therefore condoned. Mack had food thrown at her, was shoved and verbally abused. The goal to snog as many cheerleaders as possible also felt a bit icky as people were starting to develop actual feelings. Mack neglected her best friend in her pursuit of cheerleaders. I don't know. It all felt a bit trashy and gross.
The ending was somewhat of a happy Hollywood cliche ending with Mack finally getting some support from fellow students. I had a small smile at the end so I must have felt that the story redeemed itself somewhat. I'm not sure if it will be a case of too little, too late for some Readers though. (
