Summary "From the New York Times bestselling authors of I'm Not Dying with You Tonight comes a story about friendship, privilege, sports, and protest. With a rocky start to senior year, cheerleaders and lifelong best friends Eleanor and Chanel have a lot on their minds. Eleanor is still in physical therapy months after a serious concussion from a failed cheer stunt. Chanel starts making questionable decisions to deal with the mounting pressure of college applications. But they have each other's backs -- just as always, until Eleanor's new relationship with star quarterback Three starts a rift between them. Then, the cheer squad decides to take a knee at the season's first football game, and what seemed like a positive show of solidarity suddenly shines a national spotlight on the team -- and becomes the reason for a larger fallout between the girls. As Eleanor and Chanel grapple with the weight of the consequences as well as their own problems, can the girls rely on the friendship they've always shared? Praise for I'm Not Dying with You Tonight : A Barnes & Noble Book Club Pick "Compelling and powerful" -- Angie Thomas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give "A vital addition to the YA race relations canon." -- Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin "Important reading for both teenagers and adults." -- Hello Giggles "Not to be missed." -- Paste Magazine"-- Provided by Freading.
