Industry Reviews "Angst is what 'The Cheer Leader' is all about....Jo's first love affair with a 'wild' older boy whom she naively believes loves her, leads to a horrified sense of betrayal, an anorexic breakdown in her first year of college, and finally a tentative recovery."

"Jill McCorkle promises the prolific excellence of an Anne Tyler." Allen
