I should preface this post with a warning...I'm a sucker for any show on the CW or ABC Family. And one of those shows is Hellcats. It's about a Memphis cheerleading squad and their quest to make it to Nationals. Obviously this show is geared towards teeny boppers, but that also means it's right up my alley (Bonus fact: 1 of the main characters is from High School Musical and the other is from a early 2000 pop duo, Aly & AJ). Anyways, this show is inspired by a book. Once I found this out, I freaked out and pulled out my laptop and looked it up on Amazon so I could add it to my Wish List.
On to the book....it was surprisingly good. It's not going to win any awards or be a bestseller, but it was a fun story and you can tell the author put a lot of thought and effort into the book. And sometimes you just need to read a fluff book. You know what I mean? A good story that doesn't hurt your brain or make you have weird dreams.
I won't launch into a long post about the book and how fun of a read it is, but here's a quick rundown:
1. College cheerleaders are crazy. Either because of the stunts that they do or because they're on their 2nd degree because they don't want to stop cheering and their school gave them ANOTHER scholarship.
2. It follows 3 different teams and their path to Nationals. The differences/similarities between all 3 schools was interesting...I can't say more than that without getting into major plot details, but if you read the book, you'll know what I mean.
Overall, I really liked this book.
(It's kind of embarrassing to admit this, but I totally looked up these cheerleading teams on YouTube once I finished the book so I could see their routines.)
