My Mother The Cheerleader by Robert Sharenow

I finished reading this book . . . now my thoughts . . .

I would give this book 3 stars. It held my attention, and the subject was not at all what I thought it was going to be, however, there was just so much more that could've been added. Why did Pauline feel the necessity to go down and be a cheerleader in the first place. The relationship between Pauline and Charlotte could have been expanded. I don't know if it's just me or not, but it almost seemed as if Pauline was jealous of Louise. When Mr. Miller notices her sharp mind, and tries to make her feel better when her mother sets out to purposely embarrass her. The book was definitely a sad one. Not uplifting at all.
