Dare Me by Megan Abbott

This is the 3rd book I've read by this author and I really like her style. This one deals with cheer leading....a topic I don't really relate to at all, but Abbot captures the grit of it so well.
From the NYTimes:

At its core, “Dare Me” reveals something very true about the consuming, sometimes ugly, nature of female friendships. But Abbott is also on to something bigger. Addy describes a girl making out with a boy in the hall, “practicing the telling of the moment even as the moment slips from her.” It is this moment of adolescence that “Dare Me” captures so beautifully, the in-­betweenness, “like a thing arrested between coming and going. Like the second before a crouch becomes a bound.” The story of girls old enough for sex but young enough that time still goes by at a crawl. “That was a long time ago,” Addy says about an event at camp. “That was last summer.”
