Max is a gymnast who can no longer pursue his passion. Taylor is a cheerleader with passion to spare.
A brutal attack put an end to Maxwell Giordano’s gymnastics career and ruined his junior year. So he and his family moved across the country for a fresh start, and all he wants now is to keep his head down and graduate in peace with the rest of the class of 2004.
Taylor Scott made cheer captain! And her greatest dream is to take the squad to regionals. Maybe even nationals! Except none of the other cheerleaders share her ambition, so she’s resigned herself to another year of cheering for the worst football team in the state.
And then a new boy moves in next door, and he’s everything she’s been dreaming of! If she can just convince him to join the squad, the two of them could take it all the way. But complications loom: Taylor’s jealous boyfriend, Max’s overprotective family, and then there’s the small matter of Max’s current gender…
HOW TO FLY is the first book of WHEN YOU FELL FROM HEAVEN, a slow-burn cheerleading trans romance from the author of THE SISTERS OF DORLEY
