Just another data point on the mystery discussion... but it was how the author referred to cheer in her post that set off my very first fiction alarms. A real cheerleader would never have used some of the terms she used.

So, if this was based on a real set of twins, but the author wanted to use cheer instead of twirl for her roman à clef, that would explain why the terminology was wrong...
