Review
Anna is a high school senior who ditched all her friends for a boy and then has to beg their forgiveness when her superstar boyfriend dumps her. To make things even worse, someone has decided to hack into student social media accounts and share that information with the world. As more and more secrets are revealed, Anna struggles with her own issues. Will her secret text messages bashing her friends be revealed? Did her ex even care about her? Will her friends forgive her? Does she have feelings for her best friend Jethro? On top of this, Anna suffers from social anxiety disorder and these situations are making everything worse. With the help of her friends and strategies she learned in therapy, she tries to power through it all. The horror of invasion of privacy, threatened friendships, and complicated love relationships are all topics teenagers can relate to. The pace is quick and the message is strong. Everyone will be double-checking passwords after reading this book.
