A serious novel dealing with issues around social media, cyber bullying, intricate school relationships and suicide. Set in an American high school, it mirrors a tragic story of an Irish girl who committed suicide after being bullied by new class mates. The novel is told in the unusual first-person plural style so that the reader never is confident of what is truth and what is fiction within the narrative. A compelling story and one that was shortlisted for the SLARI Great Reads Award (Senior) 2016.
