The author of Girl Against the Universe and Liars, Inc. plunges readers into a world where the internet is always watchingand judgingin this compelling story about mistakes, repercussions, and online vigilante justice. Perfect for fans of Sarah Darer Littmans Backlash or Robyn Schneiders The Beginning of Everything. After waking up from a coma, Genevieve Grace cant remember the car crash that killed her boyfriend Dallas, a YouTuber turned teen music idol. Genevieve knows she was driving, but because of what's been reported in the media, everyone assumes the other driver, Brad Freeman, is guilty. As she slowly pieces together the night of the accident, Genevieve is hit with a sickening sense of dreadwhat if she's the one at fault? While the internet and social media viciously condemn Brad, Genevieve escapes to her fathers house near Zion National Park to hide from curious classmates and intrusive reporters. But she quickly realizes that she cant run away from the accident. And eventually, she will have to come to grips with what happenedand her role in it.

4 stars! I had no real complaints except that the characters felt inaccessible a lot of the time. Mainly I just don't think it was anything super memorable, but I did have fun reading and would definitely pick up future endeavors from Paula.

Full review at http://howlinglibraries.com as always!

Linear "This is how it happened " is a more civilized way of saying "see what had happened was". And makes you seem less guilty LOL 7y
howlinglibraries @Linear 😂😂😂😂 I love this 7y

I wasn't sure about this book at first - another YA amnesia story?! - but in the end I really liked it. It tackles a lot of topics, including the internet and how it both connects us and torments us!
Have you read this? Tell me what you thought. Also loved the National Park setting 🌲🌿🐾🍃
