About This Book
Reach for this book if your teenager seems to have two different personalities: the shy, quiet version they present in person and the witty, confident version they express through text. It is an ideal pick for students navigating the social anxieties of high school or those who feel misunderstood by their peers. The story follows Haley, who begins an intense digital friendship with a boy named Martin, unaware that he is actually the person she thinks she dislikes in real life. At its heart, this is a story about the masks we wear and the courage it takes to be vulnerable without the safety of a screen. While it is a sweet romance, it deeply explores themes of identity, social belonging, and the nuances of communication. Parents will appreciate the clever dialogue and the relatable portrayal of modern adolescent life, though it does include some typical teenage language and romantic tension suitable for ages 12 and up.
