This riveting novel from the award-winning author of Where I Want to Be explores the issues of social media: the desire to be someone else, real versus online friends, and the risks of posting your personal life online.

“Griffin elevates the mean girl plot with spot-on insights into teen social politics and quirky, multidimensional characters.”—Booklist

“Will speak strongly to readers whose social lives are lived through social networks.”—BCCB

THE PLAYERS: New girl Raye Archer and her unlikely partner-in-crime, Ice Queen Ella Parker.

THE PLAYED: Ella’s ex, Julian Kilgarry.

THE PLAN: Create an online identity, use it to charm Julian, then use information gained through that faux-relationship to sabotage him.

THE OUTCOME: Better. . . and worse. . . than Raye ever could have imagined.

“Griffin mines familiar territory—cyberbullying and mean girls—in a novel brimming with deception and manipulation.”—School Library Journal

“Strong pacing and a sympathetic protagonist ought to keep readers hooked.”—Publishers Weekly

“A voyeuristic look at teen networking.”—Children’s Literature

“A fast-paced read.”—VOYA

“Will speak strongly to readers whose social lives are lived through social networks.”—BCCB
