I liked Faye’s development. She kept trying to push people away but could never stop caring about them. The rest of the story felt rushed, maybe. I think there was an attempt to humanize Bryce, Cody’s sister, but she is just the embodiment of the worst of high school. Also, Cody was a frumpy, sad sack with no spine who annoyed me, for some reason. I also wanted to know more about the Loser Table, but they dispersed rather quickly. I liked Elvira though.

All the bad parts of high school are here, and I wanted more understanding of the evil social media creature. The creature had its reign in an Instagram account and would instant-message teens to kill themselves or hurt others.

but the creature couldn’t harm anyone physically without a vessel to do it, so what’s the drawback to blocking Shelby???

I just didn’t like anyone in this story. Everyone acted horrid, and I hated how the characters demonized Cody’s mom for having a mental illness. In real life, wouldn’t most people be coddling or feeling sorry for Cody?
