This was a fun one! The story of a dark entity that travels through livestreams manages to tackle themes of social isolation, grief, regret, gender identity exploration, and acceptance. 

I thought it had some great representation of agoraphobia and trauma responses. The family’s differing reactions to her mental health issues were also really well done (showing realistic reactions). 

Disclosure: I received an eARC and gifted finished copy from the publisher.
