Sixteen-year-old Lauren had a unique cognitive disorder that meant she took every statement at face value, leaving her open to mockery and outright abuse. When an experimental operation corrects her "innocence," a newly aware Lauren questions whether her problem was really a disability or something more sinister. Told in post-treatment journal entries and therapy transcripts, the dystopic mystery unfolds engagingly until the surprise reveal.
