(2) YA White high-school senior Winter faces internet notoriety after a racially offensive post she means as an ironic joke. Winter's reactions to the perceived injustice are squirm-inducing but feel honest to her character. Readers willing to give Winter a chance at redemption will find a thoughtful coming-of-age story that underlines the power of empathy, community, and believing in one's own capacity for positive change.
