(3) YA Fifteen-year-old Lara's cyberbullying-provoked suicide attempt leaves no one unscathed. First-person narration shifts between Lara, her ex–best friend, and each girl's eighth-grade sibling as they recount the events that led to the bullying and experience its aftermath. An unusually nuanced look at bullying's effects on whole families, in which all characters are flawed yet none are vilified.
