Very very clever. Deeply feminist, as modern day bullying and revenge porn amongst highschoolers is deftly interwoven with witch burnings in 1600s Scotland. No magic wands, but plenty of rope to cling to. Special shout out to

Alisha's comments about her love of Cat, and Glenn's consistent kindness.
