What a fantastic read and timely story. This is our YA All Iowa Reads, and a perfect selection for this year. It deals with the online radicalization of teens into white supremacists through the lens of a murder-mystery thriller. It also delves into the nuances around truths, lies, facts, and alternative facts. The plot kept me engrossed and the social commentary was poignant.
