A dark contemporary novel on girlhood, tackling sexism, abuse, and social media's dangers in small-town Ohio.
Sex Education meets Euphoria in this dark contemporary novel that tackles perfectionism, emotional abuse, and the dark side of social media. Fallon is a fixer. When her younger sister comes to her with basic anatomy and sex ed questions, she's shocked at how little she knows.
