She’s been told her dad is a bad person and that he would hurt them if he finds them, but doesn’t know much else about her past. So Steph relies on her internet friends and a service called CatNet as her only social outlet. But CatNet is special. When CheshireCat, the sentient AI who admins the site, becomes protective of Steph and her friends, it has real world impact. This book is weird in all the best ways, starting with the title. It has a perfectly hateable villain, action that will thrill readers, lessons in radical acceptance, and subtle commentary on online privacy and how the internet knows just about everything.
