Katie, it’s even worse than that- it’s kids doing bad things to other kids. A very depressing view of the future.

I have a really hard time reading about bad things happening to children. I’m sorry to hear that Everything You Want Me To Be wasn’t any deeper though. I was intrigued by the description.

It could very well be. I also freely admit, that I’m hyper-sensitive these days, what with fake news/sensationalism etc. I know it’s fiction, but it felt so tone deaf. Have you read it?

Do you think it was meant ironically — in that these characters are so out of touch with reality that for them it is the most dangerous place on earth?

Probably a good idea! I might be torn between wanting to know and wanting to know nothing.

I have a 15, 13, and 11 year-old! Eek. Teens + technology scares me. One thing we have going for us, though, is that we’re not wealthy! Ha!

Kids can really ruin their lives then. I will hold off on this one for now, though I’ve heard a lot of raves about it.

It might not be right for you right now! That aside, minus the hyperbolic title, it was a really good story of how bad things can go when you mix hormones, too much money and technology.

You would have a much better perspective on it than I might have. I thought the story was great in how it covered the messiness of teenage life, but I could not let go of the title. Given what we hear and see every day I just can’t consider the life of wealthy teens to be the most dangerous place on earth.

You have to really be paying attention sometimes to catch the underlying happenings. That first book you mentioned catches my attention with the shifting chapter POVs that piece stories together. Definitely want to read it.
