About this title

Synopsis

Online learning is more personalized than face-to-face. "Don't @ me."

Teacher and single mom Naomi Wellington is always biting off more than she can chew. At the rate she's going, though, she'll need the mouth of a hippo to have a shot of chewing it all-especially since her students aren't the only ones who need her.

Throughout a chaotic school year, Naomi's best friend discovers her wife has a mysterious disease doctors can't diagnose, her daughter struggles with debilitating social anxiety, and her mother calls her repeatedly. From jail.

Hyper-involvement in her students' lives means she misses things. A lot of things. And when one of her students shows up at her door alone and in trouble, Naomi's urge to solve one person's problems might result in alienating the people she loves most.

Trade in your popcorn for pop rocks in this modern epistolary that explores friendship, online relationships, and what it means to be family.
