Bookroo's summary

Dylan Mahoney, shunned after a scandal, escapes into a world of fundamentalist blogs, posing as the devout 'Faith.' As she bonds with Abigail and her enigmatic brother, Dylan's double life teeters on the edge. Will she reveal her true self or remain trapped in her web of lies? The stakes rise as Dylan navigates friendship, identity, and the consequences of deceit.

From the publisher

Dylan Mahoney is living one big unholy lie. Thanks to a humiliating and painfully public sexting incident, Dylan has become the social pariah at her suburban Chicago high school. She’s ignored by everyone–when she’s not being taunted–and estranged from her two best friends. So when Dylan discovers the blogs of homeschooled fundamentalist Christian girls, she’s immediately drawn into their fascinating world of hope chests, chaperoned courtships, and wifely submission. Blogging as Faith, her devout and wholesome alter ego, Dylan befriends Abigail, the online group’s queen bee. After staying with Abigail and her family for a few days, Dylan begins to grow closer to Abigail (and her intriguingly complicated older brother). Soon, Dylan is forced to choose: keep living a lie . . . or come clean and face the consequences.
