Intriguing read
The plot of the story is intriguing. I couldn't put this book down until I reached the last page. Language of the book is easy to understand and Felicia has made good use of vocabulary. Cover page of the book has the power to attract readers. Narration is clear and in flow. Pace of the story is fine and I didn't felt bored anytime while reading. Don't think twice and go ahead with this one. It will be worth your time.

A must read, highly recommended, educative book!
The story begins with an Introduction to Blair's life. In spite of being a great student, she faces social issues in the school. She is targeted and bullied by the popular 'Ice Queen' called Krystal. Krystal has divided the entire school into castes & classes with Class A comprising of the Elites including herself and Class C being the lowest in which she places Blair. Krystal's hatred for Blair intensifies when she sees her ex-boyfriend David and Blair together. What unfolds next is a deceiving scheme that neither Blair nor David see coming. As they get close, they share texts, photos, and go out together to places. But one morning, both get charged with sexting and spreading of child pornography. Blair and David have to race against time to find the person who has framed them.This was quite an intense read, definitely a page-turner. Through this story, the author has shown the dangers of dating in the digital age. Teenagers are often impulsive and over-trusting. They easily fall for traps due to their inadequate knowledge of laws and regulations regarding cyber-bullying. The person who framed them was well versed with the dark side of the digital age and had enough knowledge of the laws to place the entire blame on the innocent couple. This is a fast-paced book but will keep you on the edge of your seat with twists and suspense. The narration is strong. The author has portrayed the teens accurately and addressed important issues relating to cyberbullying, revenge porn, sextortion, and court proceedings. I loved the discussion questions listed at the end of the book as they are thought-provoking.A HIGHLY recommended read for people of all ages, especially parents and teenagers. The book proved to be very informative.

A tragic story
Hoping that you have read the book description I would not take much time in telling that. The author has discussed a very popular but yet very rarely talked about topic, that is cyber bullying. This a very common now a days and is intended to hurt the victim mentally and torture him. The book will be of great use for students, teachers and parents . Specially for students as they fall prey to this more often.The story is educating, interesting and full of twists. The way author has narrated it , it's even better.✍🏻I was totally glued to my seat while reading it. Most of the teenagers face the problem. The author illustrates how these criminals torture the victims, without thinking what the victims go through. We cannot control the criminal but we can definitely educate ourselves about this so that we take the required precautions.

A must-read for teens, parents, educators and administrators
Felicia Farber captures the angst related to teen sexting, texting, and those ever-so-popular groups of girls who roam the halls of high schools everywhere. I call this a must-read because besides the compelling story of what happens to an innocent girl who is targeted, this type of bullying is carefully taken apart, addressed in a way teens as well as adults can understand. High schoolers and even middle schoolers will relate to the feeling of isolation and fear the main characters experience. Parents and educators, including school administrators, will find deep insights into what happens to the parents of these teens, the teens and their peers, and how easy administration can give into pressure, thus condemning a child before fully investigating the offense. There is a good twist at the end. There is relief that students think through the sexting to prove the victims (both the boy and the girl) innocent. Take the time to read Ice Queen. Take the time to think through the discussion questions. It is truly a must-read especially where persons of all ages are glued to the send button, sometimes without thinking of the consequences to others. Excellent and compelling read.

A much needed story to be told
Young adults need to know there are consequences when abusing the technical freedoms they have by using cell phones and lap tops to bully, embarrass, harass, and abuse their constituents. This has become a gravely serious issue with teens leading to suicides, depression and drug abuse. Praise to Felicia for giving this issue all her attention, as a lawyer and especially as a Mom. Let's get this book, dealing with such important issues, into the hands of our young adults asap.

Very relevant and timely read for young (and old!) adults
The book is well written and provides timely information about the harsh reality of cyber bullying. This is a difficult time for young adults to grapple with the harsh reality of victimization, and this novel provides a realistic view of the consequences that confront young adults as a result of cyber bullying!
