"Wang''s smart, technocentric debut-Gossip Girl meets M.T. Anderson''s Feed-addresses identity, public perception, and social media skewering." --Publisher''s Weekly
Kyla Cheng doesn''t expect you to like her. For the record, she doesn''t need you to. On track to be valedictorian, she''s president of her community club, a debate team champ, plus the yummy Mackenzie Rodriguez has firmly attached himself to her hip. But a week before college applications are due, a video of Kyla "doing it" with her crush-worthy English teacher is uploaded to her school''s website. It instantly goes viral, but here''s the thing: it''s not Kyla in the video.
With time running out, Kyla delves into a world of hackers, haters and creepy stalkers in an attempt to do the impossible-take something off the internet-all while dealing with the fallout from her own karmic footprint. Set in near-future Brooklyn, where privacy is a bygone luxury and every perfect profile masks damning secrets, The Takedown is a stylish, propulsive, and provocative whodunit, asking who would you rely on if your tech turned against you?
