Summary:

In a poignant exploration of adolescence, a homeschooled girl finds solace in literature that echoes her sense of being unwanted. Through her literary journey, she encounters "Insomniac__," a seemingly indifferent internet correspondent whose attention provides her a semblance of companionship. As she matures and enters college, she grapples with her fear of solitude and the yearning for a place where she belongs. The narrative beautifully captures the intricacies of her inner world, the fleeting connections with others, and the painful process of growing up. Her experiences culminate in a harrowing confrontation that tests the limits of her resilience and the vulnerability of her trust, leaving her at a crossroads between the innocence of her past and the uncertain promise of her future.
