She respects the decisions of her rabbi father and encourages her friends to observe the rules of their Orthodox faith. But when she sees her best friend cast out of the community over a seemingly innocent transgression, Yoyo's eyes are opened to the truth of her neighbors' hypocrisies for the first time. And what she sees leaves her shocked and unmoored. As Yoyo's frustration builds, so does the pressure to speak out, even if she can only do so anonymously on TikTok, an app that's always been forbidden to her. But when one of her videos goes viral--and her decisions wind up impacting not only her own life but also her relationship with the boy she's falling for--Yoyo's world is thrown into chaos. She is forced to choose which path to take, for her community, for her family, and most importantly, for herself"
