Books like Good Girls by Laura Ruby
Good Girls follows a high school student as a photo of her circulates across social media, turning her into a public figure.

As she deals with classmates, teachers, and her family’s expectations, she learns that being a 'good girl' is more than the roles imposed by society and that her true self cannot be captured in a single frame.
