  100. About the Publisher

She turned off the camera and checked the comments and likes on her last video, about cryptocurrency, one of her more challenging endeavors. A few hundred comments, including the usual: people who liked her dress, people who didn’t like her dress, someone who thought there was too much of a glare coming in through the window, someone who saw fit to bash the person who complained about the glare, and so on and so forth. Not too many people had much to say about the actual content. Never mind: YouTube empires had been founded on less. She scrolled down until her eyes snagged on a comment from jt76. This person had been popping up more and more in the comments, and always had something kind to say.

She thought of jt76 as a he, but of course it could be a lovesick lesbian or a transitioning teenager or a masquerading Mom Squad member. Maybe jt76 wasn’t even kind! Maybe he (or she) was from the SEC and was going to arrest her for some sort of violation she didn’t even know she’d committed.

This time it was: Really succinct explanation, I’ve never really understood this topic before! Thank you for condensing it so well!

At least somebody thought she was good at something. Even if nobody thought she was nice.

The Squad

We’re not sure where you heard this, but honestly. Somebody told you Esther would be the homecoming queen? No. Sorry. You’ve been misinformed. Esther was more like that girl who manages the boys’ teams instead of playing her own sport. You know that girl, right? Always walking around with a clipboard, telling people where they needed to be and what time the bus was leaving. That was Esther. Homecoming queen? Please.

Sherri

Sherri’s counselor had done a lot of legwork to help them settle into their new lives, greasing the wheels in important and invisible ways. Apparently the surf camp at the beginning of the summer was nearly impossible to get into without a lot of prior planning! And Katie had secured a spot. Now Katie was enrolled in a series of one-week camps through the Youth Services program in town (this week’s was Knitting for Preteens; Sherri had never learned to knit herself and was in awe of the collections of stitches Katie had been bringing home each day) and Sherri, also with the counselor’s help, had a job interview. Here she was at Derma-You, a medical spa in Danvers, interviewing with the office manager, a woman named Jan. Sherri was carrying her fake resumé in a new bag she’d bought for $29.99 at Marshalls. She thought it looked like it cost quite a bit more than that, though.
