An eight-year-old poses as a pregnant mother of four on a baby name message board. A college dropout delivers Cabbage Patch births at a roadside attraction. A lonely regular chases high scores on a dive bar’s Erotic Photo Hunt game. A cave girl is raised by an influencer mother. Told with tenderness and precision, these linked stories hum with the strange holiness of coming-of-age. This unforgettable debut captures the ache of growing up online and in the South—when the internet was weird, hypnotic, and resided in the glow of the family computer room.”
