"CUT explores the struggle between parents and kids: who gets to decide on the way you look?" ARC review

 

"You look like a floozy." That's how Spencer Hollis's dad and stepmom react when she shows up for her 13th birthday party with highlighted hair. They punish Spencer by forcibly cutting her hair short. Feeling like a freak, Spencer feverishly searches for a way to camouflage her horrible hair. Her demi-wig experiment ends in disaster when a boy grabs it and flings it around the school cafeteria. Hiding her hair under a cap results in rumors that she has lice. Her best friend won't hang out with Spencer; her basketball teammates tell her she belongs on the boy's team; and her photo is splashed all over social media.

        Her family is being ripped apart; her mom is accusing her dad of child abuse, TV reporters are circling like vultures, and her internet shares are exploding. As things spiral out of control, Spencer decides that the only way she can survive is by running away--to somewhere the internet doesn't exist. Only Spencer hadn't realized how dangerous and lonely it would be living alone on the shores of an ice-covered lake. She's in danger of freezing to death and there's only one person who can help: the dad she's vowed to never speak to again.
