Fitting in. Not being a subject of ridicule. Fortunately, she has a mom (and from what I gather, a dad too) who can help her navigate well the minefield of others' opinions, jabs and jeers.

Subtle shifts are as powerful, if not more so, than cataclysmic ones. Eve's life will change when she gets her phone.
