The book explores how damaging labels can be—from Good Kid to Bad Kid—and how they shape our choices and identities throughout our lives.

Her fine art has been shown in group and solo shows in New York City, Chicago, and Detroit, illustrations have been featured in publications such as Sleek Magazine and Vice and she received her BA with honours from NYU's Gallatin School for Individualized Study in 2017. Sofia Szamosi is also the illustrator for Whole Girl by Sadie Radinsky (Sounds True, Feb 2021). Originally from New York City, she now lives in western Massachusetts.
