By combining in the celebration of the Spanish holiday el Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead), Cooner shows that grief and acceptance of the loss of a close family member as Torrey’s family try to pick up the pieces of their life after moving from Colorado to Texas. ![]() Sisterhood is a main theme, as Torrey is trying to hold on to the memories of her sister, Miranda. ![]() But as I continued, there are so many themes that Cooner covers.

She thrives to be popular, focuses her time on fashion and makeup, and social media are her go-to’s. From an outside perspective, Torrey Grey is your typical 16 year old in today’s age. ![]()
