pickRumors have a lot of power once they‘re generated and spread. Alice is slut-shamed at HS bc of rumors made up about her. The resolution was unusual but okay. “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the ‘truth‘” is called the truth-by-repetition (TBR) effect.

Prompt: SMALL TOWN SETTING
Moving to her husband‘s small home town was something Bess always wanted to do.
Addressed social issues as well as personal issues of fitting in.
There are secrets that the residents of Greyhill have kept for many years, and as the mystery unravels, the book's interest picks up and ends up with a few surprises.

pickI love her characters and scene setting. This one was particularly fun because it had several adult character storylines that overlapped but were not combined. It was fun to see their individual stories.

My favorite uptown girls are the ladies of Gossip Girl. I never finished the book series. Perhaps I'll do a reread and revisit them all over again.
I'd like to point out Blair, in the middle right picture, doing the universal hand gesture that says "Girl... do you see that? We are SO talking about this later." ?

RIP to a true individual. A maverick in his field and a visionary the likes of which the world may never see again. #RIPKennethAnger

I truly had the best time recording this week‘s episode of my book podcast: a conversation with author Iman Hariri-Kia (A HUNDRED OTHER GIRLS), in which she makes her case for The Clique as empowering social commentary. Technically, we‘re covering book three, but our chat extends to the whole series and touches on matters of pop culture, insecurity, mean girls, class, and more. 💋 link to listen in my bio!
