so-soThe Rumor Game is a young adult contemporary novel about cyber bullying and sex shaming among the children of Washington D.C.‘s elite. This novel had a lot to say but wasn‘t boring or preachy. The storyline moved along quickly and it was entertaining. Like the authors‘ previous novel (Tiny Pretty Things) I think this would make for an entertaining movie or series.
so-soJust finished. It was ok, but it dealt with some pretty hard subjects. I like that we got good representation with each of the 3 girls.

It was really good and tackled some very hard subjects. I liked that all the characters faced consequences for their actions. The atmosphere was great. I wish the secondary character had been more fleshed out as we only really got to know Baez and Riley, and a bit about Jase outside of the MCs. Lots of rep which I liked. I would have liked to learn more about JuJu especially, and Chance as well.
This is a book I‘ve started reading a few days ago. It‘s told in the P.O.V of 3 different high school girls. I‘m interested to see where this goes

Overall I really liked this book but I didn‘t love it. It was very real. It feels very much like over privileged teen agers let loose in a society where they see themselves as self-sufficient adults, but are really scared little kids looking for help and acceptance.
