The Rumor Game by Dhonielle Clayton, Sona Charaipotra
5.0
A thrilling and enticing read that will keep you yearning for more, The Rumor game is a book that outlines the life to a teen in high school, a fine script that highlights the life of a teenager, showing that high school, despite the sugarcoating, is not truly what everyone expects.
"All it takes is one spark to start a blaze."
These words ring true. The Rumor game by Dhonielle Clayton and Sona Charaipotra is a YA thriller that inherits the true meaning of rumors, and how it can turn the life of a person upside down. It is fair to say that this book is now one of my favorite reads, and I cannot wait to read more of the Author's works!
The plot is centered around 3 girls in Foxham prep, and the mixed POV's did well to help the reader (AKA me) experience the different points of views as well as feelings that made up the plot. The chapters were insanely intriguing and captivating, taking me in a moments notice.
This book honestly shows everything that a person, wether a teen or adult, can experience in their daily lives, and it exhibits bullying through fake rumors, as well as how social media can sometimes have disastrous effects, and honestly this book meant to much to be because I know people who had gone through, not necessarily the same thing, but rumors in general.
Not to mention, this book is quite diverse with a wide range of characters from different races, and I liked that. Georgie was by far my favorite, and the desi representation had me bawling my eyes out in happiness. As well as Cora's character, shew as really interesting and seeing more of her POV's had me delighted with joy.
Bryn's POV and her story was also really interesting!
Honestly the author did not miss out any characters at all and they had developed all the characters thoroughly through out, not missing one detail behind each character.
I honestly have goosebumps from this book.
