The Rumor Game by Dhonielle Clayton, Sona Charaipotra
5.0
Thank you Disney Hyperion and Netgalley for a review copy of this book.
This high school drama book follows elite students at a private school in Washington DC, where rumors show just how easy it is to spread lies about others and have it be believed.
It reminded me a lot about Mean Girls and other classic teen movies, but with the updated technology, which made everything much more heightened and faster to spread.
The book deals with some serious issues, but I appreciated how therapy was seen as something good to assist with them. A good step to share that many go to therapy for different reasons.
There are lots of twists and turns, but even though the novel was longer than I expected, I felt like everything made sense and I didn’t think things got dragged out, which can happen sometimes in novels like this. Instead it felt more realistic.
Highly recommend this book!
