The Rumor Game, by Dhonielle Clayton, Sona Charaipotra
3.0
Foxham Prep, the posh private school for the children of DC’s elite, is teeming with drama and one rumor has the power to ruin reputations. Bryn, the former popular girl, is recovering from a scandal when her new friend Georgie becomes the center of one. The gossip unravels their lives and they must try to uncover the truth.
This YA novel was not what I was expecting and had a strong theme of sexual assault. I did not connect to these characters and their actions seemed very childish. I don’t know if this is similar to high school now but it was definitely not my experience (definitely aging myself with that one).
