You Didn't Hear This from Me: (Mostly) True Notes on Gossip by Kelsey McKinney

funny informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

 Kelsey McKinney has spent a lifetime thinking about gossip and is the host of Normal Gossip, a hugely popular podcast. In her book, You Didn't Hear This From Me, she explores the value of gossip, its role in our society and culture, and deftly lays out evidence that gossip is not inherently bad or wrong and is, in fact, useful. Deeply researched with extensive notes, McKinney cites bell hooks to Kierkegaard, The Innocence Project to Katherine May. Gossip influences all of us and You Didn't Hear This From Me celebrates this collective shaping with an inquisitive and sharp wit that is a delight.
