"Billingsley's dialogue is on point. . .this guilty pleasure is wish fulfillment, sensationalistic scandal, and snappy one-liners." -- Publishers Weekly on Rumor Central

I enjoyed this book in the series. I loved that it wasn't all about Maya Morgan. It really touched on the issue of domestic violence with teens and how they should handle it. I really wished one of the young women was strong enough to leave the situation prior to something bad happening.....but sometimes that's fiction reflecting on reality. It is a good read.
