So we have the major character analysis of Joan, alongside revisiting Eve’s own character analysis, HOWEVER ! It’s being used to establish the parallel’s between Joan and Eve. Joan is the all American, popular high school girl, Eve is popular in the same way and the “all American” type girl, just in the extreme end of the plectrum to Joan’s “perfect” image

“Gossip, as in ‘some shallow, callow, shameful way of grasping situations’
Gossip, as in ‘some devious woman’s trick’
Gossip, as in girl talk.
Eve refused to disavow gossip.”

Love all of chapter 8, specifically because of the strong presence of journalistic voice.
The inspiration that it has lead me for my own writing is worth noting.
And then to start off the first page of chapter 9 (with what again!) a beautifully strong journalistic voice, makes me so thrilled
