Synopsis:
Can a middle school gossip queen change her ways, or will she lose her BFF for good? Find out in this M!X original novel.
Maddie Evans prides herself on being the gossip queen of Troy Middle School. She is the first person her classmates go to when they need the latest news on the ins-and-outs of TMS—and Maddie never disappoints.
Her best friend since birth, Vi, isn’t crazy about Maddie’s penchant for passing on rumors, but it’s never been an issue in their friendship. Until the day Maddie lets slip who Vi is crushing on—in front of her crush.
Vi is furious, and she confronts Maddie with an ultimatum: no gossip for 30 days, or twelve years of sisterhood goes down the drain.
Maddie agrees, but only a week into the challenge, she gets one of the juiciest pieces of gossip EVER—something that could affect the future of the school. Will she be able to keep her mouth shut and tame her ways? Or will she be left standing alone with no one to hear her stories?

Thank you, Jaxy! I’m spreading the word now…
Sounds like a great book! Thanks for the giveaway, good luck.
Thank you, S.P.!
But Stephanie…if I don’t gossip, what will I have to talk about with all my friends that I barely know and hardly like? I mean, I’m not telling them anything personal about me…that’s just fodder for the gossip mill!
Okay, I’m not a huge gossip…partly because I have so few opportunities to get out and I no longer talk on the phone. But I like to think I have gotten to the place in my life where gossip no longer thrills me. Like when I hear through the grapevine that someone is getting divorced- it’s not a juicy story (immature teen me would have thought that…she was sadly a bit shallow at times!). Now, I immediately imagine the pain for the kids, the financial hit…it now feels like a punch in the gut when I hear bad things happen to people…even people I don’t really like.
There’s a German word called “schadenfreude.” It means, “deriving pleasure from the misfortune of others.” My husband always says there’s no word in the English language for it… I think that word could be “gossip!”
Sounds like a fun book!
Thank you, Jemi!
