Queen B’s Decree: It’s times like this that I wonder if I’ve outgrown the YA genre. I just couldn’t get into The Rumor Game. The storyline was slow and boring for me, and I wasn’t interested enough in the characters to continue and see if it picked up.
None of the characters were particularly likable. Maybe it’s because I’m not a trust fund baby, but I didn’t care about these kids and their rich kids’ problems.
And while I think the message was supposed to be anti-bullying and anti-gossiping, it almost felt like it was glorifying it? So no thanks, Imma gonna pass.
