Gossip Lovers Come Forth, July 14, 2004
This review is from: Gossip Movie Tie In (Mass Market Paperback)
Derrick Webb has lived a privileged life. Rich family, good education, great clothes, whatever he wants. So small-town girl Cathy "Jones" Jones is nothing but happy to be friends with the stud, especially since he's letting her live in his fantastic New York apartment free-of-charge. But when the three friends, Jones, Derrick and Travis, decide to start a rumor and follow it, like the game "telephone," they don't even think twice. After all, it's just in good fun. Who's it going to hurt? Obviously, more people than they think. Suddenly someone in in jail, and another person is dead. Now it's time for one of the "gossips" to come forth, before anyone else gets hurt.
I saw the movie GOSSIP a couple of years ago, and was quite mesmerized by the plot, as it was original and exciting (not to mention that Kate Hudson was in it), so when I recently came across the book by Wendy Corsi Staub, I just knew that I had to have it. Wendy is a fantastic writer, who has created an exciting novel, filled with crazy twists and turns on every page. The characters of Jones and Derrick are interesting, as well as peculiar, as is the character of Travis, who seems strange, but is more of a creative genius. Overall this is a fantastic book. Gossip lovers will be intrigued by the plot, while fans of the movie will be dying to get their hands on this book. A must read.

Suspenseful and Well Written, March 24, 2000
When I got this book, I only got it because Joshua Jackson was on the cover, but once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down! It was such a great book. I would have never suspected what happened in the end! It was definitely a page turner. I can't wait to see the movie when it comes out. I wonder what actors will play which parts? I can tell you one thing about the movie, if it's anything like the book, it's going to be outstanding!
