Something is happening in the town of Cooney, most especially centred around the Glass lake school community.
Beverly Franklin catches her daughter sending a naked selfie to a boy at school and all hell breaks loose, the local bad boy is the recipient of the picture and that family, the Whiteheads according to Beverly is destroying the reputation of both town and school and considering she is on the committee of practically everything she can NOT have a scandal attached to her darling daughter Amelia, especially when the school play is going to be featured on tv!
No, there is no other explanation, this must be all Woody Whitehead's fault.
But the ramifications of that one photo leads to a hotbed of gossip, sleaze and downright scandal involving the town and well, pretty much most of its inhabitants.
A wonderfully rich and "gossipy" novel with social media and it's darker, sinister ramifications and how easily it can be used for nefarious purposes in the hands of the wrong people.
Serious, relevant to today's social issues yet all told with an acerbic wit and dry humour that ironically considering the weighty subject matter could be remarkably laugh out loud funny.
This was such a great read.
