Everyone Talks

No one does gossip like a small town.

Nellie Castle is more than ready to leave Shadow Creek, Oklahoma, and its ever-churning rumor mill far behind. She's just as eager to escape her overprotective father, who always knows whatever trouble she may or may not be getting into. But to get there, she has to get through her senior year and bolster her portfolio before joining the Missouri School of Journalism at the University of Missouri - her late mother's dream school.

The bane of her existence as a budding journalist is the ever-present gossip app CreekTalk. It's been around for years, and no one seems to know who's running it. Just that every time it shuts down, it always starts back up, stronger than ever. But this time, CreekTalk takes things a bit too far, starting a rumor that has the potential to ruin lives and end the career of a teacher/coach - something Nellie is all too familiar with. Things get even worse when one of the girls caught up in the rumor goes missing after the first party of the year.

As editor-in-chief of the Shadow Creek High Sentinel, it's Nellie's job to cover both the rumor and disappearance of the school's It Girl, but something doesn't feel quite right. She finds herself diving headfirst into the town's secrets, aided by her best friends Emory and Charlie and school golden boy, Caleb.

Except this time, it's more than just gossip and some secrets are far more dangerous when brought to light.
