Gossip Times Three

This is a true story about three best friends who will no doubt become my three sworn enemies when they find out that I`m writing this, says our mystery narrator at the beginning of Amy Koss`s latest novel of middle-school fun and torment. Abby has always had a crush on Zack, and her best friends Bess and Cristy have always known it. So how could Bess possibly think it`s okay to go out with Zack herself?! And whose side is Cristy on anyway? From the moment Bess utters the traitorous Zack`s cute! to the day Abby seeks a surprising revenge and beyond, our outspoken narrator (who won`t reveal her identity until the final page) is there to share her particular front-row view of the mess. She even throws in some tasty tidbits about the love lives of the girls` divorced moms. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
