About the Author
Reviews
"Sparkles with an intense exuberance . . . it trumps Catcher in the Rye and A Separate Peace...Gossip of the Starlings will join that shelf reserved for literary classics." --Providence Sunday Journal
"The kind of smart and riveting read that fans of a certain kind of campus drama--think Donna Tartt's The Secret History -- will devour...There's romance, betrayal, a gorgeous scholarship boy and a spot-on rendering of the queasy regret you sometimes feel when friends from separate orbits meet. Grab this one and share it with your teenage daughter." --People, four stars
