Blog Tour: Eliza Starts a Rumor by Jane L. Rosen

It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. When Eliza Hunt created The Hudson Valley Ladies’ Bulletin Board fifteen years ago she was happily entrenched in her picture-perfect suburban life with her husband and twin preschoolers. Now, with an empty nest and a crippling case of agoraphobia, the once-fun hobby has become her lifeline. So when a rival parenting forum threatens the site’s existence, she doesn’t think twice before fabricating a salacious rumor to spark things up a bit.

It doesn’t take long before that spark becomes a flame.

Across town, new mom and site devotee Olivia York is thrown into a tailspin by what she reads on the Bulletin Board. Allison Le is making cyber friends with a woman who isn’t quite who she says she is. And Amanda Cole, Eliza’s childhood friend, may just hold the key to unearthing why Eliza can’t step out of her front door.

In all this chaos, one thing is for sure…Hudson Valley will never be the same.

Funny, romantic, raw, and hopeful, this is a story about being a woman and of the healing power of sisterhood.

MY REVIEW:

Eliza Starts a Rumor by Jane L. Rosen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This takes us on a journey of different women who come together after a rumor has started. Eliza is homebound with anxiety and watches a neighbor and makes up a story and puts it on the community board online. Different people read it and think that it is other people or them. Friendships are formed and sisterhoods are made. I found it different than anything I have read before and have never heard of this author before.
I received this from Berkley and Netgalley for review.
