"So the question is, do the conversations we have privately define who we are, or are we who we are despite our private conversations?"

Just one of the few thought-provoking statements made in the most recent Kindle book I read. Someone has started a blog that posts the towns most intimate, private conversations that are not meant to be heard by anyone else and especially not the person they are talking about. So what happens when a town becomes obsessed with this site and begins to piece together who is saying what about whom? People begin to fight with one another and even get to the point of killing eachother. Friendships are forever ruined and married couples are afraid to communicate with one another in fear that their conversation will show up on this site. So how would you change if you knew your private conversations/gossip would show up the next day for all to see. It is an intrigueing book and honestly had a ton of quotes that I would love to put together at some point to really contemplate on. The story itself is not too bad either and it is interesting to see who the person is that is behind this website and what motivated this person to start it. I think this is an excelent read for all, and especially should be integrated into high school classes since a part of the story deals with bullying and gossip.
