ONE NEEDS A STORY.THE OTHER IS THE STORY.THE FALLOUT COULD RUIN THEM BOTH.No story sells faster than a celebrity's downfall. . . Washed-up journalist Frankie Miller is desperate. Since losing her dream job at a glossy magazine, she's been drowning in rejection letters and overdue bills while eating cereal for dinner. So, when she's offered a role at The Scoop, a notorious tabloid website run by tyrannical editor David Brown, she can't afford to say no - even if it means swallowing her pride for clicks. Besides, it's just a temporary means to an end. Nothing more.But the deeper Frankie dives into the cutthroat world of clickbait, the blurrier the line between ambition and morality becomes. And when she breaks a story that humiliates a beloved pop star, the fallout is more explosive than she ever imagined - for both of them. In an industry where reputation is currency and outrage sells, how far is Frankie willing to go - and how much is she willing to lose - to win at this ruthless game? Sharp, witty, and unflinchingly bold, The Scoop pulls back the curtain on tabloid culture and the human toll of the 24/7 news cycle, perfect for fans of Yellowface, The List and Succession.PRAISE FOR THE SCOOP:'A timely, commanding, blistering debut, this one's sure to leave a lasting mark' ASHLEY TATE'Quickly becomes tough to look away from' NATALIE SUE'Smart and savage...a devastating satire' RUTH MADIEVSKY'Snappy, fun, and set in the always-fascinating world of New York media.
