The Scoop

"Juicy, wild, gripping ... like if The Devil Wears Prada and Succession had a chaotic little baby." -Rebecca Armitage, author of Reese's Book Club Pick The Heir Apparent"A darkly funny satirical peek into the world of late-night tabloid journalism and the chaos of our times." -Natalie Sue, internationally bestselling author of I Hope This Finds You WellA piercing satire about a journalist working the night shift at a tabloid and the explosive consequences of her "harmless" clickbait. Washed-up New York journalist Frankie Miller is getting desperate. Since the twenty-nine-year-old lost her dream job at a glossy magazine three months ago, her days have been filled with overdue bills, cereal for dinner, and a flood of rejection emails (not to mention her ex has a new girlfriend). So when she's offered a job at The Scoop, a tabloid website run by tyrannical editor-in-chief David Brown, she can't exactly afford to say no-even if it means swallowing her pride for clicks. Besides, for Frankie, it's just a paycheck, a temporary detour. It's not forever. But the deeper she's pulled into the breakneck world of tabloid journalism, the blurrier the line between ambition and morality becomes-until she crosses it. When her reporting humiliates a beloved pop star and dredges up grief over her late mother, Frankie sets off a chain reaction that spirals beyond her control. 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 is a searing exploration of ambition, exploitation, and the human toll of the 24/7 news cycle.
