In a fabulous blend of the bestselling traditions of Prep and The Devil Wears Prada, Secret Society Girl takes us into the heart of the Ivy League's ultraexclusive secret societies when a young woman is invited to join as one of their first female members. Elite Eli University junior Amy Haskel never expected to be tapped into Rose & Grave, the country's most powerful—and notorious—secret society. She isn't rich, politically connected, or…well, male. So when Amy receives the distinctive black-lined invitation with the Rose & Grave seal, she's blown away. Could they really mean her? A smart, sexy introduction to the life and times of a young woman in way over her head, Secret Society Girl is a charming and witty debut from a writer who knows her turf—and isn't afraid to tell all…

- An excellent book about college societies, belonging, and gender
- I loved this book! The character starts out as a normal, unsure of herself girl with smarts and talent, and is invited into her college's most prestigious society, even though everyone knows they don't accept women, at least not until now.
As one of the first women invited, she faces hazing and discrimination from both "friends"… More reviews
