Fiction. Literature. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) "Peterfreund's descriptions of the ambitious Amy Haskel's collegial life are both vivid and amusing.". "Readers will cheer on the not-so-underdog as she faces disgruntled male alumni and finds that membership does indeed have privileges.". HTML:"A fun, breezy, beach-perfect diversion ... with a myriad of cultural and intellectual references to everything from Eyes Wide Shut to Aristotle's Poetics.". HTML:

Fans of Beautiful Disaster will devour Diana Peterfreund's Ivy League novels--Secret Society Girl, Under the Rose, Rites of Spring (Break), and Tap & Gown. At an elite university, Amy Haskel has been initiated into the country's most notorious secret society. But in this power-hungry world where new blood is at the mercy of old money, hooking up with the wrong people could be fatal.

Eli University junior Amy Haskel never expected to be tapped into Rose & Grave. She isn't rich, politically connected, or . . . well, male. So when Amy is one of the first female students to receive the distinctive black-lined invitation with the Rose & Grave seal, she's blown away. Could they really mean her?

Whisked off into an elaborate initiation rite, Amy awakens the next day to a new reality and a whole new set of "friends"--from the gorgeous son of a conservative governor to an Afrocentric lesbian activist whose society name is Thorndike. And that's when Amy starts to discover the truth about getting what you wish for. Because Rose & Grave is quickly taking her away from her familiar world of classes and keggers, fueling a feud and undermining a very promising friendship with benefits. And that's before Amy finds out that her first duty as a member of Rose & Grave is to take on a conspiracy of money and power that could, quite possibly, ruin her whole life.

I normally don't read chick-lit, but I the plot of this book sounded interesting and I really enjoyed it. It was just a fun read and easy to get through. ( )

I got annoyed with Amy multiple times while reading this. But then I also got annoyed with myself multiple times during college. Truth y'all: college girls can be annoying.

I loved the story, despite its frustrating bits, because it felt so cathartic. There are some great discussions about sexism and social strictures that make the ending incredibly satisfying (if, perhaps, a touch idealistic). I definitely want to read the rest of the series now.

As far as it's potential readabilty for YA, I think I'd recommend it for older teens. I don't know how interesting tweens or middle teens would find it, and while there's nothing overtly sexed up about it, there is frank discussion of sexuality and sexual choices. Also, swearing. Not that teens would be adversely affected by either, but whatever. ( )

Secret Society Girl takes us into the heart of the Ivy League’s ultra exclusive 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.

Eli University, of course, is really Yale, home to both major-party 2004 presidential candidates as well as their infamous secret society, Skull & Bones. With 12 residential
colleges and only two colleges’ freshmen living outside “Old Campus,” even geographical cues from Eli trace the physical realities of Yale, right down to street names (fictional Rose & Grave and real-world Skull & Bones are both on High Street). ( )

This was an pretty entertaining read about a college student (and literary magazine editor) who gets tapped into a previously all-male secret society at the university. I don't know that I'll continue reading the series, but am glad I read this one. ( )
