Secret Society Girl by Diana Peterfreund

Moving along, though, the book WAS entertaining enough for me to read it in one night and I DID get into it the last hundred or so pages. I assume there are others who also fail miserably at remember who people are, in books or in real life. I had to continue to flip to the front page which listed everyone’s society name. Feelin’ ya, for sure! Also, ‘cuz everyone has secret society names, it became a little confusing when people were introduced or talking in society compared to OUT of society. On a side note, I thought it was sorta funny because one of the members even felt the drama in the Rose & Grave society was repetitive (paraphrased: “why can’t we just hang out and BE the society instead of always talking ABOUT the society and it’s politics). And it was still entertaining, just a wee bit repetitive. It was still a quick read read in one night.

The Thoughts about itI have to admit that I was a bit disappointed with Under the Rose for the first two-hundred pages. There’s still a little love and flirting going on, but once again it’s not on the forefront. There’s some stress between Lydia and Amy this go-around and someone on the inside is compromising the brotherhood.
