 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.
So
when Amy receives the distinctive black-lined invitation
with the Rose & Grave seal, she’s blown away. Could
they really mean her?
Whisked off into an initiation rite that’s a blend of Harry Potter and
Alfred Hitchcock, 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.
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 ....

 Under
The Rose
Read an Excerpt
The Washington Post called Diana Peterfreund's first novel, Secret Society Girl, "Undeniably
juicy -- from steamy makeout sessions with campus hotties to cloak-and-dagger
initiations." Now Peterfreund returns with a new novel, a wickedly brilliant
look at what goes on behind padlocked doors when initiation is over and life
as a full-fledged society member begins ...
Amy Haskel made
it into elite Eli University. then she made it into the ultraselective
Order of Rose & Grave. Now a senior, Amy is looking her
future squarely in the eye -- until someone starts selling
society secrets. When a series of bizarre messages suggest
conspiracy within the ranks and a female Knight mysteriously
disappears, no member of Rose & Grave is safe ... or
above suspicion.
On her side, Amy
has a few loyal Diggirls -- her fellow female Rose & Grave
Knights. Against her? Certainly it's a group of Rose & Grave's
uberpowerful patriarchs who want their old boys' club back.
As new developments in her love life threaten to implode
and the case of the vanished Diggirl gets weirder by the
moment, Amy will need to use every society trick she's ever
learned in order to set things right. Even if it means turning
to old adversaries for help -- or discovering that the real
foes are closer than she'd thought ...
 Everything
I Needed to Know About Being a Girl
I Learned From Judy Blume
Whether laughing
to tears reading Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great, or
clamoring for more unmistakable “me too!” moments
in Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret, girls all over
the world have been touched by Judy Blume’s poignant
coming-of-age stories. Now, in this anthology of essays,
twenty-four notable female authors write straight from the
heart about the unforgettable novels that left an indelible
mark on their childhoods, and still influence them today.
After growing up from Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing into
Smart Women, these writers pay tribute, through their reflections
and most cherished memories, to one of the most beloved authors
of all time.
“Readers who
similarly found solace in Blume’s work should relate
easily to these writers through the Blumian characters and
themes they evoke. Writing in the spirit of Blume, these
women present their experiences as a series of personal truths: ‘girl
moments. Women moments. Human moments.’”
- Publisher’s Weekly
“From bittersweet
to laugh-out-loud hilarious, the essays in this collection
sparkle with charm, style, and wit. No doubt about it, if
you grew up reading Judy Blume, you will love this book.”
- Sarah Mlynowski. Author of Bras and Broomsticks
and Girls’ Night In
