I devoured this book! It makes me laugh because pledging in itself is absolutely horrendous on both sides and then to turn it into a horror story was chef's kiss.

Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for providing this book, with my honest review below.

Rush Week was a phenomenal read, combining suspense and women behaving badly along with the power of said women supporting each other to make a fairly unique story that captured my attention.

For any who have seen the TikTok storm of Bama Rush, or the documentary following that, this gives an inside look into that but throws in a look at what might happen to some of the more privileged of a sorority sisterhood. I loved the first hand accounts of rush and how our main characters, four women who all have out of the ordinary upbringings, grew up together and apart throughout their time in their sorority. None of these women start out especially endearing but as we dive deeper into their time in college (alternating with the present five years post graduation) they start to become more understanding and their wicked deeds, which are about to be exposed, make a little more sense.

Completely fun, this isn’t for shrinking violets as we have storylines focused on OnlyFans, Sugar Babies, a more privileged and more secretive version of Ashley Madison, and sexual assault. But if you aren’t offended by any of that, Michelle Brandon writes a most colorful and salacious tale that is a grown up look at what happens next for Alabama Sorority Sisters that, while likely not realistic, felt like the sequel we could only hope for with those TikToks.

At first I thought this one was going to be a 2 star. The characters were so unlikable. I will say that at about 40% of the way in, I changed my mind. I got drawn into the story of these four sorority sisters who have returned to the University of Alabama to keep their darkest secrets from being exposed. My advice to readers is Stick With ThIs One!
