I was excited when I realized there was a new book out by Lisa Patton. I enjoyed reading the adventures of LeeLee in the Dixie series. I was immediately drawn into Rush and felt like I was at the Alpha Delt house.

I loved the story, characters and writing style. The book alternates between Miss Pearl, Cali Watkins and Wilda Woodcock, all whom I enjoyed reading about and their interactions they had with other characters. Then there was the Lilith Whitmore. The "she-devil" herself, who would do anything to get her daughter into the Alpha delta sorority. I was not aware of all that went into rushing a sorority with the recs and all the interviews, so I found that part of the book quite informative. I can't believe someone would pay $20,000 to decorate a dorm room, but I'm sure it happens!!!

I loved reading the personal note at the end of the book. I think it added even more to the book, which revolves around friendship, racism and love and kindness. I definitely recommend this book.

Thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and the author, Lisa Patton, for a free electronic ARC of this novel.
