Description

Any girl would kill to be a Gamma.

“Barber and Shaienne’s juicy, sexy, vicious collab is like America’s Next Top Model stitched with The Art of War. You’ll be equally riveted by the reality TV-level drama and the raw authenticity of the characters in this sure-to-go-viral sorority rush thriller.” — Layne Fargo, bestselling author of The Favorites and They Never Learn

Being a Gamma at Southern State University means belonging to the most desirable, exclusive sisterhood there is. For Ava, it means even more—it’s the last connection she has to her beloved late mother, and she’ll do anything to wear the Gamma letters.

But the Gammas didn’t become the best house on campus by letting just anyone in, and every prospective pledge is expected to earn her spot. As president, Madison is the ultimate gatekeeper, and she has a special test for Ava.

Rival sorority Theta is nipping at the Gammas’ heels for the top spot on campus, and president Shay is proud they’ve gotten there by rising above the hyper-competitive gamesmanship that consumes other houses. She knows she’s made some enemies in her quest to change the Greek system from the inside, but she can’t imagine the depth of Madison’s resentment for her … or how far Ava will go to become a Gamma.

The sisterhood, the parties, the elite status—and the connection to her mother—are what Ava has always wanted, but she never guessed the cost of membership would be so high. Three women, two houses, one dead body: rush has never been this messy.

Any girl would kill to be a Gamma.

Sisterhood Above All is a tense, immersive, and almost oppressive (in the best way) thriller that plunges the reader into the rush world from the first pages, where an unidentified body falls from a sorority house balcony. The pressure of perfection, the fierce competition, and the longing for sisterhood permeate every page of the story as it moves in and out of the perspectives of the three narrators.

Ava, a potential new member, is desperate to join as a legacy to feel closer to the mother she lost. Madison’s lofty position of power is overshadowed by her fear of losing it and what she might do to protect it. Shay is determined to be a trailblazer and prove that she’s overcome the challenges in her past.

The tension builds as the characters circles around the truth, revealing bits of the past that inform the present. Each narrator is painfully aware of the stakes, calculating each move through the lens of the rush culture microscope.

A layered and page-turning read that raises interesting questions with implications beyond its pages. Perfect for readers who enjoy messy drama, morally gray female characters, and a little spice!

I was SO excited to get my hands on this ARC (thank you NetGalley!!) and was not disappointed one bit. The drama, the secrets, the plot, the messiness - YES! I actually thought the entire time “ooh, this would be the perfect lifetime movie!” As a sorority girl myself, this was so fun and entertaining. 4 ⭐️

If you're looking for a fast paced thriller, featuring some unreliable narrators and if you want to know more about the dark side of sorority life, this book will be a good read for you! I read this very quickly, loved the short chapters and found it entertaining.

I liked that it was told from multiple viewpoints. The three main characters were all a bit shady, had intriguing back stories and all made some questionable decisions along the way. I wasn't really rooting for any of them and they weren't super likeable, but it worked for the story. This story took a look at the college sorority life, sisterhood and how far people are actually willing to go just to belong to something. Seemed pretty messy to me and made me happy that sororities aren't really a big thing where I'm from. I'm aging myself here, but if you've ever seen the movie "The Skulls", the vibes were similar.

Thanks to the author and publisher for my early review copy.
