7.11.2026 - Sisterhood Above All

Sisterhood Above All by Kathleen  Barber 

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press | Saturday Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the new book by Kathleen Barber, this one co-written with #BamaRush content creator Amayah Shaienne.  The audiobook production featured a full cast narration, which I'm a huge fan of.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!

Ava has dreamed of being a Gamma at Southern State University forever.  It's the last connection she has to her late mother and she's determined to wear the Gamma letters.  But prospective pledges are expected to earn their spots, so when president Madison asks her for a special favor, she grudgingly goes along with it, only for there to be disastrous consequences.  Rival sorority Theta president Shay tries to rise above all the hyper-rush mentality, but she and Madison have a grudge that goes way back.  

Sisterhood above all - whew!  There is enough drama and mean girl behavior in these pages to curl your hair!  I do love an academic thriller, and this certainly gave a different side of college life.  I have zero experience with Greek life, but appreciate what it should be.  It was good to see some of that positivity and supportive behavior from some of these women.  But reality aside, this was a soapy, fun thriller. - perfect for a summer beach read!
