From "witty and endearing" to "impossible to put down," the critics have given elite marks to Diana Peterfreund's Secret Society Girl and Under the Rose. Now, in a wildly captivating new novel, Amy "Bugaboo" Haskel and her fellow Rose & Grave knights are trading cold, gray, hyperintellectual New Haven for an annual rite of spring (well, early March) in Florida. For Amy, a week of R&R on her secret society's private island should be all fun in the sun--and an escape from an on-campus feud with a rival society that's turned disturbingly personal. But along with her SPF 30 and a bikini, Amy is bringing a suitcase full of issues to remote Cavador Key. Graduation from Eli University looms, not to mention buckets of unfinished business with a former flame and--most pressing of all--the sudden, startling transformation of a mysterious Rose & Grave patriarch from sheerly evil to utterly... appealing? Just when Amy thinks Spring Break can't get any less relaxing, a wacky "accident" puts everyone on edge. And that's only the beginning, as Amy starts to suspect that someone has infiltrated the island. With some major Rose & Grave secrets to be exposed, and the potential fallout enough to take down one of America's most loathsome figureheads, what she can't know is that the party crasher is deadly serious about making sure "Bugaboo" doesn't get back to Eli alive.... From the Trade Paperback edition.
