First things first. The author is hot as hell. I saw her author profile on Amazon. Shwing.*
This is one of those books without a real genre, it's hard to categorize but the best way I can describe it is it's like a CW show about University. In a good way. It's god a little bit of everything and really focuses in on the campus life. The author is hot so you know these are probably based on real sexy sorority stories. Shwing.* Overall it's a good first attempt and if I get through more reddit books, I will probably look into the other books in the series. It really is like a CW show, where you kind of like them, and say you'll never watch another episode and then end up watching 3 seasons. Wait is Greek even a CW show?

This may have just been because it's written for a much younger audience
