The Rory Gilmore Book Club discussion

So recently, I've really enjoyed books about college, especially colleges that give off old money vibes, and I really enjoy books like Bunny by Mona Awad, so I was wondering if there are any books with secret societies set in college or maybe even boarding schools. (I've heard the Secret History is very similar to what I've wanted). And I mean secret societies like the Life and Death Brigade.

The Secret by Donna Tart, it has like dark academia vibes. I dont know if thats what your looking for. But it has vibes of secret society things

The Suit (Holly Springs, #1)

I recommend this book as the book takes us into the complexities of identity, societal expectations, and the transformative power of a single garment which is often found in college lives and hard and confused to deal with.

yeah read Babel for sure

the ritual series

ninth house by leigh bardugo, set in magical new haven explores yale's secret socities as they influence and exploit the economy, geopolitics etc through magic!! its one of my favs ever

Its not necessarily secret societies, but there are secrets, but If We Were Villains is one of my favorite books. Its like Secret History, but instead of Greek students, it's Shakespeare theater kids aha.

The Maidens by Alex Michaelides is also good!

Win Lose Kill Die by Cynthia Murphy. Secret society in a boarding school!

The secret history is THE book you're looking for, I can assure you you will not waste a single minute reading this book! 10/10

If we were villains by m.l. rio is so so so good and one of my all time favorite books and definitely fits this

Dead Poets Society is a must read.

I second whoever said win lose kill die by Cynthia Murphy, such a great book
