over the course of her first semester Taylor attempts to find balance between the girl she thinks she is- a fiercely independent woman's studies major- and the girl she has always said she would never be- the partying sorority girl with the Frat Star boyfriend. Taylor has no interest in following in her sisters', mother, or grandmother's footsteps and pledging BZ, but she is quickly taken under the wings of some colorful upperclassmen BZs who dirty rush her all the way to initiation. *I won this ARC in a GoodReads challenge sponsored by Simon and Schuster*ĭirty Rush is the story of Taylor Bell, a freshman at CDU and a 3rd generation legacy to Beta Zeta sorority. I recommend this book to all of Greek Life and even outside it, because honestly if nothing else Rebecca Martinson's foreward is completely worth it. The perfect representation of that quote that I've come across in print in a long time, that's why I liked this book, it's why I'm giving it three stars. Sometimes we blindly back one another simply because it's our family and when push comes to shove we will always take up for our sisters. There's a part in the book (I think on her drive back with Jonah) where Taylor is defending her house and the majority of the sisters without even second guessing it, and Jonah can't believe she'd defend any of them. From the inside, looking out, you can never explain it'.

This book perfectly captures the saying 'From the outside looking in, you'll never understand it.

It made me nostalgic for old Greek Life at my own alma mater. However, I read it in two sittings so it definitely appealed to me. Dirty Rush didn't captivate me because it was so thrilling, but it was an extremely easy/quick read.
