Talk of Shame was a fun and fantastic read. It was one of those books you want to bring to the beach or long trips. This book for me has all you need for a fun New Adult - Contemporary.

The story is told from the POV of three freshman girls, who are all rushing sororities. The author did a fantastic job of giving the three girls different personalities and voices, I could always tell who was narrating each part of the story. There is some romance, but I appreciated that the romance was not the main focus of this book and that let the friendships and the drama unfold in a more realistic way. The only thing that I wish was different is the climatic action. I would have liked the "Talk of Shame" plot to come to fruition a bit sooner. I think it would have increased the energy in the book, so we could have more of a dramatic finish. That being said, I loved the ending! It answered all leftover questions and by doing so really hit home with the messages of this book.

P.S. Who wants a cute fire escape work area? I know I do!
