A novelist, sometime romance novel cover model, former food critic, and avid reader... did I mention the geology degree? What about the obsession with Veronica Mars?

Nice Stuff Folks Said About SECRET SOCIETY GIRL
"Absolutely captivating, SECRET SOCIETY GIRL takes us into the mysterious, rarified, and delicious world of an Ivy League secret society--but even more, into the life of a fascinating and dauntless young woman. Diana Peterfreund has such a bright, original voice, and she has written an unforgettable novel."
- New York Times Bestelling Author Luanne Rice
"A warning label should be put on the cover of this book: Get comfortable, because once you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down. Secret Society Girl has it all: razor-sharp wit, nail-biting suspense, and pitch-perfect storytelling that will leave you begging for more... The Ivy League has never been this fun."
- Cara Lockwood, bestselling author of I Do (But I Don't)
"Peterfreund leaves some loose ends to entice readers to pick up her next installment...the story is...fun to read--full of quirky characters and situations. It's bound to appeal to readers looking for entertaining escape and college humor."
- Booklist
"... a frothy summer read for anyone interested in the collegiate antics of the secret rulers of the world."
- Edward Nawotka, Bloomberg News
Ms. Peterfreundâs descriptions of the ambitious Amy Haskelâs collegial life are both vivid and amusing...Amy's story is both witty and endearing, peppered as it is with rhetorical questions and moments when she emphatically addresses the reader as âdude.â As she discusses her dorm-room drama, her study sessions at the library, and the awkward interactions she shares at the lit-mag office with her âfriend with bennies,â Amy proves herself a rather appealing girl. To top it off, Amy knows about Said and Lévi-Strauss.
- New York Observer
The action is undeniably juicy â from steamy make-out sessions with campus hotties to cloak-and-dagger initiations â and the book is a quick read. - Washington Post
I had such a great time reading Peterfreund's debut... Why? The voice, for one, as Amy is a smart cookie who shows her mettle when it counts most, and great insights into what really bonds friends together. An entertaining read for teens and adults alike. -- Sarah Weinman
Think The Da Vinci Code meets Bridget Jones. -- The Toledo Blade
Secret Society Girl is a fun, breezy, beach-perfect diversion...unfailingly hip, with a myriad of cultural and intellectual references to everything from Eyes Wide Shut to Aristotle's Poetics. - Cassandra Sherril, Winston-Salem Journal
Peterfreund keeps the various complications of Amy's story spinning merrily...The story is cheerful, sensible, with just enough insider's scoop to appeal to the conspiracy theorist in everyone. - Amy Smith Linton, Tampa Tribune
Thanks to a quirky, likable protagonist you'll be rooting for long after you've turned the last page and a provocative blurring of fact and fiction, SECRET SOCIETY GIRL provides the perfect excuse to set aside your required reading this summer and bask in a few hours of collegiate nostalgia. - Joni Rendon, Bookreporter.com
I adored Amy's "big sib" Malcolm (and hope he can return in the next book even though he's graduated) and fellow tap George, and like Amy herself, got into Clarissa. There's one moment between the two that just got me kvelling, it was so great. And Amy's journey into figuring out what she wants and what her place is with regards to this group was intriguing. Four stars from me, looking forward to the next one. - Speed Reading Book Nerd
