Frankie knows that she is just as smart, and probably way more clever than any of the boys in her boarding school's all-male secret society. But when her own boyfriend won't even acknowledge the possibility that she could even know the society exists, she decides to prove her worth in her own very special way. In the end, Frankie is on both the receiving and giving end of the comeuppance she was aiming for. This conclusion is both satisfying and realistic. The parts of the book that relate what she did are highly entertaining. Unfortunately, the rest of the book is a bit stilted (I think that was done on purpose, but it didn't help to know that) and repetitive.
Frankie did a lot of self discovery and I appreciate how she went against the status quo and figured out she didn't need boyfriend who didn't believe in her.
Re-reading for FYA book club; as great as I remember it.
Not perfect but really good
My main issue is that this book could have benefited from intersectionality. Frankie is a white women at an elite boarding school, just because she’s not part of the “boy’s club” does not mean she has no privilege.
Also, Frankie is Jewish and I really wish she discussed how her Judaism affects her feminism or how her Judaism affects her at an institution made for white Christian men.
Even though I had some issues this by far the best e Lockhart book I’ve read.

Wow! A fantastic book that shows a girl can be pretty AND have brains. Frankie shows the boys just how a secret society should be, with epic pranks and showstopping theatrics. A must read!
I wish I had read this in middle school. It was a good read but wasn't engaging enough for me at this point in my life.
Such fantastic, developed and sophisticated writing! A realistic ending yet somehow dissatisfying to my perception of clinched book ends haha!
