The Magnolia League by Katie Crouch

4.0

This is a really unique book – sort of a cross between Princess Diaries and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The plot was excellent, the timing wonderful, and the main character was a breath of fresh air in today’s YA literature. Around Chapter 25, things to take a bizarre turn and the writing changed considerably. I’m not sure what happened but it seemed like the novel just stopped and someone else took up the cause. The characters and scenes and plots were no longer the same. I did enjoy the first part, however. It was a fun, light, summer read that takes you into Southern secret societies that aren’t as innocent as they might appear. (ARC edition)
