Rush Reviews
This is the first book I?ve read by Lisa Patton....a lifelong Southerner. I started this novel on the airplane back to California from Cancun, and immediately enjoyed the humor - and characters. I started laughing so hard - I couldn?t get the words out when I tried to share a scene...

I loved every word of this book. It was such a timely, refreshingly poignant story and everything I love about southern fiction. The setting and the characters were wonderful and won't be easily forgotten. ...
This book epitomizes the phrase ?be the solution.?Bravo! ...
Apparently being a sorority girl in New York is NOTHING like being a sorority girl down in Ole Miss! I loved this book, my first of Lisa Patton?s (I?ve already now bought all of her others!) which reminded me a bit of Kathryn Stockett?s The Help with a delightfully contemporary t...
This book caught me by surprise., When I first started reading it, I was not into it and felt like it was going to similar to the Help but in a university setting. Boy was I wrong! I got totally engrossed in the story the further along I got into the book. This is a book about mother/d...
?The power of women gathering is immeasurable ? Unknown . Y?all I have been fortunate to read some amazing Southern Fiction this Summer and this one, my goodness. It did not disappoint. . Set in modern day Mississippi, told from three point of views. A student and potential ...
????? / 5 rounded up BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD. This is how Rush by Lisa Patton made me feel. It is a beautiful book that touches on race, and was reminiscent of a Jodi Picoult novel. What it's about: Miss Pearl has been working at the sorority of Alp...
Story delves into the Sorority Rush process at a prominent Southern University (Ole Miss) ... the legacies, racism and the nerves girls go thru to get a bid. This books reminds me of a modern day ?The Help?. The book shows different points of view from a parent caught up in it, the...
I loved it and will give it a 5 star. This was a different review for me to write though. My daughter lived this book. I know people in real life that could be the characters in the book. Some of them very nice and some not so nice ones that you will meet if you read the book, which I ...
I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher --- Bestselling author Lisa Patton digs deep into exciting new territory with RUSH, a story about mothers and daughters, sisterhood, tradition, and doing the rig...
4 ? Rush takes place in the (present day) picturesque Southern town of Oxford, Mississippi at Ole Miss where a new pledge class is put through the ringer to join a sorority. Inside the Alpha Delta house is where you?ll find the sweet and personable Miss Pearl who?s not only the s...
I loved this book so much! Each character felt real and well-developed, the setting was easy to immerse yourself in, and the realities of Greek life were presented in a true and nuanced way. I enjoyed the perspective of reading about events from a couple different characters points of ...
Oh dear...as an Ole Miss sorority alum I feel like 2 stars is a betrayal. I picked this up at Square Books in Oxford while on a girls reunion trip for goodness sakes. There were moments I thought it was a fun read, but honestly only due to all the references I happen to get. Perhaps...
I was never in a sorority but Greek life has always fascinated me so when I read the description of Rush I was all in. It had the added bonus of being set in the South and I?m a sucker for southern fiction as well and this one was oozing good old fashioned southern charm with a side ...
A thought-provoking story of fairness, empowerment and forgiveness. ???? SUMMARY It?s the run up to Rush week at Ole Miss in Oxford Mississippi. This is the story about women from all rungs on the social ladder, discovering their voices, courage and empowerment. ...
I found this novel to be so engaging and thought provoking. The narrative covers the world of racial injustice and inequality at a university in Mississippi in current day. Young sorority women take action against the injustice while bucking against a woman who values money as power an...
WOW! I enjoyed this novel so much more than I'd expected! Lisa Patton is a new-to-me author and now I'd love to read her previous novels. On the recommendation of a friend, I requested a copy of RUSH from my local library; while I have not personally experienced sorority life (I was...
Lisa Patton is using her God given gift of writing to make a difference. Someone else said it in their review and I echo that this is a true depiction of being the change you want to see in this world. This book is very entertaining and kept my attention to the very end. It is a fun re...
Some books you read and you know they come from the heart. RUSH is one of those books ? it is so brimming with compassion even as it looks at and points out the subtle ways racism still thrives even in places of luxury like multimillion-dollar sorority houses. It?s a difficult sub...
Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. That did not impact my rating or review. First off, this book promised to be laugh out loud funny, it wasn't. I guess in 2018 I don't find racist white people (even if fictional) hilarious. It also talks about exploring the relat...
Rush by Lisa Patton is a modern day story set at Ole Miss, where a new pledge class begins their journey into sorority life. The story encompasses many modern themes - the variation in class and background of students at college, particularly at big universities; the high standards...
Rush was just ok for me. Since I was never in a sorority, I felt lost throughout this book and just couldn?t connect to anything these girls went through. I know I?m in the minority with my 2 star rating but I?m disappointed overall. Oh well. Just wasn?t for me and that?s ok....
5 Spectacularly Southern Stars ????? This was a buddy read with one of my book Besties Mackenzie... she started before I did and said the book was reminiscent of ?The Help? and I?d have to agree.... both books have a very similar vibe and this is very high prais...
This book was cringeworthy with almost every character a total cliche. The ending was painfully cheesy and contrived. I could say a lot more but I personally feel the author didn?t develop her characters and if anything, it?s an indictment of the elitist sorority system. I?m done...
Heart-warming, emotional, and thought-provoking?Rush is not what I expected?it is better! I?ve always been fascinated by the Greek system. My own undergraduate didn?t have a Greek system, so who knows if I would have Rushed a sorority myself, but I am intellectually and sociall...
as a college student, i know it can be difficult to be aware of our institutional impact on communities, but RUSH took that concept and expressed it really well without being pushy or overwhelming and was also super funny at the same time. loved it! ...
it is a simple, heartfelt story. what makes this novel different from others is the subtle way it teaches you all it takes is a small action to make a difference, either it is a hug for a sick person, simply listening or standing up to your mother. This book is about Cali Watkins, W...
