Who Would Like This Book:
If you love dramatic high school stories with a twist, The Secret Girl is a wild ride! It blends boarding school shenanigans, a clever gender-bending premise, and a juicy murder mystery, all wrapped in a swoon-worthy reverse harem romance. Think Ouran High School Host Club meets Pretty Little Liars, but steamier. Fans of slow-burn romance, lighthearted bully tropes, and quirky found families will eat this up!
Who May Not Like This Book:
Some readers found the plot a bit far-fetched, especially the setup of a girl hiding as a boy in a supposedly progressive school. If you're put off by mild-but-present bullying, over-the-top situations, or if you dislike cliffhangers and want your mysteries tightly plotted, this might not be your vibe. Also, if Academy RH with high school drama isn’t your thing, you might want to skip.

From The Publisher:
Shh, I have a secret.
The sinfully gorgeous members of the Student Council-Church, Ranger, Spencer, Micah and Tobias-can't ever find out.
I already get picked on because my father's the headmaster.
I don't need them to know I'm the only girl, too; I'd rather dress like a boy.
Adamson All-Boys Academy now has its only female student, but I'm not about to be their guinea pig.
Not when there's a secret at this school nobody is talking about. Not when the last female student here ended up dead.
