I picked this up on a whim because of the title (how could you not?), and it ended up being one of my favorite reads that year. The girls’ antics are equal parts horrifying and hilarious—imagine 'Mean Girls' in corsets, but with way higher stakes. Berry’s writing has this sly, cheeky tone that makes even the darkest moments feel like a romp. The way they juggle their cover-up while dealing with nosy neighbors and potential suitors is comedy gold. It’s not deep literature, but it’s fun, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need. The ending ties up with a bow so absurdly perfect, you’ll want to immediately loan it to a friend just to see their reaction.
I’d say this one’s a standout. The premise alone—teen girls covering up a murder in 1890s England—is bonkers in the best way. It’s got the vibes of a Gothic novel but with the energy of a screwball comedy. The dialogue crackles, especially when the girls are improvising lies to keep their secret. I adored how each character’s personality shaped the plot; Disgraceful Mary Jane’s theatrics had me snort-laughing, and Smooth Kitty’s cool-headed scheming made her my favorite. The book doesn’t take itself seriously, yet it’s clever enough to feel satisfying, not silly.
One minor gripe? The historical details are more playful than precise (don’t expect Brontë-level accuracy), but that’s part of the charm. It’s like the author winked at the era while tossing in anachronistic sass. If you enjoyed 'The Westing Game' or 'Greenglass House,' you’ll likely love this. It’s a breezy read, perfect for a rainy afternoon when you want something mischievous and smart.
If you're into darkly comedic mysteries with a Victorian twist, 'The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place' is a total gem! The story follows a group of boarding school girls who, after their headmistress drops dead mid-meal, decide to hide the body and run the school themselves. It’s like 'Dead Poets Society' meets 'Clue,' but with way more petticoats and poison. The characters are delightfully eccentric—each girl has her own quirks, from the science-obsessed Stout Alice to the dramatic Dour Elinor. The writing’s sharp, the pacing’s brisk, and the humor’s just macabre enough to keep you grinning. Honestly, I couldn’t put it down—it’s the kind of book that makes you cancel plans just to see how the chaos unfolds. Plus, the ending’s a riot of twists that’ll leave you cackling.
What really hooked me was how the author, Julie Berry, balances absurdity with heart. Beneath the scheming and the arsenic-laced tea, there’s a thread of genuine camaraderie among the girls. It’s rare to find a YA novel that nails both satire and sincerity, but this one does. And if you’re a fan of historical settings with a subversive edge (think 'The Lie Tree' or 'Etiquette & Espionage'), this’ll be right up your alley. Just don’t read it while eating—trust me, some scenes are that vivid.

Oscar Chamberlain once believed he was the happiest man alive. He had nine extraordinary sisters who adored him and never hesitated to show it.
Then the Chamberlain family found their long-lost biological heir, and everything changed.
Overnight, Oscar became nothing more than a temporary stand-in, easily replaced.
For years, he had worked tirelessly for the Chamberlain family, giving them his loyalty and effort without question. Yet on the day their true heir returned, they cast him out without hesitation. He did not even have the chance to show them the diagnosis clutched in his hand: brain cancer, two years left to live.
…
After the nine sisters drove Oscar away, they began, one by one, to sense that something was wrong.
The eldest no longer carried her commanding confidence.
The second lost the sharp decisiveness that had once made her seem unstoppable.
The third found her inspiration drained, her once-celebrated talent slipping into mediocrity.
And the new young heir, when measured against Oscar, fell painfully short.
Only much later did they understand what Oscar had truly meant to the Chamberlain family. By then, regret had come too late.
When they accidentally discovered that he had brain cancer, the news struck them like thunder from a clear sky.
In the pouring rain, they knelt before him, weeping and begging for forgiveness.
This time, however, Oscar chose himself.
"Sorry," he said calmly. "You've already taken back the Chamberlain name. I don't know you anymore."

The Disowned Heiress is a story of betrayal, second chances, and a woman’s quiet war against the people who disowned and framed her for a crime she didn’t commit.
"Do you feel it coming alive?" he whispered. His hand holding mine on his bulge.
"If anyone sees us—" I stuttered. We weren’t alone in the house.
"If you agree to be my good little stepsister—they’ll treat you with respect too."
His dark eyes held a wicked amusement that sent a shiver down my spine. "I know you had a crush on me."
"I—I didn’t know you were my stepbrother," I tried to explain, but he silenced me with a finger to my lips.
That touch! That gentle press of dominance. It was dangerous. It was temptation itself.
"Then no one has to know our dirty little secret." His voice was a trap, laced with seduction. "Be my stepsister by day… and my whore by night."
I had thought I was inching toward freedom. That escape was just within reach. But the noose had been tightening all along.
And this time, it wasn’t fate or circumstance pulling it tight. It was the hands of my own stepbrothers.
..
Lavender wanted a normal life—one where she was respected for who she was, not judged for being born from rape. But everything changed when she helped a wounded stranger– and unknowingly walked into the world of the mafia.
She thought she could escape the ruthless mafia boss she saved—until she found herself in his mansion, introduced as his stepsister. When her mother made her meet her new family, Lavender’s world shattered. How could she tell her mother that her soon-to-be stepbrothers were mafia bosses, who saw her as nothing more than a pawn?
Lavender is left with two choices: fight back or submit to her stepbrothers' control. But can she escape the grip of the mafia? But how can one ever escape the mafia?
Born a high-ranking duke’s successor, Lady Francesca Chandler was sure of her future, not until the appearance of her stepmother, who robs her of father’s attention. In order to gain his favor, she would intentionally involve herself in petty society scandals, garnering the infamous label of being the scandalous lady. But things get more complicated with the sudden death of her father and put her right over the much loved duchy at stake! Vicious Lady Carlotta is taking advantage of young Francesca’s minority to ship her off before she hits legal age where she can decide on her own. In response, young duke’s daughter pulled a boldest unladylike move. She would mind less being called scandalous again if that would mean to save her house and her freedom. Throwing her virtue to a rich, wealthy man of her own taste, with a respectable ancient title, was the only prospect available. A rakehell like the Lord of Syford would definitely do.
Lady Nicole Bradshaw was born to one of the wealthiest families in England and had an arranged marriage since before she was born. She had never laid eyes on Lord Francis Ravenport but she was assured he was a handsome fellow. He had recently moved his company to the West Indies and she wouldn't see him until the wedding. When she gets to travel to London with family friends, she knows she will never lay eyes on the Marquess as her husband.
Austin Duncan was not a special man. He was the third son to an Earl and gave everything up to be in His Majesty's Army. He never dreamed of marriage or finding a young lady due to him being a soldier. In 1789, it was a questionable time and he could never marry to just leave a woman widowed. While in London on assignment, he knows he will throw everything out the window.
One glance at Lady Nicole and Austin knows he will never be the same. Nicole sees him and thinks for sure being an only child is surely unfair and she would risk her reputation for a few moments alone with him. Could a Scandalous Love bring them closer together or tear them worlds apart?
The title 'The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place' already sets the stage for something delightfully mischievous, and the plot doesn’t disappoint. It’s a Victorian-era boarding school mystery where a group of girls—each with their own quirks and secrets—decide to cover up their headmistress’s sudden death to avoid being separated. The scandal comes from their audacious scheme, which involves disguising the death, forging letters, and even faking illnesses to keep up appearances. What makes it so fun is how the girls’ personalities clash and complement each other, turning what could’ve been a grim situation into a darkly comedic farce. The author, Julie Berry, nails the balance between absurdity and suspense, making every twist feel both outrageous and weirdly plausible.
What I adore about this book is how it plays with Victorian sensibilities. The girls’ actions are shocking by the standards of the time—lying, deception, and outright rebellion—but their motivations are relatable. They’re fighting for their independence in a world that wants to control them. The scandal isn’t just about the plot; it’s about the subversion of expectations. And the humor! The way the girls bumble through their cover-up, leaving a trail of ridiculous clues, is pure gold. It’s like if 'Clue' met 'A Little Princess,' but with way more poison and fake mustaches.
