College life can be complicated—challenging, rewarding, downright frustrating—and a lot of fun. Warren University freshman Cassandra “Cassie” Davis is up for all of it. Which leaves Cassie facing the dreaded F word…
Fraternity—specifically Delta Tau Chi, a frat on the verge of being banned from the school. Accused of offensive, sexist behavior, they have one year to clean up their act.
With one shot at a scholarship to the school of her dreams, Cassie pitches an unusual research project—to pledge Delta Tau Chi, take on the boys’ club and provide proof of their misogynistic behavior. It’s not against the rules, which means the DTC brothers will have to face the dreaded F word…
Feminist—the type of girl who thinks frat brothers are nothing but tank-top-wearing “bros” and is determined to see them booted from the school.
But things aren’t as simple as they appeared. Some of the DTC brothers are much more than she ever expected to find in a frat house. With her academic future on the line and her heart all tangled in a web of her own making, Cassie will ultimately have to define for herself what the F word is all about.

"This book should be optioned for a teen movie. Fast read, interesting characters. Poses a feminist point of view into a male fraternity culture and shows that men and women can be friends and live together, despite preconceived notions. Do not be put off by the publisher being teen harlequin novel. I am 60 and really enjoyed it!! Also a study of best friends."

Frat Girl Kiley Roache Books Reviews
- "I believed that stories helped us to ennoble ourselves, to fix what was broken in us, and to help us become the people we dreamed of being. Lies that told a deeper truth." - Dr. Ford, Westworld
As a friend of Kiley's, it was profoundly unique experience reading about traditions/events that actually happened and fictionalized versions of people we know, but that she drew from real life is what makes it authentic. The views and actions of the characters are those of many college students around the nation. And while it is especially easy to stereotype college students and reduce them to their most obvious and outward traits, Kiley sees beyond the surface to imbue them with depth and growth.
It is the depth and growth that makes this a story worth reading. Feminism and Greek life are two issues that polarize, driving each side to make black and white of issues that are deeply nuanced. Each is rife with double standards. Each can dig themselves into deeper holes by defending those double standards.
Cassie, our protagonist, is not a sage, enlightening all those who cross her path. She is as flawed as those around her. Her anti-sorority views come crumbling down when she is berated (rightfully) for being hypocritical, for not realizing that it is anti-feminist to hold the idea that being able to choose your own path doesn't mean that you can't choose the "girly" path. Choosing not to be a housewife doesn't mean you have to view yourself as wholly superior to those who do choose that lifestyle, but either way it should be your choice.
Having been in a fraternity myself, Kiley's depiction is absolutely fair. Not all of the rampant misogyny comes from a place of malintent. Some does, but often it's simply ignorance. That doesn't make it excusable, but it also doesn't mean that members are lost causes.
Frat Girl is important and comes at a crucial time. It not only bridges the gap in these divisive issues, but provides fresh viewpoints on the path forward. It should be read by every college administration; banning fraternities doesn't change the members' behavior or views, but roots their hatred deeper and disperses them into other communities. - This book should be optioned for a teen movie. Fast read, interesting characters. Poses a feminist point of view into a male fraternity culture and shows that men and women can be friends and live together, despite preconceived notions. Do not be put off by the publisher being teen harlequin novel. I am 60 and really enjoyed it!! Also a study of best friends.
- Frat Girl is a page turner. I finished the book at 2 am, and wanted more! I fell in love Cassie, Duncan and Peter, and their journey of self-discovery. Roache gives us stereotypes and then pushes us to look beyond them as her characters grapple with the ideals of feminism, sexism, brotherhood and friendship, amongst others. Roache brings a fresh, creative new voice to the literary world!
- I know this is going to sound cliqued but I feel like I needed to read this book. It honestly changed me. Changed the way I viewed feminism, and women and sororities, and fraternities. In the beginning of this book I thought I was getting this take down book. Take down the man because of how horrible they all are. But what I got was something I didn't expect but needed. All fraternities are not the problem. Not all men are the problem. Some of them are probably more educated then I am on feminism and womens rights. Some of these men wish to do the same thing some of us women want to. Educate these people who think "women lay eggs" and "feminism is something ugly" and "women hate men" and so on. This book really opened my eyes. At times I agreed with what Cassie agreed with, and at times I wondered if I too was lost like her and needed to reevaluate what feminism meant. I think what Cassie was doing trying to educate everyone on her college campus about feminism was so BRAVE and POWERFUL. And the backlash she got was shocking. All she was trying to do was educate people on women's rights. What's wrong with that.? Nothing at all. I think this book was well done. It was so well done. Kiley Roache did such an amazing job showing the different perspectives from women like Cassie views of feminism to girls like Leightons view of feminism, to guys like Bass and to guys like Peter and Duncan. I'm so glad she provided so many perspectives. Not only was the story itself interesting but I felt like it changed some part of me. I was already a feminist but I wanted to pick up more books and learn more about feminism. And fight for women who want to express their needs. Such as having the right to have sex with whoever they want whenever they want because why the hell not. I'm so thankful to Kiley for watching something like this. I can promise I'll pick up anything else she reads from now on. Stay woke Kiley Roache.
