Malloy Murray is a loner by choice. She was raised by mother who was totally into her sorority, so much so that Malloy has always felt she came second. As such she is not sure that she is interested in joining Beta Gamma Pi. However, her mother, who is now the National President, is sold on her daughter joining. Mom is convinced that Malloy will learn about sisterhood and how to depend on others. Malloy is not so sure, because she feels if she cannot depend on her mom, how can she depend on others? The Way We Roll by Stephanie Perry Moore delves into these issues and others.

As soon as Malloy’s sophomore year starts she runs into Kade, her brother’s friend, who is a very fine star football player. Secretly, she has had a crush on Kade, and immediately after they meet, Kade seems just as interested in her. Things between the two heat up quickly. But, there is a slight problem, Kade already has a girlfriend, Sharon, and not only is she a Beta, she also has no intentions of allowing Malloy to date him. Sharon could also stand in the way of Malloy getting into the sorority. Immediately from that point The Way We Roll moves head long into issues of sisterhood, mother and daughter relationships and the rituals of sororities. Though, these are issues many run into, Ms. Perry Moore does a wonderful job of keeping the reader interested in where the story is going. Also, there are many lessons to be learned about bonding with others and doing the right thing.

I recommend The Way We Roll to all readers who enjoy a well-told, timely story about sororities, friendships and learning to trust.
