⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY TO REPUTATION
In this fast-paced new novel from Sara Shepard, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Pretty Little Liars, a tight-knit college town scrambles for answers when an e-mail hack reveals life-changing secrets and scandals.
Aldrich University is rocked to its core when a hacker dumps 40,000 people's e-mails—the entire faculty, staff, students, alums—onto an easily searchable database. Rumors and affairs immediately leak, but things turn explosive when Kit Manning's handsome husband, Dr. Greg Strasser, is found murdered. Kit's sister, Willa, returns for the funeral, setting foot in a hometown she fled fifteen years ago, after a night she wishes she could forget. As an investigative reporter, Willa knows something isn't right about the night Greg was killed, and she's determined to find the truth. What she doesn't expect is that everyone has something to hide. And with a killer on the loose, Willa and Kit must figure out who killed Greg before someone else is murdered.
Told from multiple points of view, Reputation is full of twists, turns, and shocking reveals. It's a story of intrigue, sabotage, and the secrets we keep—and how far we go to keep them hidden. Number one bestseller Sara Shepard is at the top of her game in this brand-new adult novel.

REVIEW
First Paragraph:
Maybe you got it at birth. Maybe you gained it through hard work. Perhaps you have yours because you’re charitable, or ambitious, or an asshole. It’s your reputation. Everyone’s got one. And if you think reputations don’t matter, you’re wrong.
Reputation by Sara Shepard is one heck of a soap opera read! While it isn’t a deeply thought-provoking book, it is certainly entertaining with trifling characters that I loved to hate – sometimes those are the best ones! AND … a hacker exposing everyone’s secret emails? Yes, please! It has all the hallmarks of a page turner – murder, mystery, indiscretions, juicy gossip, and red-herrings-a-go-go. Since I’m a fan of the Pretty Little Liars series, I was expecting the lies, the many twists, and cover-ups to be a tad over the top but this just made the book all that much more compelling to me. I didn’t go into Reputation with the expectation that it would be life-changing and deep; I read it for pure and unadulterated entertainment and I was not disappointed!
Reputation is an engaging page-turner with a thrilling mystery at its heart!
A big thank you to NetGalley, Penguin Group Dutton, and Sara Shepard for providing Reputation for my honest review.
