asides from the premise of this book being a tad bit unnecessary (the murder motive was stupid), and the title (purposely I think) resembling aggtm, and a flimsy dash of tsh, it was fun to read for sure. I honestly love that just because the main character isn't tremendously wealthy, she gets a pass on the horrible things she did. Nor does she find romance after all, which is hilarious and refreshing. Conc: I'm not a big fan of university obsession but this was an exception. This over Bunny anyday

I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little disappointed with this book. I was expecting something crazier, meaner, and feel like I got a watered down version of what this book could've been. I did like the camp, though, and overall it was pretty enjoyable even if a little of a letdown in certain aspects.

This book had the most basic and annoying characters. The plot was predictable, and the killer's motive was ridiculous. A lot of the characters had no built up personality whatsoever.
This book is told from the perspective of Olivia, a girl going to a prep school on a scholarship. Her friend group is the elite, all aiming for Ivy League schools and will do just about anything to get that. When an Ivy drops dead, Olivia decides to solve it.
Needless to say, I didn't see that final plot twist coming. It was such an exciting, fast paced book and I truly enjoyed reading it.

This ended up being a really good mystery thriller.
It started a little slow, and the characters were a little off putting and hard to connect with but once Olivia started looking into the murder in earnest, everything really picked up. I felt like the Ivies were true to stereotypes and truly unlikeable girls, to the point where you didn’t want anything good for them. I also like that it played into not being able to trust what anyone from that “community,” the wealthy and the elite boarding school. The reveals were really good and it was very enjoyable.

as a senior currently going through the college admissions process i will say this was an interesting one. i kept going back and forth between who did it to the point where i couldn’t trust anyone. it was so so so good!! totally recommend for murder mystery lovers like me!!
