This reminds me of the clique series, where we have a popular girl group and get to witness the drama of said group. Honestly didn’t see the plot twist at the end , was good. 

The fact that I help edit college admission essays is so funny

Also the reveal was so ridiculous I had to laugh

Oh wait, I mean an Ivy. You're most definitely part of the Ivies now whether you like it or not. Or that's that vibe I got from this group of frenemies. I think at one point they were true friends but things got intense once college came into the picture.

In it, you will meet Olivia, Emma, Avery, Margot and Sierra. Their main goal is to get into certain ivy league schools. It's why they are called the ivies. Clever right? Of course things don't go as planned because certain people apply to where they should not have and shit definitely hits the fan. Multiple times. It was insane and each twist and turn that came my way kept me from trying to figure out who did it.

It was pretty obvious the person that was obvious obviously wasn't the suspect. Phew - what a mouthful! I'm just saying don't trust the obvious person but also don't look the other way. There's so many things these girls keep hidden and secrets definitely come out to play throughout the entire book.

In the end, when the suspect was revealed - well, I wasn't completely surprised. Something seemed off about them and I just caught on way too late. I am, however, surprised with how this ended. I wanted to know how the trial was going to go/end. Ugh, it's killing me not knowing.

I like the writing style a lot, the author has a strong sense of literary prose but the plot itself was just okay. The characters felt a bit more like caricatures than actual characters, but other than that, it was fine.
