The Ivies, by Alexa Donne.
4/5⭐️⭐️⭐️
TRIGGER WARNINGS-
.
.
.
Death, murder, bullying
What would you do and how far would you go to secure your top choice school? In a wealthy boarding school five girls, including Olivia, form a clique who's main goal is-getting into the top elite universities... at any cost, including but not limited to; sabotage, bribery, blackmail, class disruptions etc. Only, things start to turn deadly when one of the five is admitted into Harvard and the other is not. When one of the Ivies is found murdered all of their secrets and sabotaging start to come to light. Olivia starts to wonder who her friends really are. Can one of them really be a murderer?
I thought the writing was really good and it definitely had you hooked from the start! There were so many twists and turns that I never expected. The ending was a bit of a surprise with the way things ended for Olivia.

Good book. A bit on the younger reader side.

The plot and commentary about the elite getting away with more was good….but something about it just felt off. Not the best written thriller. And the romance was a little afterthought that didn’t have a satisfying ending. Everything felt uneasy because you couldn’t really trust anyone, and everyone was covering themselves. I did like the setting tho

ok so i loved this book sm and was hooked immediately, however at the 100 page mark it was pretty slow. but then at around 200 it picked up and i read the last 100+ pages in one setting. the reveal was very intense, but the person who did it was not really surprising and the motive was lacking. i would definitely recommend! ALSO I LITERALLY LOVE AVERY!!!
