The Ivies by Alexa Donne

5.0

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of this fun YA thriller!

I absolutely love the mean girls/boarding school thriller genre, and The Ivies is a great addition to it! The main character, Olivia, is very relatable and sympathetic, and I really enjoyed getting to know her and watching the events in the book develop through her eyes. I absolutely loved the twists and turns in the plot, and, though I was pretty sure who committed the murder before the end, I still enjoyed watching Olivia and the other characters figure it out. I thought all the characters were complex and well fleshed out, and the shifting allegiances and secrets revealed kept the story moving at a super fast pace.

Definitely recommend!
