Their Vicious Games by Joelle Wellington
5.0
Full of commentary on class, race, privilege, and performative allyship, this was a fantastic thriller with a complex protagonist, a Black girl from a working class family who has been able to attend an upper class school on scholarship.
Joining this competition, the other eleven girls are privileged upper class students who clearly have an advantage over Adina. Some have grudges against her, while others have less clear motivations. With twelve girls shut away in the Remington estate, the competition quickly becomes vicious--and shockingly brutal. While Adina is initially set on winning so she can regain her Ivy League admission, her mission evolves as she learns more about the history of the competition and the Remington family.
