The Ivies by Alexa Donne
3.0

I received a digital advanced reader's copy through NetGalley.

I'd probably go 3.5 stars if I could. I love, love, love books that take place at boarding schools, especially if they're about how awful and spoiled most of the kids at the boarding school are. This book was very plot driven which is true of most thrillers, and a couple of the characters were a little flat. Margot, in particular, kept slipping my mind completely, and I don't think I could tell you one thing about her. That said, I blew through this book, the story moved quickly, and there were a couple of good twists. It's a little mature for my students, but I'd recommend it to the librarians at the high schools in my district for sure. I could see a lot of teens really loving it.
