The Ivies
by Alexa Donne
ehhh! I was excited about this one but it ended up disappointing me. Premise is basically: Prep School girls are trying to get into Ivy League schools, and the head honcho leader girl assigns schools to each girl so there’s no competition (AKA if you're in their social circle, you're only allowed to apply to ONE school) but actually there’s a lot of internal completion and then one of them dies?!?! That was intriguing, but the motive behind the girl’s death was SUPERRR lame and the ending... was just lame. Plain and simple. It was like too much social commentary about college admissions in a YA murder mystery. It all felt really misplaced and fell flat for me
