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.
