Enroll in this boarding school thriller about a group of prep school elites who would kill to get into the college of their dreams...literally.
"The Plastics meet the Heathers in this murder mystery about ruthless Ivy League ambition." -Kirkus Reviews
"Twisty and thrilling...boarding school murder has never been so much fun!" –Kara Thomas, author of That Weekend
Everyone knows the Ivies: the most coveted universities in the United States. Far more important are the Ivies. The Ivies at Claflin Academy, that is. Five girls with the same mission: to get into the Ivy League by any means necessary. I would know. I'm one of them. We disrupt class ranks, club leaderships, and academic competitions...among other things. We improve our own odds by decreasing the fortunes of others. Because hyper-elite competitive college admissions is serious business. And in some cases, it's deadly.
Alexa Donne delivers a nail-biting and timely thriller about teens who will stop at nothing to get into the college of their dreams. Too bad no one told them murder isn't an extracurricular.

Wonderful and breezy
The last chapter tied up this book perfectly and it was such a page turner that I read it in one day. I was always trying to figure out what would happen next! Although I predicted some of the outcomes beforehand, I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing; there are tropes for a reason and Donne definitely delivered (and exceeded in some cases) expectations!
One last comment on the voice of the main character: it seemed a lot like the persona that Donne uses on her YouTube channel, and I could not help but to hear it in her voice as I read. Not a bad thing, but I thought it was important to note.
Bear in mind that I only leave 5 star reviews for books I intend to read again. Wonderful, breezy thrillers don’t tend to hit that mark. So keep that in mind :)
fantastic
