Über diesen Titel
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.

Enjoyable Boarding School Drama
A cut-throat clique is determined to get their slots in the Ivy League at whatever cost necessary. When early decision college admissions come around, one of them deviated from the plan and is found dead.
Our protagonist goes an investigates only to find that her friends have been keeping more than a few secrets from her and her dead friend is less innocent than she had presumed. The story is paced well and takes you for a ride in an ultra-exclusive private college. Some motifs of race and class are touched upon, but probably could have done with more exploring.
If you're looking for a challenging read, this is probably not going to be the best candidate, but it is entertaining. The ending arc feels a tiny bit rushed and a lot more unrealistic even within the books setting, but the conclusion is satisfying and makes sense.
The main character is likeable enough, though I wouldn't say that she's fully fleshed out in a lot of her actions. She'll go along with the flow and the plot to not bring you out of it. The voice acting is well done and I enjoyed listening to the audiobook.
