The Ivies by Alexa Donne

They are the Ivies of Claflin Academy. Five girls who will stop at nothing to get into the college of their dreams. They scam club elections, sabotage academic competitions... among other things. When one of the Ivies is found dead hours after getting into Harvard, Olivia begins to question how far her friends are willing to go. Will her own acceptance letter become her death sentence?

I’d like to think that if ‘The Plastics’ from Mean Girls were actually interested in getting into the top colleges, that would be this book. Sabotaging other top students, bribing clubs, and hacking into the school’s records to edit grades were nothing more than activities to help put them ahead of the pack to get into an Ivy-League School.

Each of The Ivies is handpicked by the group; only allowing one school per girl the rules are simple: No doubling up on a school, no ratting out the group, and once you’re in - you take part in whatever is necessary to increase the groups’ standings. 

If you want something to keep you guessing, that’s filled with betrayals that can play with your anxiety; I’d highly suggest reading ‘The Ivies’.
