Group leader Avery leads 4 other girls at their preparatory high school and designates them to which Ivy League school to apply to. All 5 of these girls are competing with each other on admissions in Ivy League schools. They use immoral tactics like connections, money, and ruining the chances of others just to secure their spot in an Ivy League school. When Emma secretly applies to Harvard University and gets accepted, the group of girls is furious. Anger, betrayal, chaos, and even death pursue this action. From the group, Oliva becomes an amateur sleuth, and tries to find out the truth on the murder of Emma. The Ivies is an eerie book but gives a good perspective on how some students feel during college admissions. This book has a lot of twists and turns and is a great read for anyone applying to college.
