In anyone’s life comes the time when the whole stress of intensive learning finds its climax in the final exams and –hopefully- a successful graduation from High School. Callie Andrews is no exception; yet, her finals are topped by the admission to the oldest and most accredited university of the Old and New World: Harvard. Being a prior soccer captain, Californian Callie is confronted not only with the immense academic expectations, but also challenged by many unwritten laws. Styling guidelines, social hierarchy, extracurricular activities build rather the basis since Callie is her own misery: many gorgeous guys equal a lot of trouble. The true dimension of her dilemma is yet to be explored.
“The Ivy” is pure entertainment: nasty Harvard socialite meets innocent girl. The thought of ‘once you made it into Harvard, nothing is an obstacle anymore’ is truly contradicted. Despite certain differences, “The Ivy” can easily be mentioned in one breath with the “Gilmore Girls”, moreover, a sequel of Rory’s time at Yale. Luckily, it shall be a series and has definitely potential to become a movie or a TV production. Lauren Kunze’s work is definitely a book that should not be missed in a girl’s book shelf. As you can see, I am completely satisfies and excited + I can’t wait for the next part!
