White Ivy by Susie Yang
2.0
Thanks to Simon & Schuster for sending me an ARC for review.
White Ivy tells the story of Ivy Lin, who dreams of a luxurious life and becomes obsessed with the people that could make her dream a reality. Susie Yang is a talented writer who created vivid settings and characters. Reading about the Lin family's relationship with each other while trying to achieve the "American Dream" was intriguing and gave an interesting perspective.
The writing is what kept me reading until I finished this book. All of the characters were so unlikeable that I didn't really care to know what happened to them and there were hardly any eventful moments throughout the book. The plot moved very slowly and the ending didn't tie up any loose ends.
If you like a dark, character driven book and don't mind unlikeable characters, I'd recommend giving this one a shot but unfortunately it just wasn't for me.
