Lying and cheating are not even the worst things that happen in this extremely compelling, twisty debut novel about an ambitious thief named Ivy.

From Zhanna's list on most compelling affairs in literature.
White Ivy is such a zippy, delicious read. I don’t even normally like thrillers, but I loved this one.
Part romance, part coming-of-age-story, and part social-climbing satire, this book had an absolutely magnetic protagonist in Ivy, who is the kind of terrible person you can’t look away from. Susie Yang’s writing is both astute and eviscerating, with plenty of memorable lines.
Plus it’s got the most spot-on description of WASP interior design I’ve ever read.
