Review: Ivy by Willa Nash

From author Willa Nash comes a unique new adult romance with opulence and intrigue, perfect for fans of Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars.

Can you keep a secret?

Aston University might be teeming with prestigious and wealthy students, but the currency on campus isn’t their millions. It’s their secrets. And the three women living at Clarence Manor are filthy rich in lies and deceit.

Two of the roommates have played this game for years. Some would consider them masters of a ruse. The third might be new to Aston, but she’s no stranger to secrets.

Cassia, the outsider. Elora, the ice princess. And Ivy, the puppet master.

Who’s hiding the ugliest truths? We’ll let you be the judge.

Go ahead. Whisper your confessions in our ear.

We promise not to tell.

Review

Ivy was a gem that I found from an Instagram ad. And I hadn’t really known what to expect.  And within a couple of pages, I realized that it was a great decision. Ivy felt like a juicy drama series that you can’t stop watching.

The story is told in three POVS—Ivy, Elora, and Cassia. Three college students who are roommates in a manor owned by Ivy’s family. All three of them have secrets. And I was hooked watching them all unfold. Ivy is the ringleader. The one who craves to learn more about everyone and wants power. Elora is her best friend and watches from the sidelines. And Cassia is the newcomer.

I really enjoyed all the characters and their love interest—Zain, Edwin, and Tate. All of them had a unique path and characterization. And I think for me, the biggest issue I had with this book is that I wish the book was a trilogy. The book is like 500 pages, and I wanted more. And I think that with each character getting their own book, they would have gotten the time they each deserved.

Final Analysis

Ivy is an addictive, angsty, and intense ride that left me craving more.
