The Ivy / Lauren Kunze and Rina Onur / 312 pages

When Callie arrives for her freshman year at Harvard, she encounters her three vastly different roommates, new friendships, steamy romance, and scandalous secrets.  She learns that five crucial things you should know before you set foot in historic Cambridge, or any college town:  What to read, What to drink, What to eat, What to wear, and Who to meet...and unspoken rule #6 - Freshman girls stay away from the upperclassmen boys.  She's not quite who she is anymore without soccer.  "A busted ACL had put Callie out of commission at the end of last season for possibly forever."  She'd like to write for the college paper.  Unfortunately, the editor has become her sworn enemy.   This is an eye-opener focusing attention on the perils of ivy league life.

"It is less mortifying to believe oneself unpopular than insignificant, and vanity prefers to assume that indifference is a latent form of unfriendliness."

"People can't see talent or passion when they first meet you.  They can only see how you present yourself."

"You can take back a lot of things in this world.  But you can never take back a first impression."
