White Ivy by Susie Yang
A gripping tale of ambition, identity, and the pursuit of the American Dream, this novel follows Ivy Lin, a Chinese immigrant raised in a working-class family in Massachusetts. As she navigates her teenage years, Ivy becomes adept at petty theft, a skill she uses to blend into the affluent world she yearns to belong to. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she reconnects with her childhood crush, Gideon Speyer, a symbol of the privileged life she desires. The story delves into themes of race, class, and the lengths one will go to achieve their dreams, all while exploring the complexities of love, family, and the masks people wear to fit in.
