![]() ![]() ![]() Her singular ambition is to be a prominent socialite – an “It Girl.” While most would kill for a place at Devon, to her college is a dreary impediment. Lulu Harris is an entitled freshman-er, firstyear-from Manhattan. His beloved Devon, though, has become a place of warring tribes, and there are landmines waiting for Eph that he is unequipped to see. He may look and sound privileged, but Eph is right out of gun-rack, Bible-thumping rural Alabama. ![]() ![]() SummaryĪ tumultuous and often hilarious first novel about one year of insanity at the Ivy-like Devon University, a blissful bubble of elite students and the adults at their mercy.Įph Russell is an English professor up for tenure. This is a book that I wouldn’t normally pick up in the store or really be drawn to if I’m being honest, but I liked the summary and the fact that this author is also a Yale alum. This is Scott Johnston’s first novel his having attended Yale, I think indicates he has first hand knowledge and even more authenticity to add to a book like this and made me eager to check it out. I couldn’t pass on this one because I was too drawn to the idea of it. The summary of this book promised to include all the things that I find captivating about ivy league schools….elitism and rich people problems. My sister works at Harvard as one of their librarians so any time I see a book about an ivy league college, I find myself drawn to it. ![]()
