Ivy series.
With Rina Onur. Now in the spring of her freshman year at Harvard, Callie is determined to identify the "Ivy Insider" who framed her before she gets expelled. Meanwhile, she pines for Gregory, who's disappeared. While readers won't be surprised when the Insider's identity is finally revealed, they'll nevertheless enjoy the continued accounts of Callie and her upper-echelon friends' hijinks and debauchery.

Ivy series.
With Rina Onur. Callie, now beginning her second semester at Harvard, is thrilled about her relationship with Clint. But her happiness is threatened by Clint's friendship with his ex--Callie's nemesis. Readers will find plenty of swanky parties and boyfriend angst in this third book but may be miffed that the (admittedly juicy) ending sets up yet another installment in Callie's lengthy freshman year.

Ivy series.
With Rina Onur. In this sequel to The Ivy, Harvard freshman Callie is blackmailed by Alexis, who threatens to reveal Callie's sex tape if she gets back together with Clint. Meanwhile, Callie's roommate is still furious with her, and things with Gregory are strained. The miscommunication-laden plot isn't terribly believable, but readers eager for insight into the school's work-hard/play-hard milieu won't mind.

YA
With Rina Onur. In her first semester at Harvard, Callie learns there's more to school than studying. Namely: partying, bonding with her eccentric roommates, discovering good-looking guys, and trying to gain admission to both the Hasty Pudding Social Club and the Harvard Crimson staff. Written by two recent Harvard grads, the book's setting and social media–laden environment feel authentic but the plot goes over the top.
